Underhound Railroad, a Nonprofit Organization All Along Route 1

Underhound Railroad is organized exclusively for charitable purposes of companion animal rescue. The organization is not-for-profit and obtained 501(c)(3) status from the IRS in 2015.

Underhound Railroad was formed in 2009 by a group of friends, with the goal of rescuing innocent dogs from death row in Connecticut shelters. Underhound Railroad has now grown to include rescue communities in Maine, North Carolina, South Carolina and Utah.

With their focus on rural areas where shelters are overflowing with abandoned dogs waiting to find rescue, their network of Underhound volunteers work hard to prevent undeserved deaths, see that medical, emotional and behavioral needs are tended to, and transportation as well as a loving foster family are provided to the pups on their journey to finding their forever homes!

Underhound Railroad tirelessly envisions the day where every adoptable dog has a loving, devoted, and responsible home. A home where they will not suffer from abuse, neglect, or ignorance.

They look forward to a society that no longer views dogs as a disposable thing and have faith in those, like Underhound Railroad, who devote their lives to rescue, to provide resources, knowledge and support to families and individuals to help them learn of the importance of spaying and neutering their dogs to put an end to the overpopulation that exists today in shelters all over the world.
