Underdog Pet Rescue of Wisconsin, Inc.

Underdog Pet Rescue of Wisconsin, Inc. We are a pet rescue which takes animals from shelters so the animals are safe when shelter space runs out.
(162)

We are a 501(c)3 all-breed companion animal rescue based out of Dane County, Wisconsin.

📧 EMAIL us at [email protected] with all questions to reach us directly! We place animals in our volunteer foster homes so they can get all they need while they await their forever homes. Animals do not reside at our office or clinic; they live in our volunteer foster homes. We offer full-service, no

n emergency veterinary care Monday-Friday. We provide spays, neuters, dental care, and other surgical services for cats and dogs. W also offer wellness health services (annual exams, vaccines, blood work, microchips, etc). Our clinic sees our Underdog animals, and is also open to the public. We offer lower-cost spay/neuter services to everyone, but help with other health services on a sliding scale basis. Email us at [email protected] to make an appointment for veterinary services.

We know it’s November but are you still looking for some school supplies? We have a few if you’re missing some! ✏️📏

Check out Pencil and Ruler! These gals started their lives off in a school bus until our southern rescue partners stepped up to save them! Now living in the cozy confines of their Underdog foster home they are ready to find their forever homes! 😻

Pencil and Ruler can be adopted together or separate as they get along with other cats! They can often be found together snuggling up on the cat tree or snuggled in a blanket with their foster mom. When they are not snuggling you can find them playing with all the toys!

If you’re missing a Pencil or a Ruler in your household, look no further than these two! 🤩

It’s Aggy!!!

With a smile that melts hearts and a spirit that is good for the soul. Aggy is always one thing, HAPPY! At just under a year old, mostly deaf, and functionally blind, this girl can still steal your heart ❤️

This girlie is your typical Aussie mix with a somewhat attempt at herding activities. She is a curious gal who is a bit tooooo curious for small dogs or cats. Dogs her size or bigger, though? New besties!!!

Aggy is quite the social butterfly 🦋 who truly enjoys her humans!

Check her out 💗

On this Thankful Thursday we are saying Slay & Neigh! 🎁🐴🎊

We are so grateful to the Underdog volunteers, lovely farm animals (including a resident pup!) and Orchard View Equestrian Center/Orchard View Training for hosting a holiday photoshoot with horses to raise funds for our rescue.

Thanks to their efforts, almost $900 was raised to help support Underdog as we work to save the lives of animals and help support our community! 🥳 Below are just a few pictures that showcase the holiday cheer this event provided 😍

THANK YOU for coming to our PJ party!! 🎉🙌🏼

Last Wednesday we posted for our typical slot, and this community came through strong. 💪🏼 We are overwhelmed by the generosity and warm feelings that come from seeing a full supply shelf in our foster store room. 🥰 Foster homes get to “shop” from these shelves of donations so they’re all set up and ready when their foster pets arrive, and it was no different for our darling little hippos. 🦛

Mo, Mimi, and Bea arrived this weekend to find a mountain of jammies, soothing shampoo, and yummy wet food waiting for them. Now all they need is a little more time for their glow-ups and forever homes looking to adopt adorable, bouncy babies! 🤩

We’re also accepting donations to cover the cost of their care. The typical intake cost for a dog is about $250, but these kids’ll likely need a little extra to cover the cost of medication to treat their severe cases of non-contagious mange (which is healing up beautifully!) and help them be as comfy as possible along the way. ❤️‍🩹 If you’re able to donate, check out our website to see all the different ways you can help!

And THANK YOU again from the bottom of these tiny little hearts. 🙏🏼 We couldn’t do any of what we do without the community!

While the weather outside is (almost) frightful, Bonfire🔥 the puppy is so delightful!

Lil Bonfire is around 9 weeks old and 12 lbs, the perfect mix of sweet, smart and puppy! 🥰 Bonfire loves to play with anyone and anything, including toys, stuffies and other dogs. Bonfire also loves a nap, on the couch or in a crate.

Bonfire is also dog, cat and children friendly 🥳 This boy is flexible and goes with the flow; he has done well on car rides and even in stores! 🐾 He really is the perfect puppy package! Since Bonfire is just a lilttle baby, he is still working on potty and house training, so his future family will need to continue that work.

Bonfire would love to cozy up with his forever home and promises to provide lots of love, kisses and snuggles 🥰

For today’s , we have the first part of what is sure to be a very happy story! 🎉

Sweet little Turbo was pulled from a serious cruelty case in Oklahoma. There were 20 dogs pulled to safety, but unfortunately, many weren’t so lucky. 💔 Turbo was the only puppy to make it out. He was about 3 months old and a wee 6lbs when rescued. Despite being emaciated and unsocialized, Turbo was a favorite with our rescue partners and absolutely thrived playing other dogs and kids. 🥰 He LOVES kids!

Fast forward to now and sweet Mr. Turbo is about 4.5 months old and weighs a whopping 16 lbs!! 💪🏼 Turbo’s doing great and healing physically, but he still carries some scars from his time before rescue. He’s got some fear of being left alone and seems to worry about getting fed. He’ll need a family willing to help him feel safe being left alone without food. ❤️‍🩹

In Turbo’s current home, he’s developed a strong bond with his foster dad. He will need some time to learn to bond to his new family, but once that happens, Turbo is sure to be a loyal companion for life! ✨

We are so happy that Turbo was rescued, brought to safety, and found a foster home with Underdog. Can you help us finish the second part of this ? Turbo will need a special home to help him work through his difficult past, but we think he absolutely deserves the chance! 🙌🏼

Say hello to Garfield and Odie: now that it’s not Monday, we can finally tell you about them! 😂

These bonded are as handsome as they come! They were adopted from Underdog as kittens but now they’re looking for another chance. They’re about 1.5 years old and are absolutely best buddies. 🥰 Odie and Garfield are playful and friendly and love to hide under the covers. They love string toys and enjoy a bit of catnip now and then. Garfield is a cuddle buddy and Odie likes to sit closely and then roll on his back for tummy rubs. ❤️

Garfield has cute little black spots on his nose and boasts a beautiful white necklace around his neck. Odie has especially beautiful markings with his white coat and orange tabby tail. 🧡 Both kitties are easy going and mellow boys. They have been together since birth and clearly enjoy each others' company!

They were returned to Underdog due to no one’s fault… sometimes things happen. But Garfield and Odid have been such good sports about having to move from their adopter's home and into their foster’s cat room. Now we’re looking for a forever home where they can truly settle in! 🙏🏼

This is Barb’s world, we are all just living in it 😊

Barb is a bun with a big personality! She’ll keep a smile on your face and laughter in your home. This girlie will keep you on her toes and with her sassiness she does what she wants and asks questions later 😂 Barb is 1 year old and quite the curious critter 👀

Barb really is the total package! Good with dogs, cats, humans- no one scares her 💪
Barb is also a treat motivated gal so she’d be a great fit if you’re looking to train a bun! Beware- she is also a catfood connoisseur 🥗 She is able to jump on chairs and tables during free roam time, so hide your snacks 🫣

It’s our favorite day of the week: transport day!!! 🚙🚙

Transport arrivals are a special time for Underdog. Fosters gather with nervous energy, excited to welcome new babies into the Underdog fold. 🥰 When the van arrives, our fabulous volunteers spring into action and start unloading all the pets into their fosters’ waiting arms. Sometimes the pets are excited to be getting off the bus and taking those first steps to freedom. Other times they’re terrified by all the activity and want nothing more than to disappear. 🥹 Either way, the worst is behind them, and their best lives are ahead!

Today we welcomed 8 adult dogs, 18 puppies, 13 cats and kittens, and 5 guinea pigs into the Underdog family. 🎉🎉 That’s 44 lives saved and shelter spaces opened up for the next life in need.

If you’d like to join our foster/volunteer team and attend a transport soon, you can learn more by visiting our website. We always need more hands and homes! 🙌🏼

We could also use donations to help cover the vet and transport costs for all the new kids joining the fam. 🙏🏼 Find out more under the “donate” tab on our website! underdogpetrescue.org

Happy Feline Friday! 😻

As we continue highlight to highlight our senior animals throughout the month, we thought today was the perfect day to introduce Annie to you! ❤

Annie is a 12-year-old total beauty! She is looking for a home where she can be the only pet and enjoy her retirement life soaking up all your love and attention. This gal is nonstop purrs, love and ready to find her humans! 🐾

As part of Annie’s adoption fee our Underdog clinic offers laboratory testing for senior panel and if needed a dental cleaning prior to adoption. Our clinic loves to help the true Underdogs and that often includes older pets who may have been overlooked at the shelters. Underdog Veterinary team is savvy and experienced in helping older pets with the care they need to live comfortably. 🙏

We strive to give seniors some great golden years and we hope Annie (and others) will find that! ❤
