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 Alfie

8 pound, 8 year old, Sir Alfred Fitzgerald is an endearing and charismatic canine companion with a heart of gold. Affectionately known as "Alfie" to his friends, this charming little fellow is an active and social guy who thrives on human interaction. Alfie shares his foster home with another small dog and an unlikely companion—a bunny! We have no reason to believe he wouldn’t do well around a cat. His small size make him best suited for a home with older, gentle, small dog savvy kids if there are any in the home.   One of Alfie's favorite pastimes is going on long walks, where he can stretch his legs and take in all the sights and sounds of the great outdoors. He dreams of having a securely fenced yard where he can frolic and play to his heart's content, all while ensuring his safety. Alfie is a social butterfly who loves nothing more than making new friends. He greets everyone he meets with a friendly disposition. He is also the epitome of a lap dog, craving nothing more than to snuggle up close and bask in the warmth of his human's affection. He can be a bit of an escape artist, finding clever ways to explore his surroundings and satisfy his curiosity, so outings should always be on leash. Despite his mischievous tendencies, Alfie's heart is pure, and he'll shower his loved ones with as much love as they're willing to soak up. Alfie is a loyal companion who enjoys being right by your side, whether you're lounging on the couch or embarking on a new adventure. While he thrives in the company of his human family, he could be equally content with or without another dog in the home, as long as he receives plenty of love and attention. Alfie is looking for someone ready to make him a cherished member of the family. He is sure to leave a lasting paw print on the heart of anyone who welcomes him home. An Underdogs Rock Rescue adoption application can be filled out online at https://underdogsrock.org/adoption-application   Alfie has had a recent Vet check to include blood work and urinalysis. Nothing concerning in his lab work up. As is common with older small dogs, he is in need of a dental. As part of his adoption, Underdog is providing a dental along with his neuter (he will also be microchipped at the same time) which is scheduled for June 17th. He is up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. His adoption fee is $280.    

Adoption Process
All adoptions require a contract, our fees vary on the situation. We complete home inspections prior to adoption and follow up with adopters after the adoption for assistance if needed.
