My story

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

Darcy is a 1.5 year old, 13 pound Chihuahua with the biggest ears! She an absolutely sweet and adoring dog who loves her people, her food, and her cuddle time. She does the cutest little full body stretches on your leg grasping with her paws to ask for pets, and eagerly wants to nestle into her person's body for snuggles and belly rubs.

Darcy is bonded with Eva - two sweet, playful sisters who have hearts full of love and looking for a home together! As young dogs, they are full of life and energy, always up for a game with other dogs. They get along great with their foster's resident dogs, and are respectful of the shy one who wants space. These girls are fast learners, especially with positive reinforcement and are very treat motivated! With new people and new dogs, Darcy feels a little more cautious than her sister, and is doing really well to feel more comfortable to make new friends when you go slow and there's lots of treats.

Darcy and Eva's story began in Colima, Mexico, where they were found abandoned in a poor neighborhood. Alone and vulnerable, their future seemed uncertain—until a kind rescuer spotted them. Without hesitation, she stepped in and made a promise to give these two beautiful souls the chance they deserved. Now they've made their journey to the PNW, and are fostered in the Portland Metro Area.

From their foster mom: I've fostered several bonded pairs now, and these girls have quickly become my favorite! They have such a wonderful relationship with each other, and equally are so excited to be the center of your attention. Darcy is more of the go-to snuggler, while Eva has more playfulness and will romp around with her toys while Darcy snoozes in your lap. They'll give you lots to chuckle about with their playful goofy antics, and so much love.

Darcy and her sister Eva are getting used to their new life in the PNW, and are a little cautious when meeting new people and dogs. They've done well to adjust to meeting new people and a few dogs coming over when we went slow and brought out lots of treats! We know when they lived in Mexico they were very social so we know more warm welcomes will help them build confidence.

In our home, they use our dog door to go potty outside, and do just fine when we leave the house for a few hours. They're making progress with leash training, pull a little bit, but as soon as you stop they look back at you and will quickly run back to you and look up when called! I'm really proud of how great they've adapted through such a big transition, and their cute sweaters are helping them get used to the cold. :P

More about this rescue

On a mission to pair up the right dogs with the right families.

While timing does play a part, Underdog is not a first come first serve rescue placement. Priority is placed on whether a home is the best fit for a specific Underdog and whether a particular Underdog is the best fit for an adopter. A matchmaking process.

URR is an all volunteer 501c3 organization that works directly with shelters and rescue groups in California, Oregon, and Mexico to give dogs in need a new chance. Underdog works is 100% foster based, we have no shelter facility. Because our dogs are in foster homes we get to know the dog’s personalities and needs. As we know the dogs well and how they do in a home environment, we do a great job in matching families with the right dog, and the right family for the dog!
