Blossom joined Lucky Bulldogs after being retired from the commercial dog breeding industry. She is curious and playful and loves to be involved in whatever activity foster family is doing. She lovingly “helped” put up the Christmas tree by picking out lights and generously locating any loose ornaments. She is receptive to redirection and maintains her happy composure when told ‘no’ if something isn’t safe for her. She asks for lovin’s by “pawing” and has a tendency to jump on legs to seek attention. If she feels ignored Blossom will promptly tug on your blanket or grab your slipper in the most adorable attempt for a reaction. Her coat is soft and she sheds very little. She is perfectly content on her doggie bed chewing on toys and tolerates her kennel quietly. Since she hasn’t had much exposure to toys prior to this; she thinks anything she finds is pretty neat! She will need some guidance determining what is a toy and what is unsafe for her.
Blossom is a little overweight due to previously being free-fed, so diet management will be important. Her currently exercise regimen consists of short strolls around the block and does well on a harness. Blossom has the cutest little snorts and recently had nare surgery to help with her breathing. She loves to be held and has recently started initiating play with her foster brother. It has been an absolute joy watching her “blossom!”
While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted. Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above. Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications. All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes. Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters. Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.
We typically will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks, but we do notify all applicants of the outcome.
