If you’ve ever dreamed of having a big, squishy best friend whose greatest goal in life is to love you, meet Porkchop! This handsome English Bulldog is equal parts cuddle bug, road trip enthusiast, and oversized teddy bear.
Porkchop is the kind of dog who makes himself at home in your heart almost instantly. His favorite place is right next to his people, soaking up belly rubs, head scratches, and every ounce of affection you’re willing to give. Whether he’s curled up beside you on the couch, snoozing in bed until he decides his own dog bed sounds even comfier, or leaving behind the unmistakable bulldog-shaped impression on the couch while you’re away, this sweet boy knows how to relax.
One of Porkchop’s greatest joys in life is going for a car ride. Roll the windows down, and he’ll happily stick his whole front half into the breeze with the biggest grin on his face. If your weekends involve scenic drives, lake days, or cruising with the windows down, Porkchop is already packed and ready to ride shotgun.
In his foster home, Porkchop has been wonderful with the resident dogs and settles nicely when left loose in the house. He’s playful when the mood strikes but is just as content chewing on a favorite bone, carrying around a toy, or simply hanging out with his family. He’s a gentle soul who wants nothing more than to be included in whatever you’re doing.
Like many young dogs, Porkchop is still learning. He can get so excited to meet people that he may jump up to say hello, and because he loves being with his humans, he can be vocal if he’s left behind while you’re home or asked to spend time in a kennel. With patience, consistency, and continued training, his foster believes he’ll continue growing into an even more confident, well-mannered companion.
Porkchop would thrive with a family looking for a loyal sidekick who enjoys equal parts adventure and relaxation. If you’re searching for a Bulldog with a heart as big as his adorable blocky head, Porkchop is ready to fill your home with laughter, cuddles, and plenty of unforgettable rides with the windows down.
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.
