Underdogs Rock! Rescue

We are a small Portland, Oregon based 501c3 organization rescuing dogs from the over crowded shelters in Southern California, Alabama, and Hawaii. We foster the dogs until they are healthy and help them find their forever homes! Contact us at [email protected] work directly with Rescue Groups in Southern California to rescue dogs who are on their last days in the high-kill shelters. Because our dogs are in Foster Homes we get to know the dogs personalities and needs. As we know the dogs well and how they do in a home environment, we do a great job in matching families with the right dog, and the right family for the dog!

Meet Riley

Riley entered the Shelter so matted she had to be completely shaved down to the skin. Gone like the matted hair that was removed from her, so is the life that led to her ending up in the Shelter system. It is never too late for a new beginning. We are here to help make sure little 7 year old Riley finds her best new life.  From Riley’s foster, “She’s a really sweet girl. She is super soft in both fur and disposition. She is friendly with other dogs and people, but can take a second to warm up - treats help! She’s mellow but gets bursts of energy and loves to play fetch.” Riley would do equally in a home with or without another dog. Toys are a must though, especially balls. No idea about cats. Busy city living can be a bit too overwhelming for her and she does require a nice quiet private place for you to take her out to do her business in. Also, though she’s fine in the car, leash walks are not her favorite, but once comfortable in an area she will go for short ones.   Riley is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on preventatives. She is being fostered in SE Portland. Her adoption fee is $380 Interested in seeing about a meet with this precious girl? If so please complete an online Underdogs Rock rescue adoption application at https://underdogsrock.org/adopt-a-dog    You must be available to meet an Underdog in their foster's location and dogs are not held for applicants or shipped outside of the Portland metro area. Home checks are part of the adoption process.  For updates on Riley and all the Underdogs be sure to follow the Underdogs Rock Rescue Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/UnderdogsRockRescue
