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.”

– 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

Ellie came to Underhound Railroad as an underweight stray, but when she kept gaining weight, we realized she had a surprise. She was pregnant! 😱 She was an amazing mom, and once her pups were off to new homes, it was finally her turn. ❤️

Now Ellie’s living her best life with her furever family! Her adopter shares that Ellie is happy, loved, and gets along great with her furry siblings. Happy tails! ❤️🏠

🖤🐾 Today is National Black Dog Day. A perfect time to spotlight our handsome boy, Maverick!

Maverick or Mav, if you’re friends (which you will be in no time) is about 1.5 years old and the total package. He is playful, affectionate, and full of goofy personality. This boy loves zoomies, stuffies, and especially showing off his beloved Lambchop toy.

✅ Crate trained
✅ Potty trained
✅ Loves other dogs
✅ Eager to please

Mav would thrive with a playful pup sibling, but he’s just as happy snuggling up with his people after a fun day. At about 50 lbs, he’s the perfect size to bring big love without taking up the whole couch, unless you let him. 😉

Maverick is currently in North Carolina and is looking for a foster home or an adoptive home. He’s ready to be someone’s best friend forever. 🫶

Let’s show the world just how amazing black dogs are. Maverick is living proof! 🖤🐶

Meet Chief, our 5 year old charmer with the sweetest bully face and a smile that could melt anyone’s heart 😍. This handsome guy loves his people, daily walks, and tagging along for errands, puppuccino runs, or car rides (he rides like a king on his throne 👑).

Chief is crate & potty trained, knows his basic commands, and is a polite companion with other easygoing pups. At 50lbs of love and goofy energy, he’s best with adults or older kids who can appreciate his big personality, snuggles, and that winning grin.

Looking for a loyal BFF with a heart of gold? Chief’s your guy! 💛 Check the comments below for the adoption application and to follow him on Instagram!

📍 Fostered in North Carolina
🛻 Transport available to his furever home! ❤️
