VRS 6/13 ME
Hello, my name is Quinn. I am a lovely adult female French Bulldog who loves her people and will follow them like a shadow wherever they go. I suppose you can already tell that I don’t like to be left alone! Hee, hee!! This also means that I don’t like to be put in that cave you humans call a kennel/crate. Since I am food motivated, I will go in there if coaxed with a peanut butter filled Kong but make no mistake, I will voice my discontent so a home with shared walls is not a good idea for this gal!! It’s simple really… if you don’t need to be in there then why do I? I'm a bit of a velcro frenchie and when I pick my person, they're mine for life! I’ve learned to love toys and a good game of tug. I also enjoy bully sticks, all things ‘chewy’, napping, observing the goings on around me, lounging with my people, sunbathing on the patio, and getting pets! As I have received more and more affection and learned to trust my people, I have even started enjoying being held and I really love sleeping in the bed with my people! I admit however, that mom is trying to help me break my habit of trying to nest in the bed with scratches and playful bites! I have not met any cats, but I am good with other dogs and mom is also helping me break my resource guarding habit. You see, if one of my fur sibs tries to steal mom’s affection from me, I will push them away or lightly nip at them and apparently that is not good manners and is highly frowned upon in this establishment! Hee, hee!! I would love to be the only do and soak up all the attention, but also enjoy playing with other dogs - I just need a strong pack leader to remind me I'm not the boss... aybe that's the frenchie in me?! As for kids, well, I do tend to be a bit mouthy with my affection so younger kids are probably not a good fit for me! I recently learned about that leash thing and think it's pretty great to check out the neighborhood on nice days! I had surgery on my nose and dang, I breathe so much better now and am ready for adventures! I do know commands like “down”, “come”, and “go potty” and I do my personal business outside where it belongs! Tee, hee, hee!! So, you can see that I am smart too! My life is almost complete…all I need now is YOU! I know that you will love me unconditionally and never give up on me and that’s exactly what I’m looking for in my furever family. I promise I’m worth it and I will love you bigger than life!! Love, Quinn 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. In addition to normal pre adoption surgeries, Quinn also had surgery on his nares and soft palate to improve the quality of her breathing. This is reflected within her adoption fee. 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. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** More about QuinnGood with Dogs, Good with Older/Considerate Kids Only, Good with Adults, Somewhat vocal, Does not require a yard, Leashtrained, Likes to play with toys, Likes to be in your lap, Playful, Affectionate, Eager To Please, Goofy Special Needs: She had a corneal ulcer but it has healed If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com>
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.
