Adoption News

Reviews

“Underhound Railroad was exceptional during our entire rescue adoption process. The foster home was wonderful and we were able to get all our questions answered. They went above and beyond to help is find the right rescue to add to our existing family and our current rescue dog. They made sure our home was safe and secure so that when we decided, we were all sure it was the right choice for us. We rescued our girl in December and couldn’t be happier! Thank you for your help adding an amazing new member to our home!”
– Donna

“Penny (now our “little one”, Piccola) came to us after two weeks with her wonderful foster parents. It was a whirlwind romance–we fell for that adorable little pit face the moment we saw her. We don’t want to think too much about what Piccola went through before Underhound Railroad rescued her, took care of her, and brought her our way, but we plan to do everything to make the rest of her life as wonderful as possible. Thank you for stepping in when Piccola needed it! You’re organization is outstanding to work with and doing something exceptional.”

– Ric

“We adopted our dog four years ago through Underhound Railroad. I was able to learn a lot about her from her foster and we were able to see that this dog would be a good match for us. Underhound volunteers take wonderful care of the dogs and pups they bring up from the south to save them from euthanasia. And that includes providing lots of love and patience as well as physical care. I wouldn’t hesitate to adopt another dog from Underhound Railroad.”

– Maryann

“I’ve adopted two wonderful dogs through this agency. They’ve been two of the best companions that I could ever ask for. The volunteers were always a delight to speak with and always putting the best interest of the dog before anything else.”

– Ryan

“Excellent, caring, ethical and well directed rescue. I have fostered dogs for them, evaluated dogs on their behalf in shelters and assisted with pulling those dogs for the rescue, and even adopted one of the dogs I fostered. Highly recommend.”

– Samantha

“Underhound Railroad helped to bring us a wonderful little pup after my husband and I suddenly and unexpectedly lost one of our precious fur babies. Everyone involved worked to hard and quickly to make sure all of the potential adopters and fosters were matched with the perfect Underhound. Our dog has been such a joy for us and if ever we find ourselves looking for another furbaby… Underhound Railroad is going to be the first place we look!”

– Courtney

🦸‍♀️ Super Faline to the rescue! 🎃💨

This tiny superhero is geared up for Halloween and ready to save the day with her cuteness and charm! 💕 She might only be 10 pounds, but she’s got a heart big enough to melt anyone she meets.

Faline’s hoping her superpower helps her find her furever family. The ones she can love, protect, and snuggle with long after the Halloween candy’s gone. 🍬🐾

📍 Fostered in North Carolina with transport available to her adoptive home. 🏠 ... See MoreSee Less

Say hello to Bella! 👋🐾

At 10 years young, this scruffy sweetheart is living proof that age is just a number! Bella has the best mix of gentle and goofy. She still gets bursts of zoomies in the yard, loves her walks, and never turns down a good cuddle session.

She’s fully potty trained, adores car rides and gets along great with other dogs. Most of all, Bella just wants to be close to her people and soak up all the love she can.

She may be a senior, but Bella’s heart is as young as ever and she’s ready to spend her golden years in a home where she’s cherished. 💛

📍 Currently fostered in NC but can transport to her furever family! ... See MoreSee Less

This handsome boy has officially claimed a Squishmallow bed as his throne. It’s his favorite place to nap and dream about his furever family. 👑🐾

Chief is a 5 year old sweetheart who loves his daily walks, car rides, and tagging along wherever his people go. He’s crate and potty trained, sleeps through the night, and has the perfect mix of chill and charm.

If you’re looking for a loyal, goofy, and oh-so-lovable best friend, Chief’s your guy! 💞

📍Chief is currently being fostered in North Carolina and can be transported to his adoptive home.
