French Bulldog puppies and dogs in Monticello, Minnesota

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.  Want to meet me? Come to Broken Clock Brewing & Celebrate "SANTA PAWS" (1712 Marshall St NE Suite 100, Minneapolis, MN 55413) for an Adoption Event on Saturday September 21st, 12:00-2:00 pm. Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs.   Hi – my name is Malaga and I hope my initial shyness doesn’t turn you away from adopting me.  You see, once I warm up to you and feel safe, my goofy personality comes out to play.  Although I am very skittish, I am also very submissive.  I never show any aggression or bite.  In fact, I have a 5-year old friend here at my foster home and I don’t mind her.  Due to my skittish nature, I do need a fenced yard.  It’s just best for all of us that way so I don’t get away. 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 have learned SO much from having another dog in my foster home that I do kindly ask for one in my forever.  They have been so instrumental in teaching me how to dog and cuddle, play, wrestle, etc! 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.

I’m a little shy at first, but every day, I’m getting braver and more comfortable. My absolute favorite thing? Riding around in my stroller! I’m still working on leash training—I tend to army crawl when I’m on it—but I’m making progress. Because I am not leash trained, I do require a fenced yard in my forever home. When my foster comes home, I get super excited with wiggles, barks, and finger-licking to say hello. I’ve started coming up on my own to give a few licks and then move on to explore. I also love to sunbathe on the deck, and I’m starting to enjoy playing with toys like balls and stuffies. Chewing on bones is another favorite pastime. At night, I sleep in an x-pen because I like being able to see everything around me, but I do have a kennel I like to hang out in during the day, especially near my foster brother. We are working on potty training and I am doing great on a schedule. I’m still learning to trust new people and situations, so I’ll need a home with another confident, social dog who can show me the ropes and help me feel safe. Oh and if you haven’t had a bulldog before, you should know you’ll need to wash my wrinkles almost every day since they get filled with goobers and slobber.  *winkwink* Another thing to know about my diet is that I have some food sensitivities that are typical to bulldogs and am on a raw food diet. I would prefer to continue eating raw if possible. When I went into the vet, I had some pretty nasty ear infections and that is why my ears curl and flop. Foster mom says it gives me personality - and I agree.  Because I was not spayed at a young age, I have a hormone related mass in my uterus. Since being spayed, it has already decreased and will continue to do so. It causes me no issues, but they said I should note that here.  In time, that should go away, so nothing major to worry about there!  I also had my breathing surgeries on my nose and DANG does it feel good to breathe now. I'm all fixed up and ready to keep learning about this new life with you. I can be a little sassy, especially with my “Frenchie bark”, but it’s all part of my charm. I’m a timid and sweet girl, and once I warm up, I really want to be part of the family. It may take some time for me to fully adjust, but with patience and love, I’ll show you just how special I am! *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.

I'm Elmer, but know the name Vinny. I'm a 9-year-old Frenchie, and I weigh around 33 pounds. Let me tell you a bit about myself. First and foremost, I absolutely adore my humans. I’m a cuddle bug who loves to follow my people around the house. I never let them out of my sight. If you're sitting in a chair or working in the office, I'll be right there, lying in my dog bed or on the floor next to your feet. And if you sit or lie on the couch, I’ll be up there with you, making sure I’m touching you. I don't jump, I climb up carefully. I have a few favorite things that make my tail wag. I love treats, especially when I get to go into my kennel. I also enjoy playing with balls, soft toys, squeaky toys, and bones. I love chasing basketballs. I think I can fit them in my mouth, and I will chase them as long as you let me! I’m potty trained on a routine and good if we stick to it. Speaking of outside, I don’t need a fenced yard because I walk nicely on a leash for my potty breaks and exercise. I can comfortably walk about a mile or less, making me a great companion for shorter walks. I know some cool commands too: Sit, Stay, Come, and Leave It. Also, I am great overnight in the kennel and don’t mind sleeping in sometimes. I have to admit, I can be a bit possessive of my humans around other dogs, so I’d do best as the only dog in the house. I promise to be all the companion you need. If you do have other pups, I'd do best with those that are low key like me. Barky, playful ones - not my jam.  It would be best if my forever home understand that I have the potential to resource guard my people so will need to be reminded that not everyone is mine.  I really like making them happy, so this shouldn't be a big issue if you keep helping me with my training. You might notice my cute little quirk—I’m missing some front teeth, so sometimes my lips stick to my gums, showing my teeth, and occasionally my tongue sticks out. It’s pretty adorable if I do say so myself! As an older gentleman, my kidneys are not as high functioning as they once were.  I was recently diagnosed with stage 2 kidney disease.  As long as you take good care of me and feed me an appropriate diet to help my kidneys not work overly hard, there is no reason  I won’t continue to have a normal lifespan.  I also take meds for high blood pressure. when I went into the vet it was borderline, almost high, so we started meds just in case. I’m an easygoing and laid-back kind of guy. I’d be perfect for an elderly couple or someone who works from home because I LOVE being with my humans. If you're looking for a loyal, loving, and low-maintenance friend, 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.       ***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.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.  Want to meet me? Come to Broken Clock Brewing & Celebrate "SANTA PAWS" (1712 Marshall St NE Suite 100, Minneapolis, MN 55413) for an Adoption Event on Saturday September 21st, 12:00-2:00 pm. Please email inquiries@underdogrescuemn.com for questions regarding the dogs. 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.

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.
