My story

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

Alissa is a beautiful senior Labrador with a black coat and a gracefully graying muzzle that reflects her years of wisdom. At 11 years old, Alissa is looking for a family to call her own after a challenging start in life as she was rescued from a hoarding situation. Alissa has found comfort in her foster home, where she enjoys lounging on the couch and resting on her own dog bed. Her sweet and gentle nature makes her a loving companion who thrives in a caring environment. Alissa would do best in a home where she can enjoy her golden years surrounded by affection and security. She is well-mannered and content with relaxed activities, making her an ideal match for someone looking for a devoted and loving friend. She wouldn't mind being a solo dog or sharing the love with another doggie friend. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a loyal companion, Alissa would be thrilled to start a new chapter with you! Send in your adoption application today at https://underhoundrailroad.org/adoption-application/.

Alissa is currently being fostered in North Carolina and may transport as far North as Maine to her adoptive home.

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!
