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 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

It’s been a busy week at Underhound Railroad and we wouldn’t have it any other way! 🐾❤️ We welcomed four at risk pups from overcrowded shelters in North Carolina.

✨ Shimmer and Shine, a pair of 16 week old siblings that were growing up behind shelter walls. Now they finally get to be puppies in foster homes where they’re safe and loved.

💖 Faline and Chico, two sweet but terrified Chihuahuas, were shut down in the shelter. They’ve already started to come out of their shells in foster care with a little patience and a lot of love.

We’re so thankful to everyone who helped make their rescue possible. These four have a fresh start ahead and we can’t wait to share more about them soon. Stay tuned for updates! 💕 ... See MoreSee Less

Patti Mayonnaise has officially been adopted by her foster family! 💛 When Patti first arrived at Underhound Railroad, she was facing severe skin issues that needed constant care. With regular vet visits, medicated baths and daily medication, it was a long road to healing. But through every step, her foster was right there helping Patti feel loved and comfortable. Now fully on the mend, Patti is living her best life and she’s made it clear she’s right where she belongs. She loves cuddling up with her siblings in the cutest dog pile you’ve ever seen, soaking up every bit of love and comfort in her furever home. Happy Tails Patti Mayonnaise! 🏠❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

Sweet, soulful Elle is still waiting for her furever home and we can't believe someone hasn't scooped her up yet! 💛

At 8 years old, this Lab mix has truly mastered the art of companionship. She is calm, cuddly, and lives for the simple things like a sunny spot to nap, a leisurely stroll, and time spent with her people. Her gentle eyes say it all. Elle is full of love and ready to share it. 🌞

Elle gets along well with other dogs but would also be perfectly content as your one and only. She soaks up every bit of affection—pets, hugs, kisses—and gives it all back with loyal companionship and sweet, heart melting gazes. 🫶

She’s got the sweetness, the squish, and the sparkle. You just bring the home. ✨

📍 Elle is currently being fostered in North Carolina but can be transported to the perfect match.

Looking for a sweet, playful and dog friendly companion? Meet Birdie! 🐾🐦

Birdie is a 1 year old mixed breed girl who’s as affectionate as she is adorable. Rescued as a pup, she has grown into a happy, loving dog who’s ready to find her furever home. 💜 She LOVES playing tag with her foster dog siblings, zooming around the yard, and soaking up all the attention from her humans. She also CAT FRIENDLY and would do best with another friendly dog in the home to keep her company and boost her confidence 💕

Birdie has a playful side but also knows how to relax. She is a total cuddle bug who’s all about belly rubs and being close to her people. She walks well on a leash and enjoys meeting new dogs and friendly faces along the way.

Birdie is currently being fostered in North Carolina but can travel to her furever family. 🫶

Think Birdie might be the one for you? Apply today to make her part of your family. ↘️ underhoundrailroad.org/adoption-application/ ... See MoreSee Less

Maine friends, check out the beautiful birdhouses built by Mike Dube of Mad Man Designs and get one today! Weather permitting, he sells them on Route 1 in Woolwich weekend days from 8-4 (and he's out today, June 8!) and donates the proceeds each year to Underhound Railroad. We couldn't be more grateful. 🥹 Give Mad Man Designs a follow to confirm when he is selling and get one of his beautiful creations for yourself, or Dad for Father's Day! We are so thankful for our wonderful supporters! ❤
