Why should you choose to adopt a dog from Underdog ResQ out of the many animal shelters and rescue organizations in the area? First of all, we have great dogs! Second of all, we promise to try our best to make this an enjoyable process. All applications will be responded to promptly, (within 48 hours). Last but not least, adopting a dog that has been in a foster home allows us to tell you more about them. We are able to see how your new dog will adjust to being in a home environment, whether they are truly housebroken, how they respond to commands, where they like to sleep, their eating habits, their favorite toys, whether or not he is good with strangers that come to the home and much more. Below are pictures and profiles of our available dogs for adoption. We will do our best to keep this page updated. The dogs that are adopted will graduate and be moved to the success stories page. Please make sure to read the adoption standards before applying for a dog. Complete that adoption application online or print out the pdf application and mail it.

Nala is an 18 month old female Pit Bull Terrier that was placed in an Underdog ResQ foster home at the end of September. She was clearly neglected in the past and was all skin-and-bones when admitted to Underdog ResQ. She does, however, have a good appetite and is putting on healthy weight quickly in her foster home. She is one of the sweetest dogs you will ever meet and greets everybody with a wagging tail and kisses. She loves meeting new people, but she is not a needy dog; she is happy to be by your side and does not need to be all over you. Nala was recently spayed and udated on her shots. She has done well with dogs of all sizes while in foster care, but has not been allowed to play yet due to her healing spay incision site. She walks well on a leash and will sit on command. She loves her dog bed and is being crate-trained, but she does not try to get up on furniture. All-in-all, Nala is a mellow dog who will make a great companion for most people or families. Nala can go to a home with another dog, preferably a male, but she cannot be adopted to a home with cats. If you would like to make this sweetheart a part of your family, please fill out an Adoption Application for Nala at our website, www.underdogresq.org.   See Photos Dog # is: 100206 Name:  Lenny Breed:  Poodle Mix Age:  4 months Sex:  Male Lenny's Story I am a 4 month old sweet puppy looking for my forever home! We think I may be a poodle/scottish terrier mix. I'm about 10 pounds and have some growing left to do but I should stay small. I am black in color and have a coat that will need to be groomed. I will enthusiastically greet you at the door when you come home with a whole body wiggle. I just started crate training and am taking really well to it, and I'm almost fully house broken. I am a smart puppy am an enjoying clicker trianing in my foster home. I exude energy so I need a family that can keep up! I have great zest for life and would love to go for long walks, run in the yard, and play ball. After play time I want nothing more than to snuggle up on your lap and relax for the night. I am looking for a home with terrier and puppy experience. I would also like it if you would take me to an obediance class. It would be fun and help teach me what you expect from me. I am currently being fostered in Boston with 2 adults and a female pit bull. Due to my small size, I would like a home with children over the age of 10.

All inquires and applications will be forwarded directly to her caretaker at Pets In Need.* Hi there! My name is Tiffany! Well that is the name the rescue people gave me when they found me. I had this really ritzy looking collar on me back then. Now I am just living it up, and chilling out. Currently I am living in a boarding facility. I don't mind it, but I would really like to have a home and a bed of my own. I mean, the crate I am in is nice, and I have some toys to play with and some blankets to sleep on, but its not 'my own' you know? I have these awesome caretakers who come in and walk me almost every day. I love it when we get to walk around. I have met so many nice people on my walks! I want to greet every person and dog I meet and play with the dog.I also love nothing better than to run and tumble and play in the grass with another dog. I am determined to have my way, but once I hear someone speaking to me with a raised tone, I will stop whatever it is I am doing. I sometimes go home on the weekends with one of my dog walkers, and I hang out with her little dog, and her kitty. Although I am kind of afraid of her kitty. This one time, I ended up staying with another caretaker who had me for a few days, but I didnt really like her doggies. They were big, and kind of intimidated me. I am currently going to doggie school with my friend Iris. It's really a lot of fun. They say I am catching on quick! But I will need my future mom and dad to continue it and stick to it, because I have a mind of my own! If you are interested in adopting me, or if you would like more information on me please fill out the online application at http://animal-adoptions.org The rescue that has me is asking a minimum donation of $250 to help with my medical costs. They had me tested for heart worm disease, and thankfully I was negative. They vaccinated me, and I already had my boosters so I am all set for the year! They also had me spayed. Thanks for listening! Hope to hear from you soon! *Tiffany is not an Underdog.

I am an 11 l bs Poodle mix that was found on the streets of NYC, believe it or not. They say I am around 8-9 years old but don’t let my age fool you, I am a spunky and agile guy! I was found as a stray in the Bronx and after a few scary days at the shelter, I was very happy to be picked up by my foster mom. I am now being fostered in New Jersey while I wait for my forever home. Are you the one for me? I love to ride in the car, go on walks, snuggle, give kisses and get belly rubs. I really just want to be wherever you are and will follow you around from room to room. I curl up in my blanket wherever you put it, after I arrange it just the way I like it of course. I sleep on my own bed at night and don’t make a peep until my foster parents wake up in the morning! I am a pretty good boy when it comes to that kind of stuff. I am very smart. I know sit, although I can be stubborn at times, and seem to know down and stay too. I come when I am called and walk nicely on leash after some initial excitement. I get very happy when my humans come home, wag my tail really hard, and say a big hello with my funny howl talk. I am working on using my inside voice during the welcome party and my foster mom says I am getting much better! I like meeting new people and dogs, although humans are definitely my favorite species. I have been in the same room with a cat and I was a perfect gentleman. Although I am very cute I will need an experienced home with no children. I will need a firm but caring leader to work with me. I would also do best as an only dog. The people at Underdog can tell you about it and coach you on how to work with them. Please know that my cuteness and other great traits far outweigh my little imperfections. For one, I don't shed!! And, I really do have a nice personality. Plus, I am great at the vet office and I travel well. I behave so well that I have gone to work with a dogsitter and never made a peep. If you like what you hear, feel out an application and hopefully I’ll get to come home with you!

I may have some Chow Chow in me too but I don't have any of its typical traits. My history starts with Underdog because I was found on the streets of NYC and came without a history. Frankly, I choose to forget my past and dream of a better future with a loving family that will never disown me. I am temporarily living in New Jersey and very close to New York. My foster mom, Nicole and Auntie Kim are wonderful foster parents BUT I need a home (although I know they would keep me safe and warm). I have a foster brother Zeus and sisters, Tasha and Ginny. Zeus and Ginny are ex- Underdogs that found their forever home and they tell me it's the best thing that ever happened to them! Check out their success stories on www.underdogresq.org. I know sit, stay, and lie down. I can be a tad demanding for attention but you can easily control that with proper training if you are a true pack leader. I have been around children so I should be a good match for them. Let's set up a kiddy date to see if I get along with your children. I don't require special ownership because I am pretty easy going and fairly mellow. However, keep in mind that I get entertained by three other dogs around here. I love other dogs and wouldn't mind living with one – hint hint. ;-) I jump in the tub for baths and I am currently being trained to use the seatbelt properly in the car. I am housebroken but I don't like or need crates. Although, I am a picky eater...I enjoy food. I like cuddling, running, playing and hanging out with my siblings. If you like what you are reading please come and see me...once you do we will be pals forever!

We’re getting Rex for the kids - they will do all the work. Maybe for the first week or so, but most kids will slack off soon enough and the responsibility will fall on your laps. You are considered to be the owner because you are over the age of 21. If your kids do not walk Rex, then it is up to you that it gets done. As much as we talk to our kids about responsibility and as much as they agree to care for your new dog, we all know that sooner or later most kids will lose interest or get tired. If you can positively answer these questions and concerns, then you may be ready to adopt Rex. View Next >
