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

Bruno's not just gazing into your soul. 👀 He is searching for his furever family! 💙 This 4 year old 65lb lovebug is equal parts couch potato, goofball, and pro cuddler. He is house trained, crate trained, loves people and has one floppy ear that refuses to cooperate in the cutest way possible. 😍 Bruno would do best as your one and only, but he is cool with polite doggy friends. He is a big fan of treats, enjoys his toys, and absolutely lives for frozen snacks on a hot day. 🍦

📍 Bruno is being fostered in South Carolina but can travel to his furever home!
💰$300 of his adoption fee is sponsored!
👉 Apply to adopt Bruno at underhoundrailroad.org/adoption-application/ ... See MoreSee Less

You may remember Brook’s brief adventure when she slipped away from her foster mom. Turns out Brook knew exactly where she was going. Brook ran straight into what would become her furever home, immediately started playing with their dog, and never looked back! ☺️ Brook made it clear she had found her people and her found family couldn’t help but fall in love so she is officially part of the family! 🩷

“Brook is doing great. She loves the freedom of being outside—she can run so fast! She and Bummer play hard, and the baby and Brook are so close. Where you find one, you find the other!”

We couldn’t be happier for Brook and her new pack. Sometimes, dogs just know where they belong. Happy tails Brook! 🏠❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

Sun’s out, boba eyes out! ☀️ After a few rainy days in North Carolina, Elle is soaking up every last drop of sunshine. This 8 year old Lab mix is the definition of chill. She's got a heart full of love, a calm soul, and those big, dreamy eyes that remind us of the tapioca pearls in a boba tea. 🧋💛

Elle is available for adoption and looking for her furever home. She’s great with other dogs and loves affection. She’s fostered in NC but can be transported to her furever home.

✨ Ready for a little sunshine in your life? Apply to adopt Elle! 👇

Boomer has made his big trip from North Carolina all the way to Maine and is settling into his new foster home! 🚗💨 We are happy to share that he is doing great and so far, there has been no change in the bone mass on his head. We will continue to keep an eye on it, but things are looking stable for now. ❤️ On this Memorial Day, we are especially thankful for the heroes we honor today, and for all of you who have supported Boomer along the way. ...

Also thanks to his NC family who took Boomer and Birdie in and got them started on their journey and hopefully to their forever homes! ❤️

He is with the best family💗

Boomer is enjoying Maine so far exploring his new surroundings! He has two dog friends at his new foster family - one is kind of bossy and the other one kind of ignores him - but he is learning and getting lots of love and treats from his new people. 🐶❤️
