Tinkerbell's Story

Looking for a loyal, loving sidekick with just the right mix of play and snuggles? Meet Tinkerbell! Tinkerbell is a 5 year old pittie with a sleek black coat, bright eyes, and a heart full of love. She's the perfect balance of playful and calm. Just as happy zooming around the yard as she is curled up next to you for some well earned cuddle time. She's got a playful streak that will make you smile every day. Whether she's tossing a ball around by herself or chasing the water hose with joy and determination, Tinkerbell knows how to have fun! Indoors, she's incredibly affectionate and sweet. She lives for couch cuddles and quality time with her people. Tinkerbell has received ongoing professional training and is thriving with structure and routine. Her trainer describes her as "soft," meaning she's sensitive, connected, and eager to please. She's also learning how to feel confident and calm in her surroundings, and she takes direction beautifully from people she trusts. She's crate trained, house trained, and walks nicely on leash. She enjoys enrichment toys (especially Kongs with yogurt or peanut butter), and her dream day includes a walk, some playtime, and curling up with her favorite human at the end of it. Tinkerbell enjoys meeting new people and has done well with respectful children. She would love a home where she can continue to feel safe and supported. A home where she can be your one-and-only or share the space with a calm, easygoing dog who understands personal space. With slow, thoughtful introductions, she's shown she can happily coexist and feel at ease. Tinkerbell's story is one of resilience and love. She spent 8 months as a stray before trusting someone enough to accept help-right after giving birth under a shed. Since her rescue, she's blossomed in foster care and is now fully ready to find her furever home. Her adoption fee is partially sponsored ($150 already covered!), and she's ready to start her next chapter. Tinkerbell is currently fostered in North Carolina and can be transported to an approved adopter along the East Coast, as far north as Maine. If you're ready to welcome a loyal, affectionate, and playful companion into your life, Tinkerbell is ready to meet you! Apply here to adopt: https://underhoundrailroad.org/adoptionprocess/

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!
