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

Those big brown eye deserve a home of their own. 💛

Elle has been with our rescue since February 2025, and we can’t believe this gentle, loving girl is still waiting. This close up shows exactly who she is: soft, soulful, and full of quiet sweetness. 🫶

Elle is an 8 year old mix breed who loves sunshine, slow walks, and simply being near her people. She’s calm, affectionate, and gets along well with other dogs, but she’d also be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as your one and only.

If you’re looking for a loyal, easygoing companion with the most beautiful brown eyes you’ve ever seen, Elle is ready.

📍 Fostered in North Carolina and available to transport to her furever home. ... See MoreSee Less

It's time for Elle to find her fur-ever home! She looks so adorable! If we didn't already have an over-protective girl, I'd consider adopting her.

Elle was at our shelter and I loved taking care of her. Elle loved going out in the yard and being with people. I pray this sweet girl finds her family ❤️🐾

It’s finally starting to feel like fall in North Carolina and Chief is loving it. 🍂 His collage shows all his best faces from sweet, goofy, serious, and everything in between.

Chief is still looking for his furever home, and he’d love to spend all the cozy fall days (and every season after) with a family of his own. 🐾💛

📍 Chief is currently being fostered in North Carolina

🎥 Just look at Maverick and his friend Bella go! These two Underhound pups have become the best play buddies with nonstop zoomies and happy tails all around! 🐾💛

Maverick’s still on the lookout for his furever home. He doesn’t need another dog in his adoptive home, but he sure loves having a buddy to play with! With his sleek black coat, long legs, and playful energy, he’s ready to bring smiles and fun wherever he goes.

Could your home be his next adventure spot? 💙

Cletus spent a long time waiting at the shelter, so we were thrilled when a foster stepped up for him. Just a few days later, a family who had met him at the shelter reached out. They couldn’t stop thinking about him and wanted to make him theirs!

Now named Duncan, he is home and thriving. He’s bonding with his dog brother, learning the ropes, and even gave his first cheeky bark the other day. His family says he’s smart, settling in beautifully, and already so loved.

Happy tails! 🏠❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
