Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending!
Hi friends, Dune here! I’m a young Frenchie man and foster mom says that I’m a “great pup!” I’m still taking in this new world here, after spending time with my breeder before coming to Underdog. I missed out on some socialization things, but I’m making up for that lost time. I’m very food motivated, so I can’t wait to start a socialization class with you and keep learning. I am good with other dogs 90% of the time, but I get a little alpha around toys and bones. Because of that, the humans here agreed I'd do best as an only dog so those stressers don't show themselves. I am a quiet guy and could live somewhere with shared walls or an apartment - 've only barked a few times!
Crate training is going well and I sleep in there at night and when the humans leave - sometimes I even go in there to nap or put myself to bed at night! They work from home, so I’m not left alone too often, but make no noises when in there. I sleep all night long and can’t wait to see you in the morning. I love eating food and that also makes mornings fun. I have been known to stand on my hind legs to see what you humans have on plates up there! I don’t know how to ask to go outside yet, but every time we go out, I go potty! I’ve got a pretty predictable schedule which helps, too! I don’t mind wearing a harness and am leash trained. One thing I am still working on is not eating my poop - sorry - sometimes I still do that but the humans remind me that I don't need to clean up after myself and it's getting much better.
I am an expert cuddler and do just about anything you do - like cuddling on the couch. I love to chew, so having lots of bones is great! I haven’t met any cats or young kids, but should be good with both. I enjoy a good bone and squeaky toy, too. I did great at a winery and love going for car rides and checking out this new world!
If you’re looking for an easy-going, playful companion to snuggle with, I’m your guy!
*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.

Pour toute adoption, nous demandons des justificatifs afin de compléter le dossier de l’adoptant : une pièce d’identité, un justificatif de domicile original de moins de 3 mois, et le certificat d’engagement et de connaissance des besoins spécifiques de l’espèce complété et signé 7 jours avant l’acquisition de l’animal.
Nous demandons également une participation financière, couvrant les frais vétérinaires dont l’animal a bénéficié lors de sa prise en charge (stérilisation, identification, vaccination, etc..). Si l’animal n’est pas encore stérilisé lors de l’adoption, un chèque de caution de 300€ est demandé.
