Underdog Animal Rescue

Underdog all started in 2014, when a girl adopted a personal dog from a county shelter. It was devastating to only pick one pet when there were so many wide eyed and crying pups who just wanted their second chance. She knew she had to do something about it and that’s how Underdog Animal Rescue was founded. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and help the voiceless dogs who need nothing more than a chance. Our shelters are overcrowded which often results in euthanasia for no fault of their own, but the kennel space. We are 100% foster based and volunteer ran organization that relies on the community support to continue these efforts for many years to come. We currently rescue over 300 dogs a year from all sorts of situations such as abuse, people moving out of state, death in the family, suffering from long-term medical conditions or above their means of treating, kennel stress and the list goes on. Once a dog is in our care, we focus on treating any medical needs, spay and neuter, making them ready for adoption through structure, love and the in-home experience with their foster family. The average dog cost over $300 to treat before becoming available for adoption. Because we are foster based we also have to supply all types of materials such as dog food, dog crates, medicine, toys and anything else that will allow them to feel safe and at home. We are very proactive with fundraising, community education to ensure financially we can continue. We do believe education is key for the public and the youth, they are our future. Simple things, like spay and neuter, will reduce the population and one day allow for a no kill nation. We rescue all types of dogs; big, small, old, young, scruffy, 3 legged and even ugly. All breeds are welcome and need help. Dog rescue is the cause we have chosen. Everyone needs a cause in a way to give back to the community and the bigger picture. We can only save one life at a time, but that life will forever be changed!
