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

Two adorable older puppies, a boy and a girl, who desperately need foster homes. They were found shivering near a storage area, but despite everything they’ve been through, they’re incredibly sweet and loving. They’re not bonded, so they can be fostered separately, and they’ve already shown they do well with other dogs and even cats! 🐾

We’re looking for fosters in the Triangle area of North Carolina or Maine. If you’ve ever thought about fostering, now is the perfect time to step up! All supplies and support are provided. You just need to give them a safe place to land and a little love. ❤️

If you can help, please fill out our foster application here. ↘️ underhoundrailroad.org/foster-application/

Even if you can’t foster, sharing this post could be the key to finding their foster homes. 👍 ... See MoreSee Less

This lovable goofball made the journey from North Carolina to New York and has found his home with amazing repeat adopters. 💕 Chief has fully embraced his new life, where he’s all about lounging in style. Whether it’s the couch, the dog bed, or anywhere else he can squeeze himself in. If he fits, he sits! His goofy personality and big heart has brought smiles to his adoptive family! Happy tails Chief! 🏠❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

❄️ Brook the snow angel is ready for her furever family! She’s great with other dogs, loves everyone she meets and is fully potty trained. This 13 month old gem adores snuggles and giving hugs too. She’s super food motivated, eager to please, and loves nosework! Despite being found as a stray with a broken leg, Brook doesn’t let anything slow her down. She has been medically cleared for all activities. Her southern roots haven’t held her back from loving the snow—even at -3°F, she’s ready to play! ⛄

💙 Apply to adopt Brook with the link below.

Meet Baby Bell! This sweet girl was found as a stray in North Carolina and brought to the local animal shelter. Her "before" picture breaks our hearts with her being so uncertain. But just look at her now! That HUGE smile says it all. 😁

Baby Bell’s transformation is a reminder of the difference we can make. As we welcome 2025, we’re setting our sights on creating even more smiles like hers. Every life we save starts with YOU—our amazing supporters, fosters, and adopters. ✨

Let’s make 2025 filled with hope, happiness, and second chances. Together, we can give more pups like Baby Bell the fresh start they deserve. ❤️
