Kylian

Description

  If you’re looking for a playful, entertaining companion who will keep you smiling every single day, Kylian may be your perfect match! This handsome young French Bulldog is equal parts goofy, affectionate, and curious, with a personality that’s impossible not to love. Kylian is discovering just how much fun life can be. He absolutely loves playing fetch and could happily chase a ball over and over again. He’s also a big fan of toys, even if he’s still figuring out exactly what to do with some of them! After a burst of zoomies and playtime, he’s more than happy to curl up for a well-earned nap before he’s ready for his next adventure. While Kylian can be a little shy when meeting new people, he doesn’t take long to warm up. Once he trusts you, he’ll happily soak up all the belly rubs, treats, and affection you’re willing to give. He loves being close to his people and has recently mastered jumping onto the couch so he can relax alongside his foster family and canine friends. Kylian is doing very well with potty training and is almost there! As long as he’s taken outside regularly and given a little time, he’s very successful. He’s crate trained, eager to please, and enjoys learning new things. Stairs are still a work in progress, and while he’s not yet a fan of being picked up, he’s making great progress with gentle encouragement. He’s also just beginning his leash training and will need a family committed to helping him build confidence and good walking manners. Because Kylian has a strong prey drive, a securely fenced yard is required. He loves to chase bunnies, squirrels, birds, and anything else that catches his eye, so he should not be placed in a home with pocket pets or other small animals he may fixate on. Kylian gets along well with dog-friendly dogs and would thrive with a family ready to continue building his confidence while embracing his playful spirit. If you’re looking for a loyal, goofy little sidekick who will make you laugh, keep you active, and then snuggle up beside you at the end of the day, Kylian 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. 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.
