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 wouldnā€™t hesitate to adopt another dog from Underhound Railroad.”

– Maryann

“Iā€™ve adopted two wonderful dogs through this agency. Theyā€™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

Thanks to so many generous supporters, we are just $375 away from fully funding Boomerā€™s medical care. šŸ©ŗ His vet suspects an aggressive form of bone cancer, and we are raising funds for the chest X-rays and bone biopsy to get a full diagnosis. šŸ©» Boomer is such a sweet boy and are committed to giving him the best care possible. Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to our goal!

Can you help us reach the finish line? Please donate or share to support Boomer!

February brought two special new Underhounds into our care! Meet Elle and Pinky! šŸ’•

šŸ¶ Elle is a sweet senior at 8 years old who spent too long in a rural shelter. She is heartworm positive and has arthritis but she has already been to the vet for evaluation. Elle is settling into her foster home where she is getting plenty of love and comfort.

šŸ¾ Pinky is a 3 year old pocket pittie with an infectious smile and an unstoppable joy for life! She lost her family due to hard times and has been in a home that cared for her, but she needed the help of a rescue to find her furever family.

Both of these girls are now safe and getting everything they need while they wait for their perfect homes! Stay tuned for updates as they settle in.

We loved Elle at the shelter. Elle never showed her age. Out in the yard she was running round enjoying the fresh air. Thank you so much for rescuing Elle and hope she finds her familyā¤ļøšŸ¾

ā­ Wishlist Wednesday ā­

Brook has been with the rescue since August 2024, and we can't believe this fun loving girl is still looking for her furever home. Brook is a one year old hound mix with infectious energy. She loves playing in the snow, adores other dogs, and is always ready to have a great time. Youā€™ll often find her flopped on top of her dog friends or rolling on her back with her legs in the air! Brook is potty and crate trained and knows commands like ā€œsitā€ and ā€œdown.ā€ Sheā€™s the perfect mix of playful, goofy and cuddly, and we are so eager to help her find the loving family she deserves! šŸ 

While she waits, you can send some love to Brook by checking out her Amazon Wishlist. ā†™ļø

Birdie is ready to be your next adventure buddy for life.šŸŒ„ This adorable girl is 11 months old and has a heart full of love. Rescued alongside her brother while shivering in the cold, Birdie has blossomed into a social, playful and affectionate companion. She absolutely loves playing with other dogs and thrives on canine companionship! Whether sheā€™s splashing in a creek, playing tag with her friends, or exploring new places, Birdie is always up for an adventure. Sheā€™s great on a leash and enjoys meeting new dogs and people along the way. But Birdie isnā€™t all about play as she also has a gentle and cuddly side. She adores belly rubs and snuggling up with her humans. She even gets along well with cats! šŸ± Birdie would do best in a home with at least one other dog to keep her company and share in her playful spirit. Sheā€™s currently being fostered in North Carolina, but she can travel as far north as Maine to find her furever family!

Some dogs just need the right person to see them and for Baby Bell that moment finally came! Overlooked at the shelter, her journey took a turn when one of our Maine foster families spotted her picture and knew she was the missing piece in their home. Now, Baby Bell is officially part of the family! At just over 2 years old, sheā€™s a pro at giving kisses, finding things to put in her mouth (for better or worse! šŸ¤£), and making her humans smile and laugh every day. Sheā€™s not a fan of the cold or snow, but that doesnā€™t stop her from having a blast playing outside with her new sister, Aurora. Happy tails Baby Bell! šŸ ā¤ļø ... See MoreSee Less

Bruno is the definition of a lovable boy and this picture proves it! At 65lbs, he may not be a lap dog, but that doesnā€™t stop him from trying. He adores his humans, gives the best kisses, and is always ready for a cuddle! This sweet guy is full of personality, with one ear that stands up and one that flops. Seriously, how cute is that? šŸ˜ He is house and crate trained. Bruno walks well on a leash but could use a little more practice with pulling. He enjoys playtime, though heā€™s still figuring out the whole ā€œfetchā€ thing. Right now, it is more of a ā€œchase but not returnā€ situation! šŸ„Ž Bruno would do best as the only dog in a home, but with slow introductions, he can make new dog friends who match his energy. He would thrive with an adult only home or a family with kids 10+ since heā€™s a big, bouncy boy. And to make it even easier for him to find his perfect match, $150 of his adoption fee has already been covered! ā­
