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

Chief says "not today, responsibilities!" We don't know what is on his calendar but clearly he is not prepared. 😆

Chief is a professional napper, part time goofball, and full time good boy. If your dream coworker is someone who gives you kisses during meetings and insists on a walk breaks, he is your guy. 🐾💼

Chief is available for adoption and ready to bring his charming personality and love for walks (and snacks) into your life. 🦴

Faline update! 🐾 Just about 2 weeks out of the shelter and this tiny 2 year old girl is already blooming! Faline had her first vet visit and has her spay scheduled. The vet says she’s perfect and we agree! 🥰 Faline takes a few days to warm up, but once she does she is loyal to the core. Crate trained, housebroken, good on a leash, and loves to snuggle she even enjoys watching Grey’s Anatomy with her foster family. 📺 Faline has been great with small dogs, ignores cats and prefers calm environments where she can stick close to her people (yes, she will climb a baby gate just to be near you!) Faline will be available for adoption soon! Stay tuned! 🫶 ... See MoreSee Less

For now, we will keep monitoring him but we are hopeful he will be available for adoption soon!

It’s been a busy week at Underhound Railroad and we wouldn’t have it any other way! 🐾❤️ We welcomed four at risk pups from overcrowded shelters in North Carolina.

✨ Shimmer and Shine, a pair of 16 week old siblings that were growing up behind shelter walls. Now they finally get to be puppies in foster homes where they’re safe and loved.

💖 Faline and Chico, two sweet but terrified Chihuahuas, were shut down in the shelter. They’ve already started to come out of their shells in foster care with a little patience and a lot of love.

We’re so thankful to everyone who helped make their rescue possible. These four have a fresh start ahead and we can’t wait to share more about them soon. Stay tuned for updates! 💕 ... See MoreSee Less

Patti Mayonnaise has officially been adopted by her foster family! 💛 When Patti first arrived at Underhound Railroad, she was facing severe skin issues that needed constant care. With regular vet visits, medicated baths and daily medication, it was a long road to healing. But through every step, her foster was right there helping Patti feel loved and comfortable. Now fully on the mend, Patti is living her best life and she’s made it clear she’s right where she belongs. She loves cuddling up with her siblings in the cutest dog pile you’ve ever seen, soaking up every bit of love and comfort in her furever home. Happy Tails Patti Mayonnaise! 🏠❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
