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

The one of a kind duo, Peppa Pig and Piglet, have been adopted! These sweet sisters were rescued from a hoarding situation in early 2021 and has taken them awhile to find the perfect family. Though it may have taken much longer than expected their foster mom kept pushing to ensure the best match so Peppa Pig and Piglet could continue to flourish. The piggies have settled into their new home and are adjusting even faster than expected. Piglet is already asking for cuddles, while Peppa eagerly explores on walks. The piggies even claimed their spot in the bed! Just checkout these photos that capture how seamlessly the piggies transitioned into their forever home. Happy tails Peppa Pig and Piglet! ❤️🏠 ...

Oh, I am so happy I remember when I had them for an overnight or two in their transition and I think I had Dollie their other sister until she was adopted just sweetheart. I am so happy and look at those beautiful, matching sweaters. Amy Watkins Littlefield These babies are seniors also !

I'm so happy they found their permanent people! I have thought about them for a long time. (I thought they'd already been adopted. I wish I could have taken them, it is just too busy here)

This makes me so happy! The chihuahuas that came from that situation are truly unique. I had the honor of fostering 3 other sisters and just love them all. ❤️❤️❤️ Happy tails Peppa Pig and Piglet!

They look so happy and peaceful ❤️❤️

This makes me so happy!!!

This is amazing!!! 💕💕💕

Underhound doesn't give up. Great job!

Last week we welcomed a sweet young female dog into our rescue. She was found as a stray in a rural area of North Carolina, but now she's safe with us! ❤️ We have put a fun fundraiser together to help cover the cost of her vetting and care. Our goal is $400 and every contribution, big or small, makes a difference in her rescue journey. Once we reach our fundraising goal, everyone who has donated will be entered into a drawing to pick out her new name! 🎉 Imagine being a part of her story from the very beginning by choosing the perfect name for this deserving girl.

Not sure if male or female .. but Foxie is an option .. as pooch resembles a fox 🦊

I see a, Queenie , because she looks like a queen with her head held high and her front legs crossed. Shows royalty. She's beautiful 🥰

I have filled out adoption application online, my wife and I would love to have this beautiful pup in our home.

Your almost there, Poochie is a perfect name for this sweetie pie.

It's a girl, I was thinking "Shelly".

Hiking first aid for your four-legged companion

When my dog Miles sees me emerge from the basement with hiking gear in hand, he follows at my heels. He knows we will be heading to the mountains soon and he is always anxious that I might forget him (even though that has NEVER happened!).
