French Bulldog puppies and dogs in Hugo, Minnesota

History: Petey is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon! A Note from the Foster: Personality: Gentle • Affectionate • Independent Special Moves: If we make eye contact, I’m coming to you, The Poop Dance ❤️ Why You’ll Fall in Love With Petey Petey is pure sweetness wrapped in a squishy face and equipped with the biggest, saddest, puppy-dog eyes you’ve ever seen. He is immediately affectionate of newcomers, and does not take long to adjust to new surroundings. Once introduced to his surroundings, he is extremely self-sufficient. Petey is not a big complainer and rarely makes a fuss. 🏡 Around the House Petey LOVES affection—gentle pets, silly dog-talk, goofy face rubs, and even a little roughhousing. He’s incredibly tolerant and takes love in all its forms. His motto: “All affection is good affection.” Petey is a lover. He is happy to see you. For someone looking for easy companionship, Petey is a phenomenal fit. Petey is quiet. Yes, he might quietly snore a bit, but his foster has yet to hear him bark. He is unbothered by city noises and sleeps solidly for naps and through the night. He communicates plenty through wiggly excitement, soulful looks, and spontaneous snort-symphonies. Loves good scratches at the base of his tail and neck. Petey needs a bit of regular grooming, especially around his adorable face folds. He’s extremely cooperative—even if he wiggle-worms his face away like “sir please, why must we do this?”—but never growls or gets grumpy. He is easy to bathe and does not put up a fight. He is prone to getting cold, so a sweater on cold fall/winter/spring days is a must! Petey wants to be near his people; he’s sweetly affectionate without being clingy. He’s content to lounge in his open kennel with a blanket. He does not chew household items (bonus!). But he does enjoy sticks, toys, and gently tugging on towels/ropes. Petey prefers to be the only dog in the household, where he can give his full love to his parents and receive all the love back. Petey is working on not marking indoors and has already made great progress! He seems to be less territorial when he is the only dog in the home, but he’s also totally comfortable wearing a belly band throughout the day. 🚶 Mobility & Style He’s a follower through and through. Wherever you lead, he will be closely in tow. Petey travels well. Once in the car, he's silent, peaceful, and calm. No pacing, no whining. 🧠 Personality Highlights Sweetest boy you’ll ever meet Loves friendly humans more than anything Never barks, never whines Snorts like a piggy Accepts infinite pets Easy traveler, easy bather, easy to love Independent Sensitive, gentle, tolerant Zero aggression, big sweetie 🏆 Who Should Adopt Petey? Someone who wants: ✔ A calm, snuggly companion ✔ A low-drama, high-charm dog ✔ A little guy who follows your lead ✔ A pet who loves attention but doesn’t demand constant cuddles ✔ A hilariously snorty sweetheart ✔ Someone willing to keep up with his breed-specific grooming If you're looking for a dog who is equal partsaffection, comedy, and gentle soul, Petey is your guy.

History: Darla is a super beautiful girl who was recently welcomed to rescue and will warm your heart with her smile and happy personality. She has her paws crossed to find her forever home soon! A Note from the Foster: Hi! I’m Darla and I started my life making babies and now that I’m retired I’m ready to be your snuggly little potato! I love spending time looking out the windows, laying by your feet as you cook or watch tv and playing with my stuffies! I am working on potty training and making progress. I’m relaxed when I see other dogs on walks, could probably live with other dogs or cats (although this hasn’t been tested since I’ve come to rescue). I am a fairly quiet pup- although I will alert you if someone is walking by just to let you know. I am comfortable sleeping in my crate at night and when you go to work and never complain when it’s time to go in. I am very gentle on a leash and would love a backyard, but definitely don’t need one. My shortie legs make stairs difficult so if you adopt me I require someone who can carry my petite 25lbs up and down stairs. My foster mom calls me Darling Darla and is super confident you’d love me to pieces!

Meet Yvette! 🤍🐾 This stunning cream French Bulldog is about 1 year old and weighs 20 pounds. She was released to us by someone who knew a breeder who no longer wanted her — but that’s her lucky break, because now she’s on her way to a much better life. Yvette is incredibly sweet and friendly, and she gets along great with other dogs. Her gentle nature and happy personality make her a joy to be around. She’s ready to leave her past behind and find a loving forever home where she’ll finally be cherished. If you’ve been dreaming of a sweet, social Frenchie to adore… Yvette is your girl.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.    Meet Scooter, a quirky, snuggly little goofball with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This French Bulldog mix is full of love, energy, and opinions. At about 30 pounds, he's the perfect size for lap cuddles—which just happen to be one of his favorite things in the world. Belly rubs? Yes, please. Ice cubes? Delicious. Chasing the hose? Pure joy. He’s got a playful streak a mile wide and adores games like tug-of-war, keep-away, and wrestling with trusted dog friends. But let’s be real—Scooter is not your average, easygoing pup. He’s had a rough go somewhere along the line, and he’s working hard to feel safe in the world. He has a few non-negotiables: he needs time to build trust, doesn’t like chaos, and absolutely does not want anyone messing with his ears unless you're in the inner circle. Men make him nervous, and he's not a fan of being left alone too long. Scooter is also very food-motivated—which can be both a training superpower and a trigger for resource guarding, especially around other dogs.  Scooter does best being fed in a separate area, if dogs reside in the home.   Scooter can and will lunge or bite if he feels overwhelmed or scared. He’s made huge progress in foster care, but he needs a calm, confident human who will continue that journey with patience, structure, and maybe even a good trainer in their corner. He’s not crate-trained (he finds crates stressful), and he’s not suited for homes with kids or lots of commotion. A fenced yard is a must—he needs space to run and decompress. Here’s the flip side: once you’re “his person,” Scooter will love you with his whole goofy heart. He’s affectionate, loyal, and eager to please. He’s smart and knows commands like sit, down, leave it, and “go potty.” He’s house-trained and walks well on leash. He loves toys, attention, and being part of the action—as long as it’s not too much action. Scooter isn’t for everyone, but if you’re someone who sees the beauty in helping a misunderstood dog bloom, Scooter might be your perfect project-turned-best-friend. He’ll make you laugh, keep you company, and love you fiercely. And that, friends, is a pretty special kind of magic. 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*** 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.

Thank you for stopping by to see me!  Please fill out an application to set up  a private meeting.    Hi, I’m Brussels, a quirky little cuddle bug! I’m an almost 2-year-old male French Bulldog, weighing in at a compact 20 pounds. I might be small, but I’ve got a big, silly personality waiting to shine once I feel comfortable with my people.  I am a little ball of energy, and I love everyone I meet.  I am playful and curious, and I LOVE balls—like seriously love.  They are my absolute favorite—and I’m always up for a game of fetch. I hope your throwing arm is ready!!  So long as I have options around, I keep myself busy and don't get in too much trouble.  Ropes and bones are great too.  One thing I should share is that my tummy has issues.  The dogtor says I have IBS.  I don't really know what that means, but I do know that I need to be kept very strictly on a specific prescription food, and I cannot have any doggo treats or hooman food-like none at all.  So long as I am kept only on my prescribed food I do well.  But, if I have anything other than that, we will both be sorry!  My poor belly just does not work with other food or teats, and you and I both will be in icky poo situations which is no fun.   I’m still learning the ropes of potty training and crate time. Right now, I make sure you know how I feel when I’m in my crate (loudly!) and sometimes have accidents in it, so I’ll need a patient family to help me keep learning.  Because of my wide-set eyes and strabismus (cross eyed), my vision isn’t the best.  But I just take it at my own pace, and I do just fine.  I have even learned how to do stairs!  Isn't that pawmazing???   While I do love other doggos, I tend to look at kitties as moving snacks so it's probably best for us both if my furever home does not have any kitties.   But since I love other doggos I am really hoping to find a brother or sister to be around.  I feel much braver and happier with a furry friend around so that's my hope.  If you hoomans are home all the time I could possibly be your one and only too.   Overwhelming commotion can also scare me, so I’ll thrive in a calm and structured environment. A fenced yard is a must since I’m not leash-trained yet and can be a bit of a flight risk when I feel scared.     I’m still learning to seek affection, but I’ve started to enjoy snuggling with my person on the couch or floor. My fur is SO soft—you’ll definitely want to cuddle me once I’m ready!   If you have patience, love, and a dog friend for me to bond with, I promise to be your sweetest, quirkiest little companion. Let’s meet soon—I’m ready to share my unique charm with 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.

This handsome fellow is equal parts snuggle buddy, walking companion, and professional house observer (he likes to keep an eye on everything you’re doing… just in case you need help). Mousse is a friendly, happy guy who loves to be part of the family action. He’s affectionate, goofy, and asks for plenty of pets — and yes, he enjoys being picked up like the little loaf of love he is. When his humans come home, he puts on a full-blown welcome parade complete with wiggles, tail wags, and excited barks to make sure you know just how thrilled he is to see you. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, and has solid manners — though he’s also smart enough to test if you really mean “leave it.” He enjoys walks (using a Frenchie-approved harness, of course), car rides, and has recently discovered the joy of toys now that he can breathe easier after surgery. His absolute favorite thing is spending time with his people — he just wants to be included in whatever you’re doing. Mousse gets along with some dogs, but he's a choosy fellow - not just anyone can be in his friend club! Due to his selectivity, Mousse would be best as an only dog where he can have all the lovins to himself.  He’s currently trying to sort out some itchy-skin mysteries, but that doesn’t slow him down one bit. Because he’s a Frenchie, he’s heat sensitive, so air conditioning and comfy lounging spots are a must. This sweet, snorty little gentleman is apartment appropriate, easy to love, and ready to bring joy and laughter to his forever home. Keep his name — he’s quite proud of it — and get ready for endless affection, silly antics, and a loyal best friend who will never let you forget how special you are.
