French Bulldog puppies and dogs in Apple Valley, Minnesota

Nellie is a sweet 3 yr old Frenchie that loves to play and be loved on, but she gets possessive when it comes to people she cares about or her food. She is good with our 8 year old daughter and our family she grew up around but can get aggressive when there are strangers in the house due to her anxiety. Transparently, this makes it challenging to have company over, unless you’re able to put her in a separate room. She’s also prescribed anxiety medication to help with this. She’s good with some dogs but not all. She’s also only partially potty trained but will go outside if taken out regularly. She really needs a family that can give her the time and attention she needs while being patient as she warms up to you. She also could use some behavioral training, which we don’t have the resources for.

Ollie is a half English half French bulldog that is almost 7 years old. He is very sweet and loves to be with people. He would be best without other animals, as he has a lot of energy around them. He can be aggressive around people he does not know and is protective of his owners. He would benefit from a fenced in yard with a higher fence, as he tries to get over the fence. He would also be best without little kids, as he has a lot of energy around them too. He would do best in a home with fewer people and someone who is home with him for most of the day.

Meet Eeyore Breed : French Bulldog Male : Fixed His backstory is as sad as many other dogs Eeyore was found as a stray on the streets in San Antonio ,Texas. He was neglected for way too long his poor body was tired and full of benign skin masses. After 2 surgeries he is a very happy little old man what still has so much love to give . His perfect adopter would be someone what is retired that can spend some quality time together. No small kids because he is so fragile. No other dogs or maybe one other dog depending on demeanor. Because our little Eeyore developed an obsession for toys. He collects all the toys and does not want to share with his foster siblings...even IF he has hoarded their toy!! :) Absolutely not.. he said mine mine mine . Kennel trained : He is in his kennel when I go to work. Does he like it no he will sing you the Frenchie song . Potty trained : Yes he got the hang of it also uses the doggy door . Love's : car rides in his doggie car seat , loves snacks and food , yogurt and Fresh blueberries Medication : Daily eye drops or eye cream . Eeyore deserves the BEST home!

The fenced yard has also helped with my potty training – with a good routine I am doing great. We are also working on crate training and I am a superstar! While I’m good with other dogs, I don’t show much interest in them – I am just a mellow gal! I don’t bark often (usually just when suuuuper excited when you come home).  I’ll even manage a few zoomies when you return just for show.  And if you tell me to “lay down”, I am smart enough to know that’s when I need to lay on my bed.  Just don’t stand/walk behind me (remember that skittish thing I have?),  I like to be the one in the caboose section.  I don't need another dog in my home, if my people are home often. If you are, having another doggie buddy to hang out with would be great! Overall, I’m a chill dog.  Sleeping/naps are what I do the most. We are working leash walks and I am a little alarmed with the pull of the leash, but we are practicing!   If I sound like a good match for you, that’s wonderful!  Until I hear, I’ll just stay here napping and gnawing on bones. *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 adopters 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.   ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com> ADOPTION EVENTS:      Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up.

I'm Danny Devito, a lovable 9-year-old French Bulldog, weighing in at 24 pounds of pure charm. I may be a senior, but I've got the heart of a puppy and the spirit to match. I'm all about being close to my humans, no matter where we are – inside, outside, at home, or out and about. I'm pretty mild-mannered, except when it's feeding time. Then, I become very vocal, urging you to hurry up with my meal! I love a little yummy in my tummy! I adore everyone I meet and will happily lay at anyone's feet for some pets and love (and treats!). At the dog park, I love hanging out with bigger dogs. I might be small, but I enjoy running around their ankles and joining in the fun. Despite my age, I still have short bursts of energy and an entertaining running style that can make anyone smile. I love toy bones and stuffed animals, and after doing my business outside, I make sure to remind you – loudly – that I've earned a treat. I never let you forget the treats! I'm great with cats, always respectful, and I don't need a fenced yard. Leash training is a work in progress, and while I'm not a fan of long walks due to my little legs, I do okay with short distances. I can be quite dramatic if you try to take me too far – I'll lay down on the grass or sidewalk and close my eyes until you pick me up and carry me. I'm potty trained for poop, but we're still working on a routine for pee  - sometimes foster mom puts a belly band on me just in case. I'm crate trained and know the hand signal for "come," and we're working on "kennel." I’m a little hard of hearing so the hand signals are working great. I'm mild-mannered, love to snuggle, and will take over any blanket within reach. I have a particular fondness for cat toys if you have those lying around. Stairs are a bit of a challenge for me – I do a silly slow-hop that sometimes needs a bit of encouragement. I thrive on attention, petting, and treats. If you're looking for a low-energy companion who loves snuggles and has a big personality in a small package, I'm your guy. Could I be the perfect addition to your family? *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.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.  Keep checking back for upcoming events I will be attending!       Meet Scout! This adorable one-year-old Frenchie is on the lookout for his forever family! Despite being born with spina bifida, Scout doesn't let it slow him down. While he may need to wear a diaper and suspenders due to lack of control over his urine and bowls, his ability to stand up makes diapering a breeze. He is able to express his bladder and bowel himself and does not require and assistance in that realm - just changing his diaper. Frankly, not having to go outside in bad weather is a plus, and there is nothing to pickup in your backyard! Because of this, Scout cannot go 8+ hours a day without diaper changes, so he does require someone who works from home, or can stop home to help change his diapers to avoid infection and chaffing. Scout is full of personality, with plenty of opinions to share. He's a playful pup who never seems to tire out, often leaving his friends wondering how he keeps up the energy. When playtime winds down, Scout isn't one to rest for long; he'll grab a toy and entertain himself by tossing it around with gusto. Scout is eager to find a loving home where he can continue spreading joy and laughter with his playful antics. Due to his energetic ways, not all dogs appreciate his play He has doggie friends, who enjoy playing like him, but it is not preferred by all. Scout can't wait to start a basic obedience class with you to keep learning and to make up for lost socialization when he was a younger pup. Scout has not met any kids, but is ok with dog-savvy cats.  He is crate and leash trained, so does not require a fenced in yard.  Scout is looking for a special home, but we know it is out there Scout is an incredibly sweet boy who loves life and not all he needs is YOU…a patient, unconditionally loving fur-ever family that will NEVER give up on him. Sure, he may be a bit higher maintenance than others, but his heart is enormous and it’s overflowing with love that he wants to share with an amazing family. If you will welcome him into your world, he promises you that not only will he show off his excited bouncy dance, but he will make you the center of his universe!!  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.
