Meet Pierre!  This handome guy is full on sweatheart!  He raelly loves to run in the fenced in backyard and is making up for lost time of spending most of his life prior  to Underdog being a breeding stud, living in a kennel.  He is figuring out what toys and treats are and how good those things can be - and fun! He is quiet in his kennel with very few accidents.  He is getting the hang of potty training - thank you neuter! - and does well when taken out on a schedule.  This will need to be continued in his forever home, but he is well on his way to getting that down!  He does great with other dogs and really takes cues on how to play and be a real dog from them.  While he does not require another pup in his home, he sure would love it.  Time playing at a dog park or doggie daycare would also be great options for this social butterfly.  A fenced in yard is also not required, but leash training would need to continue being worked on in his forever, as that is a new concept to him!
Pierre has met older kids and done well, but has not met toddlers or younger. It is assumed his happy nature would do well with them, but would need to meet, if you have younger kids.  Same for those kitty cats!  Given his age, a basic obedience class is highly encouraged not only to bond with Pierre, but also to teach him all the skills needed to continue being a well mannered little man!





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.
