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!”

Sweet Banks! I’m so happy he found such a loving home 🥰

SO adorable!!!! What a beautiful family! Happiest life ever, Banks! ♥️♥️♥️

So cute.

There is a new Underhound catching his ride to freedom. We have been eagerly awaiting to welcome Phoenix into our warm embrace after spending several months in the shelter. Phoenix had a life that no dog should endure but despite the cruelty that he was shown, he is a pittie filled with nothing but love. ❤️ #dontbullymybreed #pittie #bullybreed #love #bluebully #adopydontshop #thinkadoptionfirst #rescue #freedomride #dog #dogoftheday #instadog #happysunday #pitbull ...

Phoenix is my favorite boy. Part of my heart went with him. I promised him the life he was entering was going to be amazing and that the scars he has are those of survival. He rested his head on my shoulder as I talked to him and told him what a good boy he is and how much love he will get during the rest of his life. I cannot thank you guys enough. ❤️

I love him! Thank you Underhound Railroad ❤️

I will be forever grateful to you for taking in this sweet boy ❤️ he holds a special place in my heart ❤️

What a beautiful baby, I hope he finds a home and they make him forget how badly he was treated. He deserves it! ❤️🐾❤️

This is Callie’s (Claire’s) Dad!!!! 💕Thank you so so much for saving this sweet boy!!!

Welcome sweet Phoenix, thanks to all who made his freedom ride possible!

The Goodest boy around 😭💕😍 thank you thank you thank you ! Somebody is going to be very lucky to have him 🥹🥹

Absolutely precious!

Congratulations

Handsome 😍

What a ham!

We are sad to share that both Juju and Linus have crossed the rainbow bridge. Linus came to Underhound Railroad with only 12 months to live after being diagnosed with aggressive cancer. Linus certainly did not let this diagnosis get him down and kicked cancers butt for a while as he lived for 2 additional years. Juju came to Underhound Railroad with extensive medical needs though became the "Benjamin Buttons" of dogs after each and every medical concern was treated. Juju was feeling great and thriving, though his old age slowly caught up and his body became too tired to continue on. What is important that both Linus and Juju knew that they mattered and were so loved. They passed away peacefully feeling love from their foster moms, who treated them as their own. Keep their dedicated fosters in your thoughts. 🌈 ... See MoreSee Less

I remember a lot of the dogs you guys have found homes for over the years, specifically I remember both of these guys. Even though I haven't met them they all hold a special place in my heart. My heart goes out to those special foster moms that give the older dogs a chance. RIP Linus and Juju ❤

Oh I’m so heartbroken to see this. I don’t think I knew about Linus but I met Juju in person and his posts about looking for an adopter always tugged at my heartstrings. I’m so sorry for the loss of both babies. Thank you to their fosters for taking good care of them while they were still on this side of the universe. Rest high Juju and Linus.❤️‍🩹🎈❤️

So very sorry for y’all’s loss, but thank for loving them hard and not giving up on them. 🙏🙏🙏💜

Thank you to Underhound and the foster families for showing these fur babies such love and support. Run free sweet pups

So sorry for your loss Crystal Tant!

Run free puppers! 🦴🥩🌈 Prayers for the foster families. Thank you for giving them the love they deserved and made the end of their lives much happier than their beginnings. 💕

Deepest condolences on the loss of these precious boys. Bless their foster moms and UHRR for giving them the priceless gift of knowing they were loved and cherished and mattered.

Juju was one of the cutest faces I had ever seen, so thankful to all for giving him wonderful final days. Bless you all.

Peace be with them!
