About this Dog
Do you want to meet me? I will be at Tavern on France Restaurant, 6740 France Ave. Edina, MN 55435 for an Adoption Event on Thursday, July 24th 5:00-7:00 pm. Please email [email protected] for questions regarding the dogs. Martha is the definition of a velcro dog—she’ll follow you everywhere and has lovingly appointed herself as your personal shadow. This sweet, even-tempered girl just wants to be close to her people. Whether you’re cooking dinner, working from home, or relaxing on the couch, Martha will be right there with you. She’s happiest when cuddling, napping in a sunny spot, roaming around the yard, or being the center of your world. She’s not overly interested in toys, but she lives for affection, soft places to rest, and a calm home where she can truly relax. Martha came from a breeder situation and had never lived in a house before arriving in foster care. Everything was new and a bit scary at first, but she’s come a long way. She’s learned stairs, made great progress with house training, and discovered the simple joy of lounging on the couch. She still needs a consistent routine for potty training and does best when someone is home to keep her on schedule. Martha sleeps well in a crate near her people or in a cozy, confined space. She may bark a bit when alone, so apartment living with shared walls may not be the best fit. She's not leash-trained yet and can freeze when nervous, so a fenced yard is ideal for her outdoor time. While she gets along well with dogs of all sizes and enjoys their company, her real focus is on her humans. She’s also done fine with the foster family’s cat, though she’s very curious and might do best with a dog-savvy feline. She does great with young kids and is gentle and patient with her foster family’s toddler. Martha would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time—working from home, retired, or just homebodies who enjoy a constant companion. She’s not high energy, not demanding, and perfectly content being your cuddle buddy. This girl has been through a lot and is now ready for the soft life she deserves. Martha has a gentle spirit, a big heart, and so much love to give. She’s looking for someone who will give her the comfort, consistency, and companionship she craves. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance best friend who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Martha could be the perfect match. 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. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
Contribute to Martha's Stash!
100% of Martha's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Martha.
Adopt Martha and Receive Martha's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Martha's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Martha's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Martha, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Martha's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Martha was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Martha’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Martha’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Martha’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
