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

📅🐾 Last year, Chief won a spot in our rescue calendar, and now that his month has finally arrived, he's flashing his signature smile and hoping it brings him a little extra luck.

Chief has been waiting patiently for his furever family, and we can't imagine a better time for someone to fall in love with this handsome boy. He’s goofy, affectionate, loves a good game of fetch, and has a way of making everyone around him smile. 😁

Could June be the month Chief finally finds the home he's been dreaming of? 🏡✨ We sure hope so.

Until then, he'll keep being the happy, lovable, toy-chasing good boy we all know and adore. 💙🐶

Prayers for Chief

Nolan found his way back to the rescue through no fault of his own, and while we were surprised this cute little guy didn’t get much interest after being returned, it turns out there was a reason for that all along.

His foster mom quickly realized Nolan was already home. He became her little Velcro dog, always close by and completely in love with his big doggie brothers too.

Now officially part of the family, Nolan has a lifetime of adventures, cuddles, and love ahead of him. We couldn’t be happier for this sweet boy. Happy tails Nolan! 🏠❤️

Wishing everyone a safe and peaceful Memorial Day. ❤️🐾

Chief has been enjoying a nice mix of playtime, walks, and well earned naps this weekend. He’s always up for an adventure, but he definitely appreciates a cozy place to recharge after. 💙

Chief is available for adoption and would love a furever family to spend weekends like this with.

Happy National Rescue Dog Day 🐾💙

Today, we celebrate the dogs who got a second chance and the people who made that possible. From scared strays to beloved family members, every rescue story starts with someone saying “yes” to helping.

Rescue is early mornings, vet visits, transport runs, adoption applications, messy houses, happy tails, and sometimes heartbreak too. But it’s also watching a dog learn what love feels like for the very first time.

To our fosters, adopters, volunteers, donors, supporters, and fellow rescue advocates: thank you for helping us change lives, one dog at a time. 🫶

And to the dogs still waiting... your people are out there. ❤️

Forever grateful that you introduced us to our Bentley (Monty when you rescued him) back in 2014. We estimated him to be about 8 months old when he adopted us, so we chose July 14, 2013 as his birthday. He will be 13 this July. Thank you, Underhound Railroad🐾🖤

Although she is no longer with me, Roxy was the best! I got her from you guys 13 + years ago.

Tinkerbell is taking her recovery very seriously… especially the part about resting on the couch and collecting extra attention. 🩹🐾💖

After hurting her paw, this sweet girl is now on antibiotics and pain medication and being cared for by her foster family. Cone aside, Tinkerbell is still the same loving, loyal cuddlebug she’s always been. ☺️

This long timer has received professional training, continues working on her skills in foster care, and is more than ready to find a furever family to spoil her through life’s little bumps along the way. ✨

💰 $150 of her adoption fee has been sponsored!
Could your home be the happy ending Tinkerbell has been waiting for?

📍 Tinkerbell is currently being foster in North Carolina, with transport available to her adoptive home.

She is adorable!!

Poor baby ... hate those cones. I hope she heals quickly & is adopted soon. (Looks a lot like my Dixie.)

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there - especially the dog moms, foster moms, adopters, and volunteers who open their hearts and homes to dogs like Chief. 💖🐾

Chief is still waiting for a furever family of his own, but in the meantime he’s soaking up all the love and cozy moments he can get. We know his perfect match is out there somewhere.

Chief felt so loved for his birthday! 🎉🐶

Thank you to everyone who sent gifts from his wishlist. He received some amazing goodies including his Lambchop stuffie, a bag of food, and a cot (pictured), plus treats, a Kong, and a ball. 💙 We don’t know who all the gifts came from, but we truly appreciate every bit of support.

His foster is especially excited about the cot and has already been working on "place" and "break" commands with him. We can’t wait to share videos soon of Chief showing off his new skills! 🐾

Chief is still available for adoption and would love a family of his own to keep learning and growing with. 🏡

Thank you all for helping make his birthday so special.

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!).
