Mimi's Story

Mimi is a sweet senior looking for a partner to share retirement with. Although she's got a few years under her collar, Mimi is still healthy and vibrant, with a lot of love to give. Mimi is a fan of walks, naps, snacks, car rides, and snuggles. She is quiet and easy-going, and polite when meeting new people. She gets along beautifully with her foster dog companions, although she generally seems to prefer her own company- those young pups can be so rowdy! Mimi is 8-10 yo and weighs about 60 lbs. Her coat is thick and glossy, her eyes are bright and clear, and she is attentive and alert. She gets joint supplements and NSAIDs for mild arthritis in her back end. Mimi is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccinations, and screened for parasites. Her adoption fee is $200 (additional discount available for a senior or disabled adopter). 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.

Our Mission

We are a very small foster-home based rescue in Chicago's west suburbs, run by dedicated volunteers.

We are licensed by the IL Dept. of Agriculture, and 501c3 Tax Exempt. Underdog Rail...
