Brownie

Brownie is a handsome French Bulldog with a heart as big as his adorable face. This sweet boy has settled beautifully into foster life and quickly proven himself to be the ultimate companion. Brownie is a true velcro dog who loves being close to his people and will happily follow them from room to room just to stay near. When he’s not keeping his humans company, you’ll likely find him curled up on the couch for a cuddle or stretched out in a warm sunny spot enjoying a nap. Brownie has wonderful manners and an easygoing personality that makes him a joy to have around. He rides great in the car, walks nicely on a leash, and does well in his kennel at night without making a peep. He’s fully potty trained and goes outside for all of his bathroom needs. Brownie has only been kenneled for about four hours at a time, so he would do best in a home that can offer him plenty of time, attention, and affection—because being with his people is truly his favorite thing. This friendly boy greets new people with pure excitement and enthusiasm. In the mornings or when his people return home, Brownie can get a little extra excited and may bark and jump (he definitely has springs in those little legs!), but he’s already learning the “down” command and is eager to please. He knows several basic commands including sit, stay, and come, and enjoys continuing to learn. Brownie gets along well with other dogs and currently lives with two other French Bulldogs. He’s just beginning to learn how to play and does a great job politely taking breaks when he’s had enough. He enjoys toys, happily accepts any treats offered, and especially loves chewing on bones. With his affectionate nature, goofy personality, and playful spirit, Brownie is truly one of the sweetest dogs you could meet. He’s not only incredibly handsome—he’s loving, kind, and ready to bring joy to a lucky forever home. 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, pugs, and Boston terriers, Brussels Griffons, Pekingese and others 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 this breed is a good fit for you and your family.  It is estimated that the average brachycephalic breed owner spends $2,000 per year on medical needs. In addition to other surgeries, this dog may have had surgery on their nares and soft palate to improve the quality of their breathing.  This will be partially reflected within her adoption fee. These breeds are one of the most expensive dogs to own, maintain, and rescue and our adoption fees reflect such expenses.  The application process for these breeds 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 a separate application and 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. This dog requires a Bulldog Application.  All 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.
