Underdogs Rock! Rescue

Dog rescue in Portland, OR

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!
