Rescue the Underdog

Rescue the Underdog is a small San Francisco based, volunteer-run organization that saves dogs from being euthanized in high kill shelters. We are part of Center for Animal Rescue and Education in Solano, a 501(c)(3) organization. Most of the dogs are rescued from the Central Valley, often hours before being put down. Some are strays, some are surr... endered simply because they are old. Rescue the Underdog tries to save as many dogs as we can, with our goal being to save them all. We take dogs that no other rescue will take. So we might end up with unpopular breeds, older dogs, dogs who need special medical care, or dogs who need to be socialized. We also have plenty of young, healthy, well-adjusted dogs who are abandoned for no apparent reason. We do everything we can to save them all, get them the medical care they need, socialize them, and place them in loving foster homes, eventually to be adopted into forever homes. Our dogs are special, and many of them need adopters who will give them time to adjust and feel safe in their loving new homes. Our reward is in saving these precious lives and seeing the joy that we bring to people's lives when they find their perfect match in an Underdog. There is no greater joy than to see an underdog's transformation, from the time they are pulled from the shelter to when they are adopted by a loving family. If youd like to help, you can volunteer, foster , adopt, or donate. We are always in need of fosters, and we are in special need of donations to cover the special medical care that some of our dogs need.Read More
