Say hello to Buster!🐾 We are so excited to welcome another City of Buffalo Animal Shelter pup into our rescue. The odds might have been stacked against this black pittie mix in a full shelter, but he’s officially an Underdog now!💙💪

We’re beyond grateful to his wonderful foster mama for welcoming him into her home with open arms.🏠❤️

As a 100% foster-based rescue, our work starts and ends with our volunteers. We solely rely on the kindness of our fosters to provide the space and love these dogs need to thrive.

Stay tuned for more updates on Buster as he gets ready to find his family! And if you’re feeling inspired to help a local dog in need, join our foster team by filling out an application at www.buffalounderdogs.com/foster ✨

🆘 City of Good Neighbors, we need you now more than ever. 💔

This is Marsha. She was recently surrendered to the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter inside of a shopping bag. If that wasn’t enough heartbreak for one small soul, she broke with a devastating case of parvovirus this week.

Marsha has been fighting for her life since Wednesday, but her condition has taken a turn for the worse. She is now battling aspiration pneumonia and her white blood cell count has plummeted.

Marsha needed a hero, so today we officially stepped in. Our rescue president rushed her to a 24-hour ER vet to ensure she receives the intensive, around-the-clock care she needs to survive, and give her the best odds at beating this deadly virus.😔

Parvo treatment is incredibly expensive, but we could not watch this sweet girl be repeatedly failed. To even get her through the door for the next 48 hours of treatment, we just paid an initial down payment of $10,000.

Marsha needs your help, and so does our small but mighty rescue. ❤️‍🩹 Please consider making a donation directly towards her medical care. No amount is too small. And if you are not in a position to donate, please share Marsha’s story.🙏

Buffalo is known for taking care of its own. Let’s show Marsha what it truly means to be a “Good Neighbor.” We will keep you updated on her progress every step of the way.

💖 Happily Ever After for Mama Macy 💖

Big news from Buffalo Underdogs Rescue! Mama Macy has officially been adopted! 🐾
This sweet girl is heading to her forever home, where she’ll be living her best life alongside two lucky cat siblings 🐱🐱.
Macy’s journey started at the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter, and we were honored to pull her into a loving foster home where she could finally relax, decompress, and show us who she truly is. While she will be so deeply missed by her foster family, our hearts are absolutely full knowing she’s found the forever family she deserves. 💕

Congratulations, Mama Macy — your next chapter is just beginning! 🥹✨

🐶 Still looking for your perfect match?
We have so many amazing dogs waiting for homes just like Macy found. Check out all of our adoptable dogs here 👉 https://www.buffalounderdogs.com/adopt

Thank you to our fosters, adopters, and supporters for making happy endings like this possible. ❤️
