English Bulldog puppies and dogs in Bloomington, Minnesota

A portion of Nini's adoption fee has been sponsored by her friends at The Murray Fund. The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $325.00 will be applied during the contract process Hi, my name is Nini! History: Owner Surrender From the Foster: Hi, I'm Nini but my foster family calls me Nellie. Please read my whole bio before applying for me. I know I'm cute but I've got some specific needs for my forever home. I'm a young old English Bulldog and I'm special needs. I've been with my foster family for several months. I have several special needs my foster Mom will list them below. I'm here to talk about the fun stuff! I'm squishy, I'm cute, I love basically everyone and everything! I didn't learn bite inhibition as a young pup so I can be rough when I'm mouthy and playing but I redirect to a toy easily and play gentle for the most part. I love to be outside in all seasons! Nothing is better than being outside rolling on the ground! My doggy foster siblings are my rock they keep me stimulated with my limitations and I would really benefit from a tolerant playful pup friend. I am crate trained to a playpen and need to sleep in my special bed naked (see below). I'm quiet and sleep all night peacefully but it's best not to have me in your bedroom as it's occasionally a stinky affair. I love to snuggle with my people and getting scratchies is the best! I don't have typical basic training but I have my own version of most basic training. I have lots of needs for my forever home so please read what my Mom writes about my needs! From my foster mom: Nellie has several chronic medical conditions including: suspected spina bifida resulting in little use of her rear limbs total incontinence of bladder and bowels frequent UTIs potential elongation of soft pallet resulting in regurgitation of water and a fragile/chronic wound of her anus. Let me explain what that means for a home. Nellie needs someone home more often than not she needs very frequent diaper changes (currently every 4-6hr but can go up to 8 occasionally) she needs to sleep naked to let her skin breath which means the potential for lots of dirty laundry and cleaning she is currently staying clean overnight but it can change if she gets an upset belly. She needs someone who can handle expressing her urine and feces (I will teach you how to do this) and isn't squeamish around bodily fluids or wounds I promise it isn't as scary as it sounds. Her people need to be able to lift/carry Nellie (40lb). She needs a home with minimal/no stairs and preferably another playful and tolerant pup to keep her stimulated (not required just preferred we will chat about other stimulation methods if no other dogs and she wouldn't mind being the center of attention!) No really small children - Nellie can be mouthy when she plays and she is prone to spinal injuries which could result in loss of what mobility she has is her rear legs. Nellie also needs a family who is very financially secure as she will be a more expensive dog. From gathering supplies needed to bring her home to frequent vet visits she will cost more than your average dog. I will send a list of our favorite products for Nellie but you can get creative on your own too. This will not be a very quick adoption there is a lot to learn and several visits can be made to get to know Nellie and comfortable with all her needs. Nellie is extra work but she is SO worth it she is a sweet little wrinkle butt and she gives her whole heart to her people and she radiates the love and gratefulness to her caretakers and a bond unlike any other forms that makes the extra care seem like nothing. If you've made it this far and think you have a home for Nellie fill out an app to discuss her with us! Through the course of my veterinary care at Secondhand Hounds it was found that I most likely have spina bifida which causes secondary fecal and urine incontinence and I do wear diapers for this. I was also diagnosed with masticatory muscle myositis (MMM) which is an immune system disorder that causes difficulty opening and closing the jaw muscles involved with chewing. I was treated with steroids for this and I have responded very well to them!

Invisible/ underground fencing is not recommended for most rescue dogs. Hi – my name is Amy and I am the bestest girl who cannot wait to have a home and a family of my own. I am told I am very sweet and do love to snuggle my people – even better on the couch! My hobbies include cuddling and snoozing near my people. I have a favorite spot on the couch and have perfected the skill of getting comfy. I do like to go for walks, but hey, I am a pretty bulldog girl and marathons are not my thing (once around the block will do!). I have great leash manners, but beware I can pull when I get excited and am a very strong girl! I also get super excited to sniff at other dogs I see and may just bark (and I have a loud one!) to let them know. I do great at the dog park and am learning how to play with the other dogs. When we visit the neighborhood brewery, I am a very good girl and let my people know when I need to “tap” out and get back to my comfy spot on the couch. While I get along with most dogs, sometimes I need a slow introduction, so being an only dog and the center of attention would be fine with me. I would actually prefer being an only dog so I can get all the attention I deserve! I have lived with other dogs my whole life, but recently am getting crabbier with them.   I am completely housetrained and earned more than one compliment on how good I am at waiting to go outside (I can wait all day!). And when I need to, I will just go the door and let you know (remember that bark of mine? You can’t miss me!). I do like being out in the yard - the kids in my foster home like to play fetch with me - I am amazing! We are also learning how to run through the sprinkler, but my short legs impede me from jumping so I prefer to just play with water from the hose.  Like all bullies, I am a good eater and my forever family will have to keep an eye on my diet so I stay at a healthy weight and avoid typical skin, ear and eye issues. In true bulldog form, I have some allergies and currently have a spot on my neck that can be itchy. I’m on a raw food and kibble diet and cytopoint injections have really helped and I am improving. My allergy treatments will probably need to continue and I would love to continue a raw diet to avoid skin issues. My ideal forever home would have experience with dogs that have allergies and/or bulldog experience. I do bark when left home alone or put in a crate – so it would be great if my people could be home a lot and if I lived somewhere without shared walls. Since I am an “in and out” kinda girl, a fence is great, but going out on a leash works too. I like treats and LOVE chewing on bones – hopefully my forever home has some tasty bones for me – hint hint. Oh, and beware, on occasion I have been know to do some drooling, but a few good wipes of my pretty face and I am good to go! My foster family says that I am the most snuggly and sweet girl and are excited for me to find my forever family. I can’t wait to meet 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. 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.  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?

I am pretty proud of myself!  I’ve come a long way since I first came here and I’ve learned so much thanks to the other dogs in my foster home, so I do require a social and confident dog in my forever home. That will help me gain confidence, get on a routine and learn all the important dog things! It does take me a while to warm up to both people and new dogs, but once I do, I am less afraid. My people are working with me on my dog skills. We started practicing walking on a leash and I freeze! But if you promise to keep practicing with me, I don’t need a fenced yard in my forever home. I am hoping you have patience while we both learn what works best for me and you. We are also working on my potty skills. I know I supposed to go outside but get a little worried, so foster mom carries me out the door and sometimes has to carry me back inside. Sometimes I get worried and do a little tinkle inside the house when I’m excited, this includes little accidents in the kennel too. I am trying my best to be brave, and I know in a calm home and full of patience we can practice together.   Everyday I am blossoming a bit more – I recently started showing interest in dog toys and foster mom was so excited! I have also started to wander around the house and not hide in my kennel. Foster mom used to have to coax me to into other areas of the house, but I am gaining some confidence by following the other dogs around. I am a timid but happy girl and would thrive in a home that has the patience to help me learn how to be the best dog I can be. My ideal forever home will be able to provide a safe space for me, has experience with shy dogs and loads of unconditional love! It may take a while, but I promise if you try your best I will too!

Due to unforeseen circumstances in our household, it has become evident that our beloved bulldog Baloo, is experiencing aggression issues and has been engaging in fights with our other dog. We have tried our best to address this behavior through extensive training— Baloo, as well as our other dog, have successfully completed a 12- week obedience training at Neuman K-9 Academy. Despite our efforts, we have concluded that the best course of action for Baloo's happiness is to find a new home for him in a single pet household. We believe that in such an environment, he will be able to thrive and be set up for success in the long run. Baloo responds well to commands and is a GREAT dog when given one-on-one attention-- he is house, kennel, and leash trained, and is very friendly with people! He will be your shadow everywhere you go! Baloo is a 2 year old, neutered, full bread English bulldog
