London

The rescue’s notes on London

London is a lovely gentle giant with an even bigger heart. At 102 pounds, she is all about love, comfort, and keeping watch over her home. She spends her days lounging on a big dog bed, soaking up time outside in the yard, and proudly standing guard at the fence. London absolutely adores her people, happily flopping over for belly rubs and nudging your hand for more scratches. She is social, affectionate, and easy to love. London has done well with other dog-friendly dogs and would likely enjoy a canine companion in her future home, but she also has plenty of love to give as the only dog as long as her people are home often. She is fully potty trained (outside only) and crates beautifully with no issues and she also knows commands like come, stay, crate/kennel, and outside. She loves bully sticks and other chews, which are some of her favorite ways to relax. London does like to bark at passing cars, but she is otherwise a sweet, steady girl who has no concerning reaction to people or other dogs. She recently did very well at the vet, and although she was muzzled for her exam due to hip discomfort, she handled it beautifully without any fuss. Because London has chronic hip dysplasia and significant joint issues, she will need lifelong pain management to keep her comfortable. She will also need a home with a fenced grass yard, since hard surfaces and long walks on cement are not ideal for her mobility. Even with those needs, London is a happy, loving, social dog who still has so much joy to give. London is the kind of dog who will fill your home with love, loyalty, and a calm, comforting presence. 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. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
