My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Ronnie! This big, snuggly lapdog is ready to fill your days with endless joy and love. At just 3 years old, Ronnie has a huge heart and an even bigger smile. All he wants is to soak up as much love as he can, play, and enjoy some tasty treats. Sliced pieces of apples, strawberries and watermelon are his favorite go to snacks. Ronnie loves being the center of attention and can often be found soaking up the sun while he basks in his favorite spot. Despite not having the best start to life, Ronnie’s heart is full of love for everyone he meets. He’s not holding any grudges and is always ready to share his affection. Ronnie does need some space to get to know new dogs. He has made doggie friends before though he would do best as the only dog in the home or with a submissive female dog as a companion. As for his fetch skills, let’s just say Ronnie’s goofiness and enthusiasm make up for his coordination! He sometimes gets the job done, but he’s more about the fun and entertainment. Ronnie’s loving, playful, and deserving of a furever home where he can get all the love he missed out on.

Ronnie’s adoption fee has been partially sponsored, with $150 covered, so now's the perfect time to make him a part of your family. Apply for adoption today at https://underhoundrailroad.org/adoption-application/! Ronnie is currently fostered in South Carolina but can be transported along the East Coast to his new family, as far North as Maine. Don’t miss the chance to bring this happy guy into your life!

See what Ronnie’s friends have to say about him below!

“I am Ronnie’s current foster mom. He is AMAZING! He REALLY loves his foster dad. Honestly, anybody that sits on the couch with Ronnie becomes a bestie. If you talk to him, he listens with every ounce of himself. If you want to show him something or teach him something, he is more than eager to watch and let you show him over and over with his full attention. Ronnie is so exceptional. Am I biased? Yes. Because I have been honored to be his mom and thoroughly enjoy this boy’s unconditional happiness and love. Seeing him experience a situation when he knows he is safe, is so rewarding. Ronnie is potty trained, crate trained and knows sit and stay. UTD on everything medical.”

“I got to host Ronnie in my home for a quick sleepover. He was a good boy and settled in nicely. We enjoyed the day together by running errands around town which Ronnie did great for the car ride, jumping easily in and out at our stops. He walked nicely on the leash with minimal pulling. Ronnie did meet my female pittie and they did well wandering the backyard together. At night Ronnie easily went into the crate and slept soundlessly through the night. It was a little chilly during his stay so Ronnie let me dress him in doggie pajamas! It was so precious and he didn’t mind at all. I know this boy will be such a great companion and hope he finds his furever home soon!”

More about this rescue

Underhound Railroad was formed in 2009 by a group of friends, with the goal of rescuing innocent dogs from death row in Connecticut shelters. Underhound Railroad has now grown to include rescue communities in Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, North Carolina, South Carolina and Utah.

With our focus on rural areas where shelters are overflowing with abandoned dogs waiting to find rescue, our network of Underhound volunteers work hard to prevent undeserved deaths, see that medical, emotional and behavioral needs are tended to, and transportation as well as a loving foster family are provided to the pups on their journey to finding their forever homes!
