Hi there! My name is Scarlet, and I'm a 6-year-old French Bulldog. I weigh about 20 pounds, and I’m ready to find my forever home!
I have a super social and friendly personality. I love everyone I meet, both humans and dogs of all sizes! Whether we're at home or out and about, I'm always happy to make new friends. I’m a loving companion who thrives on praise and affection. I even have a funny little dance that will make you smile!
I'm happiest wherever you are. Whether we’re going for a walk or taking a ride in the car, I’m just excited to be with you.
I'm making great progress on my potty training! I’ve got my crate training down, and I know several obedience commands: Sit, Come, Kennel/Crate, a command for "Outside," and Go Potty.
I don’t need a fenced yard because I walk nicely on a leash for my potty breaks and exercise. I do fine without another dog in the house, but I enjoy the company of my foster sibling and like to follow her around. Watching her helps me learn, especially with my potty training. Positive reinforcement works wonders for me!
I do have a little quirk: when I’m first left alone, I might bark or howl for a minute, but then I settle down.
Like many bulldogs, I've got some allergies. My toes are itchy and my ears were very swollen. I am now on a low allergen kibble and/or a raw diet with added supplements and we are seeing improvements. I also enjoy epsom salt soaks on my little paws - that feels so nice. I will need a forever home who is committed to keeping up my homeopathic allergy regime so I can be as healthy as possible!
If you’re looking for a loving, fun, and friendly companion who will brighten your days, look no further. I’m Scarlet, and I can’t wait to meet you!
*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.
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.
