About

Meet Lulu

GUESS WHAT? I am going to be at Chuck & Don's Eden Prairie, (8022 Den Rd, Eden Prairie, MN 55344) for an Adoption Event on Sunday, October 27th 11:00 am-1:00 pm!!! Come and see me there.  Please email [email protected] for questions regarding the dogs.   Hi! My name is Lulu and I am a sweet little meatball that made my way up to Minnesota from Texas with my sister! I am about 7 years old and have the heart of an angel, and an old soul! Since arriving here, I have been so excited to spend time with my foster family whether that is hanging out outside, going for walks or snuggling on the couch. Snuggles are my FAVORITE thing in the whole world! If I could lay, belly up directly on you, that is my ideal nap position! Along with naps does come my snoring! It can be loud but mostly I am told it's adorable! I am a big fan of every toy I can get my hands on. I love to chase them and play tug of war! I always have the best intentions with playtime but get a little over excited sometimes! I may need some help working on how excited I get but I LOVE food so training will be a breeze! I have spent a lot of time with my dog foster siblings and some new friends I have made and have been great with everyone. A slow introduction is best for me since I can get overly excited and be a little much at first. As soon as the initial excitement wears off, I am happy with everyone! I also have two kitty foster siblings and have been nothing but polite to them always! I have been perfect with pottying outside and have not had a single accident in the house. I also am great in my crate! I go in without an issue (my foster mom gives me a treat when I do go in) and am totally silent when I am around my foster siblings. I sometimes even go in my crate to nap! My ideal home would be a family that wants to love me 24/7! I love pets, snuggles, attention and following my foster mom around the house. I do not require a lot of exercise but I love short walks and playing. If you are looking for a snuggle buddy full of love, I am your girl!   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. * **Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***

Adoption Process
Our process for adoption is: 1. Potential applicant searches our available dogs and/or cats listings and completes an adoption application. 2. Our staff reviews the application and puts you in contact with the foster volunteer of the pet your interested in. 3. The foster volunteer coordinates a “meet and greet” with you and any other members of your household. 4. If the foster and adopter agree the pet is a good fit, a home visit will be scheduled. Upon completion of a successful home visit, you will complete and sign our adoption contract, pay the fee, and take home your new pet!
