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!”

“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.”

“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

Introducing ✨Mabel✨

Name origin: Latin fr. amabilis: lovable; dear

Mabel is true to her namesake. Just shy of 5 months old, she is a true velcro baby that loves to be near. She is a smart girl that is very treat/food motivated. Still shy and timid in new places, she is working on building confidence and will need a calm presence that uses positive and rewarding training techniques. She was in a small, rural shelter as wee one and so does have some anxiety that stems from a stressful situation. Despite her rough beginnings, she is progressing so beautifully!

Mabel knows her name and will make eye contact with its use. She has perfected "sit" and even knows without prompt to sit at the proper times. She is doing great with practicing to "settle" or wait before digging into her meals, and with going out an open door and waiting for the "okay" to go. She is crate trained. She is working on potty training and on leash manners. She has picked up quite quickly on the daily flow and this sweet girl has no real interest in going on a walk when she knows that couch snuggles come after the walk. Exercise is totally overrated for this kiddo. Lots of chew toys and stuffies are a necessity for this teething girl. She does great with other dogs (but still needs learning on proper introductions and dog manners). She is being fostered with two confident and non fearful cats. Mabel is respectful when the cats are giving a boundary but is excited when they want to play.

Mabel is UTD on her immunizations and preventatives. She is currently being fostered in North Carolina and can transport along the East Coast as far North as Maine to her adoptive home. 🏠

Brook, our tri-colored beauty, is here to tell you it's Giving Tuesday!

Can you lend a paw? 🐾

Beautiful Brook was found stray in Western North Carolina with a broken leg. We knew Brook's care would be expensive, but we also knew she deserved a chance!

We are still paying off the bills for Brook's veterinary care and are asking for donations of any size today. Help us start 2025 as strong 💪 as Brook is now that she has healed with Underhound Railroad's help! ❤

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ❤

Hiking first aid for your four-legged companion
