Hello beautiful world! Is there anyone out there who loves Frenchies? Oh wait! Everyone out there loves Frenchies! My name is Yoshi and I am an absolutely adorable French Bulldog. I am around 4 years old and quite a handsome young man if I do say so myself.

I weigh 30 lbs and am a very sweet and fun-loving little guy. I really love my people and love to follow foster mom around so I can be a part of whatever is going on. I enjoy my strolls around the neighborhood so I can strut my stuff and stop and say hello to all the wonderful new people I meet. I just love people! I even like those little people who are under age 12. I’m a very respectful boy when it comes to those furry meowy creatures. I’m a pretty quiet little guy and the only time I bark is when I am alarmed by something.

Some of my favorite things are being silly, rolling in the grass, playing fetch, playing with toys and napping on the couch with foster mom. I really like to tear apart squeaky toys and chew on antlers and bones, too. But most of all I love being with my foster mom. She’s the best foster mom and I am hoping my forever family is as wonderful as she is.

I am a little nervous with loud noises - who isn’t! Foster mom is working hard with me on potty training and walking on leash. I am still learning both so I will need someone patient and kind to help me continue to learn. I don’t quite get how to tell you I need to go out to potty yet so I need to be kept on a schedule to avoid any mistakes on my part. I want to be a good boy and I don’t like making mistakes! I love to chew so it’s important that you kindly and consistently provide me with the things you want me to chew so that I don’t chew the things you don’t want me to chew.

I don’t need a fenced yard because I will do my business on leash. I am a really good boy in my crate. I don’t need another dog in the home to keep me company. In fact, I need a slow introduction to bigger dogs so that I will feel safe.

I am super smart and I already know what “kennel/crate”, “go potty”, and “bissoux” means. Do you know that bissoux is French for ‘kiss’? I do.

According to my foster mom I am the bestest boy in the whole world and I just want to be your buddy. I have an adorable underbite (I’m soooo cute)! I catch on quickly to the routine that is expected of me and also to any corrections to behaviors that foster mom may not like. I always want to please foster mom!

I can’t wait for my forever home! Could you be my forever person?

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.

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.
