Hello, my name is Laney, and I am a gorgeous young adult female French Bulldog who loves nothing more than being with my people. For the most part, I’m a carefree girl but I admit I’m a bit cautious when meeting new people. That is, of course, until they prove to me that they want to be friends after that I don’t want to be left out of any part of the action so don’t even THINK about closing a door and leaving me on the other side of it! By the way, this goes for that cave thing you humans call a “kennel/crate” too. I do just fine when I’m out of the kennel but if I must be in there I will whine in disapproval!!

I am a playful girl who does the best bounce-n-pounce when I get excited and my favorite activities include laying outside with my people, going on car rides, taking long naps on the couch, cuddling in bed at night, chewing on bully sticks, tossing my stuffed hedgehog in the air and chasing it, and playing fetch (unless I decide I’d rather shake the toy as hard as I can). I guess I sometimes feel the need to remind my toys who’s boss!! Anyway, I have not met any cats, but I am good with kids and other dogs. I have a foster fur brother and I love him a lot, but I don’t know if I need a sibling at my new home because I also enjoy my personal space and spending one-on-one time with my people. I am leash trained; I know commands like “come”, “outside”, and “go potty” and I am close to potty trained if I could remain on a good, consistent schedule.

I am a tiny but mighty girl with an enormous heart, and I will love you fiercely if you promise to love me unconditionally and NEVER give up on me! Will you be my furever family? The memories we will make together will fill your heart for a lifetime! Love, Laney

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, Laney also had surgery on her 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.

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.
