You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please check below to see what upcoming adoption events I will be attending or apply here for a private meeting. If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <underdogrescue@petml.com> ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** Please fill out a bulldog application to meet Daryl: https://underdogrescuemn.com/adoptionprocess/bulldogs/ DOB: 03/31/2013 Requires another dog in home: No Okay with dogs of all sizes: Yes Okay with cats: Yes Okay with children under 12 years old: No Requires a fenced yard: No Note: dogs must always be leashed whenever outside of a contained area Hello! My name is Daryl and I am nearly 30lbs of solid muscle, but the strongest muscle in my body is my heart. I love every living creature I've ever met! I like humans (big or small), dogs (big or small), and cats (big or small)! I love all my actual toys too, the squeakier and sillier the better. The BEST ones are the round roly poly kind, hard ones, soft ones, big ones, little ones, bouncy ones, or squishy ones. Toss any of those things away from me, I will return it to you every time with lots of gusto. I also like my beef bones, my pig ears, my bully sticks, yakyCHEWs - anything that keeps me busy but doesn't belong to my hoomans. I am doing well with my crate training and leash training - I am about 80% potty trained on a good schedule. I am looking for a forever home that will work with me on my resource guarding. You see, I LOVE my one human and I will pick them and I will only want that one human. A forever home that has only one human it is what I like best, but I also need someone to take me to some training to work on this for me, as I have been told that someone who is always alone is not always realistic. I do well when visitors come over, but do not understand why I have to live with more than one human and how to share with them. I am 100% the sweetest, best boy to my one person, but I do not understand having to share my person quite yet. Is your heart as big as mine? Do you like to go for long walks in the park? Is your lap big enough for my head? Then let's put these last pieces together to complete our forever puzzle! 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. In addition to normal pre adoption surgeries, Daryl also had surgery on his nares and soft palate to improve the quality of her breathing. This is reflected within his adoption fee. 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. ADOPTION EVENTS: Adoption events are updated as the foster home RSVP's to attend. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. You may wish to consider applying and setting up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved. ADOPTION PROCEDURE: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website: http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/adoptionprocess/ Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN. All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at http://www.underdogrescuemn.com/contact-us/ if you have further questions. FOSTER CARE: All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves. If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website www.underdogrescuemn.com/foster-applications and fill out a foster application. NUTRITION: Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets. All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet. All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal. YOU CAN HELP: Not able to foster or adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring an Underdog.
