I’m ready for my forever home!! 💛

My name is Millie and I’ve spent the last two years living with my amazing foster parents, learning all about house rules, mastering basic commands, and being loved on every single day. But as much as I adore them, I’m so ready to meet the family I get to stay with forever.

If you ask my foster parents, they’ll tell you straight up: I LOVE people.

I’m smart, spunky, and full of joy. I’ll greet you at the door with happy hops and full-body wiggles like you’re the absolute best part of my day. I’m completely house-trained, crate-trained, and always down for a game of fetch with a tennis ball or squeaky toy. If you’re active, I make the ultimate jogging and hiking partner!

I do best as the only pet in a home with a secure yard and teens or adults who want a loyal, fun-loving best friend.

To make it easy for us to meet, Underdog Rescue lets you try a two-week trial foster run. You get to bring me home, see how smoothly I fit into your daily routine, and fall in love with no pressure.

My foster family gave me the best place to thrive after leaving the shelter, but now I’m ready for my final stop. If you can’t adopt, please share my post! My forever human might be on your feed right now.

URGENT: We are looking for an immediate foster or adopter to get Maggie into a safe, loving environment as soon as possible. She is no longer safer with her current foster.

DM us if you can help Maggie.

Maggie is a smart, fun-loving Australian Kelpie / Cattle Dog mix who is equal parts energetic playmate and world-class cuddle bug.

She's high energy, extremely clever, and obsessed with fetch, puzzle games, and interactive play. Once playtime is over, she turns into a total lap dog and lovebug who snuggles up right beside you.

-Dog, cat and kid friendly.
-She is microchipped, spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, and has basic training.
-She plays great with other dogs, but prefers to eat her meals separately.

Underdog Supporters-- We have several new dogs coming in and are in dire need of XL and Large Kennels!!

If you have a Large kennel you are able to loan to the Rescue, please PM us asap!!

We need at least 3 tomorrow!! WE WILL SEND PICK UP!!

Millie has spent two years hoping for a family to call her own. 💛

Her foster family adores her, and once you meet her, you'll understand why.

Millie is smart, spunky, and affectionate. She greets you with happy hops and kisses like you're the best part of her day. She's house-trained, crate-trained, already knows basic obedience, and is obsessed with tennis balls and squeaky toys. She's recently started jogging with her foster dad and would make an amazing hiking or running partner for someone active.

She does best as the only pet in a home with a securely fenced yard, and with teens and up rather than young kids. She's still working on her leash manners around other dogs, and with a confident, consistent owner, she keeps making real progress every day.

We're trying something new to help her find her people faster: you can now foster Millie for two weeks with intent to adopt before making your final decision. No pressure, just a real trial to see if she's the one.

If you can't adopt, please share this post. The right home for Millie might be one share away.

BRENDA, WE SEE YOU 👀🚨

Meet Tennis, the sweetest 6 year old Lab/Pit mix who has been waiting over a YEAR for her forever home. She’s been to countless adoption events, charmed everyone she’s met, and yet somehow she’s still waiting for the one who says “yes.”

Here’s why that makes zero sense:
🐾 Total love bug who wants to be your shadow
🐾 Leash trained, crate trained, great in the car
🐾 Obsessed with fetch and her toys
🐾 Affectionate, gentle, and eager to please
🐾 Does best as the only pet, no young kids, she just wants to be someone’s whole world

Tennis isn’t asking for much. Just a home, a person, and maybe a tennis ball or two.

Can’t adopt right now? That’s okay, SHARE this post with a friend, family member, or coworker who’s been thinking about adding a dog to their life.

Longtimers like Tennis need all the eyes on them they can get. One share could be the thing that finally gets her home. 🙏

Okay, there is no Brenda. The “theft” was a joke, but here’s the truth: once you meet Tennis, she really will steal your heart. 🎾💛

Sai was left behind in a backyard after her owner disappeared. Kindness from local neighbors is currently keeping her fed, but living outside in this intense Phoenix heat is no place for a sweet husky. We need to get her into a safe, cool, AC-filled home ASAP!

📩 Can you foster Sai and save her from the heat? Send us a DM right now for more info or to get started with the application.

About Sai:
-Breed: Husky
-Age: ~3 years old
-S*x: Female
-Personality: Extremely people-friendly with stunning blue eyes and so much love to give!
-Other Dogs: Unknown reactions to other dogs, so proper slow intros will be required.

She deserves a cozy spot inside where she can feel safe and loved while Underdog Rescue works on finding her a forever family.
