Hi - I'm Mabel the Boston Terrier! I'm told I am the happiest Boston in th e whole wide world, and well, that's probably right! I am loving life in my Foster Home and checking out this new world now that my days of being a mama dog are over.  I like to be on the move and check all the new things out.  Once I get the lay of the land and settle in, I like scratches and belly rubs and playing!  I can also be a little food obsessed and was a bit overweight when I was rescued. Sorry, not sorry, but they say I need a Forever Home who will help me maintain my summer ready bod!  I am kennel trained and enjoy my safe, quiet time in there.  I am not super great on leash, but I know we can learn that together because checking out all the outdoors seems like it would be super fun!  I am doing well with my potty training on a good schedule, but promise to keep perfecting that with you.  I like dogs of all sizes, but could also be an only dog with you, if you are home often!  I should be good with kids, but I haven't met any quite yet.  Older ones might be better because I do sometimes jump when I get excited and might knock over those toddler types.  I would love a fenced in yard, but if you promise to work with me on leash training, I think I would learn that pretty quickly.
I cannot wait to find my perfect Forever Home and learn all about life with you! Fill out an Bulldog application today and let's get to meeting!

Boston Terriers are a member of the Brachycephalic breed and therefore have a host of health issues that may arise.  Because these dogs are new into our rescue, health issues in the future may arise that we are not aware of.  Some of these issues are allergies, eye issues, yeast infections, interdigital cysts, slipped disks in their back, breathing problems, among a host of others that can occur at any time or when seasons change. While breed experience is not required, we encourage you to thoroughly research the breed and its financial, medical, and environmental needs to be sure the breed is a good fit for you and your family. Mabel did have surgery on her soft palate to improve the quality of her breathing and this is reflected within her adoption fee.
Brachycephalic Breeds are one of the most expensive dogs to own, maintain, and rescue and our adoption fees reflect such expenses.  The application process usually moves quite quickly as they are a popular breed, so we ask that adopters do research and be prepared for adoption at the time you submit your application.  They are happy, goofy, playful characters and we are excited you are taking the first steps into rescuing one!  
his dog requires an application fee.  This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void.    We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion. Bulldog Applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee.  Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the bulldog. Our goal is place dogs in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the bulldog, we will not approve your application.

ADOPTION EVENTS:     

Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend.  Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved.

ADOPTION PROCEDURE:

FOSTER CARE:

All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience.  If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website  www.underdogrescuemn.com/foster-applications  and fill out a foster application.

NUTRITION:

Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets.  All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet.  All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal.
