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!”

On March 8, 2022, Tinkerbell came to us after being found as a stray. She gave birth under a shed, trying to keep her newborn puppies safe and warm. 💔 Cold, wet, she didn’t have to wait long for help. One of our fosters and her friend stepped in and scooped up the whole family, giving them a chance at a better life.

Now nearly 3 years later, Tinkerbell is still waiting for her furever home. She’s spunky, sweet, and so deserving of a family to call her own. 🏡

💖 We’ve already reached our fundraiser goal to help Tinkerbell, Ronnie, and Bruno with their adoption fees, but we still want to share Tinkerbell’s story and give her the extra attention she deserves.

You can still help by sharing her story! The fundraiser link is below if you’d like to still donate. ↘️

Is she good with other dogs and kitties?

Meet Minnie, an adorable 5 month old puppy with a gorgeous tan coat and a charming little white mark right above her nose! This sweet girl is extra special with her unique bobbed tail that only adds to her irresistible cuteness. Minnie loves to play but cherishes cuddle time and snuggling up for cozy naps with her favorite person or her doggie pals. 💖 Minnie gets along wonderfully with the other dogs in her foster home, making her a great match for families with furry companions. She’s even had a sleepover with a cat and did great, showing she could fit right in with feline friends too! ✨ If you’re looking for a playful yet snuggly addition to your family, Minnie is ready to bring endless joy and warmth into your home.

📝 Adoption application: underhoundrailroad.org/adoption-application/

📍 Minnie is currently being fostered in North Carolina and can be transported as far North as Maine to her adoptive home.

I hope Minnie finds her fur-ever home quickly! (Cute name.) ❤️

Adorable

Sooooo cute!

Bruno’s story is one you won’t forget. Back on May 4, 2022 he was found abandoned on the side of the road with just a shower curtain as a blanket and some water. 💔 Thankfully, a kind person stepped in, kept him safe and made sure he found a rescue to take care of him. Over 2.5 years later, Bruno is still waiting for his furever home. He is a sweet and playful boy with so much love to give. To help Bruno and other long timers like him, we started a fundraiser to reduce their adoption fees. Our goal is to raise $450 to make it easier for families to say “yes” to giving dogs like Bruno the homes they’ve been waiting for.

✨Found and back safe with foster! ✨

Great, I have been thinking about her!

Thank goodness !!!

Two adorable older puppies, a boy and a girl, who desperately need foster homes. They were found shivering near a storage area, but despite everything they’ve been through, they’re incredibly sweet and loving. They’re not bonded, so they can be fostered separately, and they’ve already shown they do well with other dogs and even cats! 🐾

We’re looking for fosters in the Triangle area of North Carolina or Maine. If you’ve ever thought about fostering, now is the perfect time to step up! All supplies and support are provided. You just need to give them a safe place to land and a little love. ❤️

Even if you can’t foster, sharing this post could be the key to finding their foster homes. 👍

This lovable goofball made the journey from North Carolina to New York and has found his home with amazing repeat adopters. 💕 Chief has fully embraced his new life, where he’s all about lounging in style. Whether it’s the couch, the dog bed, or anywhere else he can squeeze himself in. If he fits, he sits! His goofy personality and big heart has brought smiles to his adoptive family! Happy tails Chief! 🏠❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
