Dahlia's Story

Poor Dahlia was terrified in the noisy, scary shelter, but thanks to a kind volunteer, Dahlia is now safe in a foster home. As her name suggests, petite Dahlia is blossoming in a safe, loving household.<br/><br/>Dahlia is calm and polite with everyone she meets on her daily walks (dog or human). She is gentle and quiet, with perfect house manners, and is a great walking companion. Dahlia has a perfect temperament, and we are so glad we could save her life. Next step is a Forever Family- maybe yours?<br/><br/>Daphne is about 2-3 yo and weighs about 35 lbs (underweight). She is spayed, vaccinated, screened for parasites, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $390 cash and she is available for foster-to-adopt within the Chicago area. <br/><br/>For more information and an adoption application, please email UnderdogRailway@yahoo.com

Underdog Railway Rescue's Adoption Policy
For an adoption application, please email underdograilway@yahoo.com Our dogs are housed in private foster homes, and may be viewed at adoption events, or by appointment with an approved application. We do not have a shelter facilty. Please note:  barring special circumstances, we limit our adoptions to the Chicago metro area. Under no circumstance will we ship a dog anywhere. We cannot hold dogs. We do not adopt pitbulls or other bully breeds to renters. This is due to the scarcity of bully-friendly rental housing, which all to often leads to relinquishment or abandonment of the dog. Shelters are overwhelmed with pitbulls left homeless for these reasons. If you have other dogs in your home, they must be spayed/neutered/UTD on vetting, barring a current and valid veterinarian exemption. Our base adoption fee is $390 (cash), and includes spay/neuter, microchipping, heartworm testing, deworming/parasite screening, and vaccinations for rabies, distemper/parvo, leptospirosis, and bordetella (kennel cough).  Some of our dogs also require and are treated for extraordinary medical conditions such as dental decay, heartworm, orthopedic or oral surgery, malnutrition, infections, etc. Our dogs live in our homes, so we can provide temperament and behavior insights to help ensure a good fit with an adoptive family. Our foster-to-adopt program is basically a trial adoption, which allows approved applicants to host the dog for 1-2 weeks before committing to a permanent adoption. When the adoptado is complete, The adopter receives the dog's vetting records and microchip registration information, and the adaptation fee is due. We do not have a physical shelter. Our dogs may be seen at our scheduled adoption events, or by appointment. A completed application is required prior to any appointments. Volunteers welcome. Please consider fostering with us. You would be helping us save lives.
