American Bulldog puppies and dogs in Northfield, Minnesota

WANTED - A family of my very own. Gomer here! I am also affectionately called Gomey, Goober, and Goofball just to name a few. I have been told I have the best personality to go along with my overall handsomeness. If you like having fun, and by fun I mean adventurous walks, unlimited treats, and boundless chew toys...then I want to meet you! Also, do you have a couch? This is what the volunteers & staff want to share about me:Gomer is EXTRAORDINARY! Why he hasn't found his forever home yet is just unbelievable. Don't let his age fool you Gomer loves life, and he has more energy than other dogs half his age. His list of "loves" is long, but all he really wants is a family to call his own and well...a COUCH and he will be a very happy boy! Gomer loves going on walks, and he will walk in rain or shine. He doesn't know he's a senior and we're not going to tell him. Another of his loves is FOOD. Gomer believes everything should be celebrated with food. During his walks he will sit and wait until he has been "awarded" a treat before continuing on. You guessed it, he hasn't met a treat he doesn't like! On walks he sometimes enjoys eating a little grass or chewing on a stick and if there is snow to taste, well he enjoys eating that too. Another of Gomer's loves is the KIDDIE POOL. Summers are not complete without frequent "swim sessions." He isn't actually "swimming" as much as he is "soaking" but again, we're not going to tell him. And on hot summer days he does love a good soak in whatever water is left that he hasn't lapped up! CHEW TOYS are also on his "why go through life without it list!" Can you guess? Yep, he hasn't met a boring toy yet either! He will sit happily by your side hopefully on a comfy sofa, while getting pet and chewing on whatever toy is close by. Gomer is super fun to walk and a dream on leash. He does well on group walks with other dogs but would do best in a home where he is the only pet. He has lived in a home with older respectful children and was good with them too. We long for Gomer to spend his remaining years knowing the comforts of a loving home. For his days to be filled with constant companionship and love. Somehow Gomer has figured out that we have been given this one life and he isn't wasting a second of it. So, if you think you have what it takes to foster or adopt a fun-loving active senior... RUN, don't walk to meet Gomer! (Note: Only homes with a couch need apply.)

Hi I'm Pup Tart I came to SHH as a newborn! From the foster: Pup Tart came into rescue with her siblings as an orphan newborn. Due to this Pup Tart did miss out on learning some important puppy lessons from her mom - Pup Tart would benefit from an adoptive home with a social friendly resident dog and a home that is up to continuing to help her socialize with people, other animals, and set up with critical puppy training. Hi! I'm Pup Tart and I am looking for my furever home! I came in to rescue as a tiny puppy with my siblings, but I seemed to have some urinary struggles as I was getting older. After my first appointment at the SHH Vet, the determined that the most likely cause for my struggles with my UTI most likely stemmed from a severely recessed vulva. The treatment plan for this was to use an antibiotic ointment on me for now to help prevent the infections. My medical care plan recommendation is that SHH Vet Center and my adopters wait until I have gone through my first heat cycle to be spayed. At the time of my spay the vet will determine if a vulvoplasty surgery will be necessary to help me maintain a good level of urinary health later in life. Both the spay procedure and +/- the vulvolplasty will be covered by SHH and any other care after adoption would be the responsibility of my new family. There will be an additional $500 deposit in addition to my adoption. This deposit will be fully refunded after I complete my spay procedure!

Hi I'm Ducati aka Dewey. I was surrendered to SHH at birth due to my cleft palate. When I receive application SHH will send additional information about my cleft - please make sure to read it thoroughly as it has lots of information you will need to know! From the foster: We call him Dewey. He loves to be with you all the time he fallows me around the house and loves to snuggle. He is a bit mouthy and loves to play with toys. Food is very important to him so training is easy. He is not potty trained but we take him out when we can and he goes. He loves to play with my puppy Sunny (Lab cleft palate) He is so easy to fall in love with. He's got a cute Crocked tail that he wags like a little hook. *I may look like a French Bulldog and likely have some of that breed in me but I'm actually something called an Exotic American Bully! I will likely stay fairly small and squat!*

May our days be snuggly and bright together!Hello! I am Mabel!Oh My Goodness it is Sweater Season! I love cozy sweaters! It seems to make the humans happy too. People are often surprised by my “perfect size”. They say I am a medium sized girl, about 40 pounds.I am currently living with my foster family. They have two kids (ages 11 and 8). I really like watching kids, but I prefer a calmer home. Older kids and adults are my jam. Loud noises and fast movements tend to startle me. I enjoy sitting back and watching the world. This helps me to know my environment and what is expected of me. I am slow to make dog friends. I don’t really enjoy being around other dogs in public or social settings. I do have a dog friend here at my foster home. He has become my favorite friend. His friendship has helped me to understand that I can be friends with other dogs, I am just selective. I prefer dogs that will give me my space and let me adjust to having them around. Slow introductions have worked best.I really love toys! Anything that I can chew on, squeak, chase after and especially ones that I can defluff. The humans here say I am an expert at defluffing toys! Sunshine is one of my most favorite things. I could lay in the sun all day. In fact, I require a sunny spot to soak up the sun, both inside and outside. I do well with a routine. I am housetrained. I will go in my kennel/crate if you prefer. I am not often kenneled here, but I do well when I am. I have been working hard with my training. I even know a few tricks! I will only show them off if I am going to get treats though. I enjoy walks. I especially love the kind of walks where I get to sniff everything. It helps me relax and unwind after a long day of laying in the sunshine. I will go potty on a leash, but I prefer a fenced yard to patrol. I know my people are out there looking for me. I hope to meet them soon!Love,Mabel""I'll Be Home for Christmas"" Adoption Extravaganza!For Applications received through 12//31/2023, Warrior Dog Rescue is taking $200 off of the adoption fee of dogs who have been waiting just like Rudolph did for their time to shine.

On the fur-st day of Christmas, my new home came to me!Hi there everyone, my name is Feather! I am a “lean, not so mean, loving machine”, or at least that is what my foster humans tell me. They also tell me my name is feather because I am so light-hearted, it has nothing to do with my size obviously ☺. I have these cute short legs, and a head like a bowling ball, and I weigh a muscular eighty-five pounds. My tail never stops wagging as I follow you around, waiting for you to give me something to chew on, or to stop what you’re doing and give me some love. Sometimes you may find me napping in the sun or cuddling with one of the little humans or resident dogs (hopefully in the sun). I love chewing on toys, bones, and balls. So, I hope you don’t mind cleaning up after me because shredding toys is my favorite thing to do. I am kennel/crate trained and will go there on command, but I usually want a treat for doing this. I stay in there when my humans are gone and sleep through the night with no problems. I have only had a couple of accidents since I have been here, but to be fair it turns out I have a weak bladder and I must take a pill a couple of times a day to help me hold it. Otherwise, I am house trained. I also get along well with other dogs so long as we have a proper introduction, and they are not too much in my face/personnel space or have issues with having dominant dogs around them. I have a K-9 foster brother and sister (they are boxers) here at the house and we do pretty well around each other. We don’t play much but we respect each other’s space and enjoy each other’s company. That being said, I can share toys as long as the other does not want to mine or fight about it. I also have two fun younger humans that are very loving on me and are not loud and crazy. I love to run around in the yard and be silly, so a fenced yard would be best, but don't worry, I LOVE walks too. Though, I do prefer the company of my humans when I’m out in the yard. I’ve learned to just lie down and soak up the sunshine on the patio or chew on my toys. Myself and both the resident pups have started to play and goof around a bit more now, but nothing too crazy. Car rides are always a bonus, and they tell me that I ride well. I will probably just lay down on one of the seats or the floor unless snuggles are an option, then I choose that. I get excited when my humans go to the door or get out the leashes. Walks are the best thing in the world (in case you didn’t know), although I am still learning to walk without pulling. My foster human says I am getting better, but I think it is because they started using a gentle leader. He also says that when we are walking, I am a good teacher of patience and deep breaths (especially if there are squirrels and rabbits around). The things I need most are, lots of chew toys (duh), a dominant master(s) who will be willing to set boundaries to help direct me to be the best that I can be, and if there are kids and or dogs the kids should not be hyper, and the dogs must be able to respect me being the one who chooses which bones/toys are mine and yours. The last thing I want to tell you about myself is that I have been trained in both Spanish and English, how cool is that? Now that I have told you about me it is up to you to decide if you are the confident, strong, patient, and loving family that I need in my life.""I'll Be Home for Christmas"" Adoption Extravaganza!For Applications received through 12//31/2023, Warrior Dog Rescue is taking $200 off of the adoption fee of dogs who have been waiting just like Rudolph did for their time to shine.

Hello, my name is Sir Mix A Lot and I’m an incredibly handsome, quiet, & easy-going young adult Bulldog who loves to snuggle! The truth is, I’m generally a lazy guy around house but I love to meet new people, go on adventures to new places, nap with my head on a knee, cuddle with my people, and I LOVE playing fetch with sturdy balls that I won’t obliterate in 10 seconds! Hee, hee!! In fact, I’m so obsessed with playing fetch that sometimes foster mom hides the balls from me. LOL!! I am good with kids, other dogs, and dog-savvy cats; I am potty, crate, & leash trained, and I know commands like “sit”, “come”, and “kennel/crate” so you can see I’m an intelligent boy!

Are you ready to fall in love because I am one incredibly sweet little guy who will steal your heart in no time! I promise I will love you bigger than the universe! Love, Sir Mix A Lot *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 adopters 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.   ***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. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend.  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. We recommend filling out an application and we will set 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, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience.  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.
