Meet Cirrus

Do you want to meet me? I will be at Unleashed Hounds and Hops (200 East Lyndale Ave N, Minneapolis, MN 55405), Thursday, May 22nd from 6:00-8:00 pm. Please email [email protected] for questions regarding the dogs. Cirrus is a charming little Frenchton—a delightful mix of French Bulldog and Boston Terrier—with the snuggly heart of a lapdog and just the right amount of goofy playfulness. She’s still young and learning the ropes, but her sweet, docile nature makes her a joy to have around. At home, Cirrus is happy to curl up beside you for a cuddle session or jump into a playful tug-of-war with her foster dog siblings. She’s also great with kids, making her a wonderful fit for a family home.  Her favorite things is wedging herself near things to be extra cozy - access under your bathroom sink while you get ready in the am? She'll find a spot in there to wait for you. Extra few inches between your legs and the side of the couch? She'll nudge her way right on in! Leash walking is still new for Cirrus—when asked to leave the yard, she prefers to channel her inner rock and stay put. Because of this, a fenced yard is essential for her right now, as she continues building confidence and learning to explore the world beyond the backyard. She is crate trained and settles in comfortably, and while she’s still working on potty training, she’s making steady progress. Cirrus enjoys tug toys, squeaky toys, bully sticks, and all the fun a toy box can offer. She gets along well with dogs of all sizes and is likely to be fine with cats, although she hasn’t been officially tested. She’s calm, affectionate, and has a gentle spirit that makes her easy to love. If you're looking for a snuggly, silly, and all-around lovable pup who's ready to grow and learn with you, Cirrus might just be the perfect match. With a bit of patience and a lot of love, she’ll make a wonderful and devoted companion. 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 reed 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 her other surgeries, Cirrusdid have surgery on her nares and soft palate to improve the quality of her breathing.  This is partially reflected within her 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***

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!
