Hello, let me introduce myself. Actually, my mom will be writing this, because I’m kind of shy. Even though the rescue named me, Esmeralda, my foster momma calls me Esme, and I do a great job of coming when she calls to me. In fact, my foster mom tells me that not only am I a stunning Merle lady, and very petite, I’m great at just about everything!
I am doing fantastic on potty training, will go to the door when I need to go outside and do my business like a lady where I’m supposed to, I don’t jump on people, I don’t bark, I love playing with other dogs in the house, I’m enjoying all the doggy toys, and I am doing a great job walking on leash. Because I am shy and still a little afraid of the world, I really do want another small pup in my family that I can play with appropriately (no bullies please, I’m a very gentle and petite little lady).
At first I may be shy, but I will eventually want to snuggle and love you with all my heart! (I will fall asleep in your arms if you scritch my head, or rub my belly, those are my favorites). If you have a lot of time at home to keep me out of those scary kennels, and a gentle loving heart with patience and tenderness, I look forward to meeting you and spending the rest of my life 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 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.
