Bruno's Story

Meet Bruno!<br/><br/>Handsome,<br/><br/>Huggable<br/><br/>&<br/><br/>Ready for a Home!<br/><br/>At 6 years old, Bruno has the perfect balance of playful energy and laid-back companionship. He’s been waiting far too long for his forever family, and everyone who knows him agrees—it’s finally his turn to be someone’s favorite boy!<br/><br/>This handsome, happy guy weighs about 65 pounds and has a smile that’s impossible to resist. With one ear standing tall and the other adorably flopped over, Bruno is as unique on the outside as he is lovable on the inside. And while he might not technically be lap-dog sized, someone forgot to tell him!<br/><br/>Bruno loves being close to his people, soaking up affection, handing out sweet kisses, and claiming his favorite spot right beside you on the couch. Bruno has settled beautifully into foster care and has shown everyone what a wonderful companion he can be. He’s fully house-trained and crate-trained, and he’s perfectly content relaxing in his crate when his people are away. Around the house, he’s an easygoing guy who enjoys lounging on the couch, savoring a frozen treat, or entertaining himself with his collection of toys. His absolute favorite? A Lamb Chop stuffie, of course!<br/><br/>What about other dogs? Bruno can absolutely thrive as your one and only, soaking up all the love and attention his heart desires. But being an only dog isn't his only option! Bruno currently lives in a foster home with FIVE doggie friends. He isn't the type of guy who needs to interact or play with every dog he meets, but he's happy to share his space with the right canine companions. He does best with friendly, respectful female dogs and may also be a match for a friendly, submissive male. The key is finding dogs who respect his personal space and let him enjoy their company at his own pace. We're happy to discuss whether your resident dog might be a good fit for Bruno!<br/><br/>Bruno also enjoys his walks and does well on leash, although he's still working on polishing his manners when excitement gets the better of him. He loves chasing toys even if bringing them back isn't quite his strong suit yet! Due to his size and enthusiastic personality, Bruno would do best in a home with children ages 10 and older.<br/><br/>Bruno has spent far too much time waiting for someone to choose him. Bruno is past the puppy chaos but still has plenty of life, love, and goofy moments to share. He's ready for a family who will appreciate his loyal heart, silly side, and love of life's simple pleasures: couch cuddles, stuffed toys, tasty treats, and simply being near his favorite humans.<br/><br/>And here's some extra good news: Bruno's adoption fee has been generously sponsored! If adopted within South Carolina, his adoption fee is just $50. For out of state adopters, it's $175. Bruno is currently being fostered in South Carolina and can be transported along the East Coast as far north as Maine to meet his forever family.<br/><br/>Could Bruno be the missing piece of your family? Whether he's your one and only or shares his home with the right doggie friends, he's ready to be loved and cherished for the wonderful boy he is.<br/><br/>Apply to adopt Bruno today! https://underhoundrailroad.org/adoption-application/

Underhound Railroad's Adoption Policy
Our adoption application is on our website: https://underhoundrailroad.org/adoption-application/ If you have not yet submitted an application to us and are interested in adopting one of our dogs, we recommend you complete an application as soon as possible. You may submit an application for a specific animal that is posted in our Petfinder or you may submit a general application if you intend to adopt in the very near future. When an application is received, one of our volunteers will review your application and contact your vet, landlord, and personal references. Before submitting an application, please make your references (landlord, personal, and veterinary) aware that you are looking to adopt a pet and that we may be calling for a reference. If your application passes through the references process, a home visit will be set up by a volunteer. You will be contacted via email, text, or phone call. Please check your spam folder. We conduct in-home or virtual visits. If the home visit is approved, a meet and greet with the dog of your choice can be set up. Depending on the current location of your dog in, this may be a person visit or a virtual one. Our organization is foster based and does not have a location where the dogs can be visited. Once you have been approved, a volunteer will contact you about scheduling a time for you to meet the dog(s) you are interested in. This meeting may occur at the foster’s residence, your home, virtually, or a location determined by the foster If you have decided upon a dog that you would like to adopt and the approval process has been completed, you are required to sign an adoption contract and to provide payment of the adoption fee. At that time, you become the owner of the dog. Underhound Railroad is committed to the life, health, and well-being of every dog we place for the remainder of that dog’s life. Should the adoption not work out or you need to rehome the dog, we require, by contract, that the dog be returned to us. Please notify us ASAP. We are here to help! Submitting an application does not guarantee the ability to adopt, nor does it place a particular pet you are interested in on hold. If your application email includes interest in a specific pet, we will update you on that pet’s status when your application has been approved. Requirements to Adopt: Applicants must have the ability to own a pet at their home. If your residence is not an owned property, we must verify the pet policy with your landlord or the property management company. This includes parents if an applicant still lives at home. All adults in a shared home must consent to a new pet in the home. This means both partners and spouses must agree that a new pet is welcome, as well as all roommates who reside in a shared rental property. Please be sure to include spouse, partner, roommate names, and contact information in your application. All resident pets of all applicants or roommates, parents, etc. must have had regular and routine veterinary care, be spayed or neutered, and be up to date on core vaccines per the recommendations of your veterinarian and up to date on annual exams. We do verify these records, please be sure you have contacted your veterinarian to give them permission to speak with us. It will help expedite the processing of your application. Adoption Donation: Adoption donations are payable via PayPal or our website and will be discussed once your application has been approved and you are ready to take your new pet home. Our dogs are spayed or neutered before any adoption is considered final. All pets available will be current on age appropriate core vaccines. If a dog has not been spayed or neutered because of age or medical reasons, you will sign a spay/neuter contract at the time of adoption and a representative of Underhound Railroad will follow up with you and your pet to assure this procedure has been completed. Adopters will be provided with a copy of all available medical records for their new pet. We require heartworm preventative and flea/tick treatment for all dogs. Underhound Railroad has the right to approve or decline applications without explanation. If we feel a specific dog is not a good match, we may decline to adopt that particular dog to you. A great deal of time and effort goes into placing our dogs and we want both the adopter and the dog to be happy. Please be patient when waiting for a response from Underhound Railroad. We are all volunteers. Most of all thank you for being here and thanks for helping us save lives!
