Hello, my name is Tahoe, and I am a very sweet and gentle male French Bulldog puppy who loves to play…I’m super smart too! In fact, I already know commands like ‘sit’, ‘come’, ‘go potty’, ‘leave it’, ‘kennel/crate’ and I’m looking forward to learning many more wonderful things with my new family…hopefully that will be YOU!

I’m typically one of those quiet types but I like to holler a bit when I’m playing. My favorite pastimes include playing fetch and with my stuffed toys, doing zoomies with my sibs, snack time, and most of all, cuddling with foster mom and my fur sibs. I have not met any kids, cats, or larger dogs but I’m a docile guy, so I think I’d be ok with them. I’m still a puppy working on potty training but I’m confident that with patience and consistency I will master it in no time. I do not have any leash training but I have the luxury of a wonderfully fenced yard in which to frolic and do my business so I really hope my new yard will be fenced too!

Anyway, foster mom says that I am “just darling”, and she especially loves my underbite. All I need now is to find the furever home I’ve always dreamed about. Are you ready to welcome a younger guy into your life who is not only eager to learn and will listen to everything you tell me but my ability to keep a secret is astounding…I’m just sayin’! Hee, hee!! That said, I have an enormous heart and I cannot wait to settle in with a loving and patient family who will shower me with unconditional love and NOT give up on me… I hope I can share my life with YOU!! Love, Tahoe

Bulldogs 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. It is estimated that the average bulldog owner spends $2,000 per year on medical needs. Tahoe did not receive surgery on his nares or soft palate, but it may be needed as he gets older. Brachycephalic Obstructed Airway Syndrome (BOAS) experience is great, if not, please research to be sure you are prepared.

Bulldogs are one of the most expensive dogs to own, maintain, and rescue and our adoption fees reflect such expenses. The application process for bulldogs 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!

This 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 bulldogs 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:

The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website:

http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/adoptionprocess/

Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN.

All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/contact-us/ if you have further questions.

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.
