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

While many of us are celebrating with family, food, and cozy moments, Elle is still waiting for something she’s never had... a family of her very own. She’s been with our rescue since February, and every day she shows us how gentle, loving, and patient she truly is.

Elle is an 8 year old Lab mix who loves sunshine, snuggles, and quiet companionship. She gets along well with other dogs, enjoys calm homes, and would also be perfectly happy as your one and only. She’s currently being fostered in North Carolina, but transport is available to her furever home.

If you have room at your table… or your couch… or your heart… maybe this is the season Elle finally gets chosen. 🧡

Tinkerbell is enjoying a quiet moment on the couch with her foster mom. 🖤 This long timer has been waiting patiently for her furever home and is ready to bring love, loyalty, and just the right mix of playfulness and snuggles to the lucky family who adopts her.

At 5 years old, Tinkerbell is a sweet pittie with a sleek black coat and bright, loving eyes. She has received professional training and continues training sessions with her foster family to keep her skills sharp. Tinkerbell thrives with structure, consistency, and lots of love.

Tinkerbell adores people, does well with respectful kids, and could either be your one and only or join a calm, easygoing dog after slow introductions. She loves enrichment toys like Kongs filled with peanut butter or yogurt, and enjoys both playtime and cozy cuddle sessions.

✨ Her adoption fee is partially sponsored!
📍 Currently being foster in North Carolina with transportation to her adoptive home is available. 🚗💨

🐾 Ready to meet this loyal, loving sidekick?

If big brown puppy dog eyes are your weakness… meet Maverick. 🤎👀 This sweet guy loves nothing more than curling up on a cozy bed and gazing up at you like you’re his whole world.

Maverick is about 1.5 years old and the perfect mix of fun and snuggly. He’s past the wild puppy stage but still full of that joyful, goofy young dog energy.

He’s crate trained, potty trained, and loves playing with toys, especially his beloved Lambchop. 🐑 Maverick does great with other dogs and would be so happy with a playful pup sibling. After all the fun, he’s just as happy to relax and wind down.

Maverick is ready to be apart of your world! Find the adoption application in the comments below! 📝
