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!”

Meet Pinky, your future best friend! ⭐ This 3 year old, 45lb pocket pittie is full of love, energy and fun! She is crate & potty trained plus knows all her commands. As a graduate of Proactive Dog Training’s Ultimate Dog Package, she has mastered sit, stay, down and more. Pinky is a fetch fanatic, loves her bones and enjoys playtime. She is also a pro at lounging! Whether it is soaking up the sun in a cozy chair or curling up for a nap, she knows how to relax. 😌 While Pinky grew up with a dog and cat, she was not well socialized with new dogs, so she is still a work in progress when meeting them. She does well on walks but is not ready for dog parks or doggie daycare. Pinky would thrive as the only dog in the home and would love an active family for fetch, jogs, and cuddles! 💛

📍 Pinky is being fostered in North Carolina and she can transported to her adoptive home.

💙 Boomer’s Update 💙

Because of your generosity, we were able to move forward with Boomer’s chest X-rays and bone biopsy. The best news so far is that there are no signs of metastasis on his X-rays! He also did great for his procedure and is rocking a little bald spot on his head where they took the biopsy. We are hopeful to have results this week or next. 🩺

As we wait for answers, we are starting the search for a very special foster or adopter for Boomer. He needs a loving home as a furever foster, where Underhound Railroad will cover his medical care, or a compassionate adopter willing to give him a furever home, knowing his time may be short.

We will share updates as we get them, but for now, we just want to say thank you for being part of Boomer’s journey. Your support means the world to him! 🐾💛

A Masterpiece puppy has found their furever home. Monet is the first of her siblings to be adopted and is settling in beautifully with her new family. Monet is already a true city girl, loving her walks and soaking up all the love at home. Her favorite activity? Cuddling on the couch, of course! Her family is absolutely smitten and have picked out a new name. Monet now goes by Mia! Happy tails! 🏠❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

Da Vinci is wondering when he will find his furever home. Look at him in serious thought, ready to steal your heart! ❤️ Da Vinci is a 15 week old puppy who will surely win you over with his playful personality. He loves playing with all types of toys and romping around with his siblings. Recently, he had a blast jumping in the snow in North Carolina. ❄️ It is clear he is a pup full of energy and curiosity! Da Vinci is also hard at work on his potty and crate training. He is eager to continue learning and growing with his future family. 🏠

📍 Da Vinci is currently being fostered in North Carolina but can travel as far north as Maine to find his furever home. Ready to make Da Vinci a part of your life? Fill out an adoption application here: ↘️ underhoundrailroad.org/adoption-application

Thanks to so many generous supporters, we are just $375 away from fully funding Boomer’s medical care. 🩺 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. 🩻 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! 💕

🐶 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.

🐾 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.

Hoping they both find fur-ever homes soon! 🐕 🐩

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 family❤️🐾

⭐ Wishlist Wednesday ⭐

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. You’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 “sit” and “down.” She’s the perfect mix of playful, goofy and cuddly, and we are so eager to help her find the loving family she deserves! 🏠

While she waits, you can send some love to Brook by checking out her Amazon Wishlist. ↙️
