Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting. 

I bet you know the difference between a momma’s boy and a guy’s guy. Don’t get me wrong, I do love everyone of all ages, big and small but if you gave me an option, I’m always gonna roll with the boys. Bubba here, and I am a guy’s guy through and through, so I’d love to have one around my new home. While we’re at it, maybe throw in a companion; a fellow canine would be a great joy to me. I don’t care what kind of dog is in the new place, it’s easy for me to make friends. Although, I do have to say, like the 35 lb adult English Bulldog that I am, I do tend to get a little guarded with my stuff, so some extra toys for sharing and a friendly nudge of a redirect could be of service. 

Did I hear you say car ride? Man, I love those! Windows down, tongue out, and wind blowing through my cheeks, that’s the good stuff. While I am playful and very social, don’t misunderstand, I can also kick back and be a total couch potato. I love those lazy days. Except when that thing comes out of the closet. You know what I’m talking about? It makes a lot of strange noise, sucks my leftover treats that fell out of my mouth out of the carpet, and seems to follow me around everywhere I go. OH! A vacuum is what humans call it. That thing will scare the living daylights out of me. One other thing to know, I am on eye drops for my dry eyes. I will need those potentially lifelong. My eyes feel so much better with that and will happily take my drops.

Since I'm pretty well trained when it comes to my leash and going potty, I don’t require a fenced yard. I like going on a little walk here and again, especially if I can make new acquaintances along the way. I also don’t mind taking a rest in my kennel here and there, that’s a place that doesn’t bother me. Maybe if I show you my good boy qualities, and sit when you tell me to, you could reward me with a bone, they’re my favorite! If you’re looking for a social yet respectable best friend and a snuggle partner, I’ll be just that!

*Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.

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.
