We have a new fur baby waiting patiently for his new home!

Hello! I'm Peabody and looking for my true forever home.

I'm a 9 year old Lhasa Apso mix guy and I weigh 18 pounds.

I was adopted from the Ranch as an 8 week old puppy and I thought I'd be with my people for the rest of my life, but reality threw me a curve ball. My Dad passed away a few years ago and my Mom recently decided that I was too much for her to handle by herself...

​I must tell you that I'm on daily seizure medication but otherwise I'm a very happy and healthy guy! The vet says I've got a lot of life left in me too!

​I get along great with other dogs my size - larger dogs sometimes if given some time and patience, but I tend to be a bit growly with them. I'm told it's the "big dog syndrome" - not sure what that mean haha!!

​Cuddling with my humans is my most favorite thing in the world - I truly am the BEST lap dog!

​I've been neutered, am heartworm negative and am up to date with my vaccinations.

​My adoption fee is $150. Won't you open your heart to me and let me show you the love you've been missing?

Hi animal lovers. As always, we hate to ask for donations, but we find ourselves in need of some food for the dogs. Every little bit helps and all donations are very much appreciated!!!!

Available for adoption through Underdog Ranch Pet Adoptions. we are waiving the adoption fee in order to help move these pups into a home. All four puppies are up-to-date on all their vaccines as well as rabies. They are spayed and neutered, crate, trained and leash trained. They are working on their jumping manners. All of them have grown up with my kids, so they are very kid friendly.

Topaz:
He is the largest of the four puppies at 45lbs. He’s tan with gorgeous green eyes. He likes to play he’s very interested in cats. He likes to chase them around but if you’re willing to work with him he learns really quickly. He likes to be in a car but after about five minutes, he gets shoestrings of drool, and sometimes gets carsick. 

Aquamarine:
She is the largest brindle female. She’s very tall and slender and about 40 pounds. She is a little jumpy and has a lot of energy. She loves to play fetch and run around.

Come on out to the Ugly Mug in Clayton and get some puppy love!!!!! Lower riders a plenty!!!!!!! Waived adoption fee with approved application!!!

ADOPTION FEES ARE WAIVED FOR EMERALD AND HER FOUR PUPS.

With no one to foster and no adoptions, we need to take measures to find these sweet dogs their own homes. They are currently in one foster home and it's just no longer a viable solution to have them all together. All are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations including Rabies, and on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention.

We've drastically depleted our funds and have no way to recover what we spent on this family of Mama and eleven pups. With Mama and 5 pups remaining - recouping the expense is so much less important than finding homes for this crew.

We are closed to intake for the near future until we can secure additional foster homes or get these six adopted. Please help by sharing this post.

Is anyone available to foster Topaz? We provide everything including a crate and food if needed. This guy is 6 months old, up to date with vaccinations, and will be neutered in a few weeks, and is a happy guy! He is crate trained and housetrained if let outside on a regular basis.

He was adopted but returned after just a few days because he didn't get along with the resident cat. He wanted to play, the cat didn't understand, etc... Deemed a failure after 3 days unfortunately.

He's a happy-go-lucky guy who loves attention! If you're interested in fostering, comment here or message us! THANK YOU!

UPDATE: YEP - US AGAIN. STILL NEED 3 TEMP FOSTERS. MULTIPLE PEOPLE AGREED TO BE OF HELP, AND THEN BACKED OUT. Yes we realize it's spring break for local public schools. Kinda difficult to believe that all 5000+ followers and their friends/families are going out of town...

This is an EXTREMELY difficult time for rescues. No one wants to foster, no one wants to adopt, vets have stopped offering rescue discounts making it very difficult to spay/neuter in a timely manner, not to mention the increased cost of food and supplies. Yet, we are seeing more dogs that need help now than ever in the 20+ years we've been in existence. We know that you also struggle with some of these challenges. We aren't even trying to solicit contributions. All we need are THREE to step up and keep a loving, playful, well-behaved, and crate trained pup for four days. That's it. No long term commitment. If it sounds like we're begging - well - we are. Please, please help. Because honestly - I don't know what we are going to do if we can't find places for these 3. And that's not being overly dramatic.

Look. W

UPDATE: WE STILL NEED THREE (3) TEMP FOSTERS! Thank you to the wonderful and amazing people that have offered to help already - we are very grateful and appreciative. It's for 3 DAYS - PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

THESE BEAUTIES NEED YOUR HELP! We need temp fosters for 6 wonderful pups - they can be fostered as a single, a pair, or heck - all 6 if you want a true adventure! Temp fosters are needed from April 4th to April 7th. These guys/gals are 5 months old, up to date with vaccinations, and are crate trained (close to being housetrained). A great chance to foster to adopt as well - if you wish! Please comment here or message us if you can help please!!

The Gemstone litter pups are now between 11 and 12 weeks old and can be fostered in pairs until adopted! Do we have anyone interested in doing so? PLEASE - we really need your help. We provide everything - food, a crate, toys, treats and anything else needed - you provide lots of love, basic training, and a safe place for them to grow and learn. Please consider being a foster and help to find these pups their perfect homes!

Here they are - 11 fat and happy twelve day old pups! Mama is a 5 year old very sweet Pit mix who is also heartworm positive, and we have no idea who/what Dad is. These pups will be available for adoption around the middle of December and Mama should be ready for her new home shortly after that (she'll need to be spayed after the pups are weaned). See our post regarding donations and contributions - any and all will be greatly and genuinely appreciated!!

Sooooo we did a thing... We pulled a Mama and her ELEVEN - yep - 11 - puppies from a local shelter. For those of you who've been with us for a while, you will remember that we had several litters of puppies with Parvo well over a year ago - and we lost 75% of the pups to that awful, horrible disease. This is our first litter of pups since then as we have finally recovered financially. I'm not sure if we'll ever recover emotionally, but we're back in this full steam ahead with pups! Of course, we'd love to have your help if you feel so inclined - either by donating through our Amazon wish list - or monetarily. We just reordered vaccinations, dewormer, and flea/tick and heartworm preventatives and for 12 canines - that is a LOT! Pictures of pups to follow - they were born on 10/15, so their eyes will be opening soon!! Thank you to everyone for supporting us! https://smile.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1PR9449RPLR3J?ref_=abls_nvfly_yl

Hello there people!! My name is Juno, aka June Bug. I'm a 9 month old, 25 pound Jack Russel Terrier/Hound mix gal.

Of course I have a story - don't we all? I was born on January 25th with brothers and sisters. But - I was a little different - I was born with a cleft palate. Because of this, I couldn't latch onto my Mama to feed very well. I had to be separated at feeding time to be bottle fed and I did real well with that. But my siblings didn't like me very well and started bullying me - I guess they were jealous that I got to spend feeding time with my human Mom and Dad and they didn't!!

The bullying continued, even from my Mama. All of my siblings got adopted and no one wanted to adopt me because of my different ability!! You see - my cleft palate does not affect me at all and will not in the future!

My owners tried and tried to find me a good loving home but were not able to - no one wanted me, so they asked Underdog Ranch to take me in and find my forever home.

I eat dry food and love treats - all of them! Having a cleft palate does NOT define me!!

I'm a bit shy because of a lack of socialization so I will need someone who has the time and patience to let me get to know them. Once I get to know a person - it's all about the attention! I live with other dogs and children - the youngest who is six years old.

I'm a big tail wagger and I even know how to Sit!

I've been spayed and am up to date with my age-appropriate vaccinations. My adoption fee is $250.

We received this wonderful update about Watson - formerly known as Scooby!

"Wanted to say Thank you again for all you do …I know you have probably rescued and found homes for 100’s …

Not sure if you remember the three littermates rescued in summer of 2020 - Scrappy, Velma and Scooby. It's hard to believe but today is the two year anniversary of Watson coming to his forever home and wow what a life he has… His days consist of a minimum of an hour walk per day, play dates with my neighbors dogs, (he is beyond athletic - 50 ILB of pure muscle ) playing with his favorite football and soccer balls, chasing in his yard and sprinting, and truck rides!

He goes out to lunch and or dinner with us because we don’t like being without him (we only dine in pet friendly restaurants). We go to the To***co Trail at least three times a week on my days off...

As you can see, he is stunningly handsome plus sweet! He is a people magnet and people can’t believe he is a rescue … He is the center of our life and as much as we do for him, Watson has brought so much to our life and we can’t remember life before he came home.

On this two year anniversary I want to thank you and his foster Mom. We hope his brother and sister are doing well and you continue your amazing work 🙏
Sincerely
Maureen 💙Watson💙Stan"

Have you ever thought about what it means to save a dog or puppy's life? It takes dedicated foster homes and committed people who love dogs!

Fostering is very rewarding. Underdog Ranch has a great need for fosters! We provide food, bowls, leashes, collars, dog beds, toys and anything else needed. You provide lots of love and direction! You'll be required to have your foster dog/pup available for vaccinations when necessary. We do most vaccines (all but Rabies) and deworming ourselves.

You can tell us what gender of dog you'd prefer, the size and the personality. We have a need for foster homes for all sizes and personalities of dogs. We will also have puppies if that's something you might be interested in! Puppies must stay in pairs (at minimum - you're always welcome to have more!) from the time they are weaned until they are able to be adopted out at 9 weeks of age.

We hold one to two adoption events per month - when you are able, you would bring your foster dog to the event to see if they will possibly meet their forever person or family!

Any adoption applications received by Underdog Ranch for your foster dog will be reviewed. Once approved, the application will be forwarded to you with a short summary of the people and their lifestyle/home/life in general. As the foster, YOU have the final say on whether or not you like what you see on paper, and if so can then set up a time for the potential adopter and your foster dog to meet!

If fostering is something in which you have interest, we'd love to talk to you about it and meet you! Please contact us by visiting our website at https://www.udranch.org/volunteer. Click on CONTACT US FOR AN APPLICATION. We'll send you the application and get things started!

We need foster homes! We cannot rescue more puppies and dogs without YOU! You can specify what size and gender of dog you're able to foster and whether or not you're open to fostering puppies (and if they're young enough, their Mama too!) Whether you are new to fostering, an experienced foster, or s...

Hello all you beautiful people! I'm Paris - nice to meet you!

I'm a 17 month old 38 pound Goldendoodle and definitely have some quirks (workable ones though!) I came into Underdog Ranch when my human Mama had some pretty serious medical issues and she wanted what was best for me. So I'm hanging out with my foster Mom and canine/feline foster siblings until I find my new furever home.

I'm a pretty active gal and will do best in a home where my new family/person is knowledgeable about my breed. I need strong leadership - we are working on my manners here (I'll admit I haven't had much training and I'm learning things all over again.) I'm a strong-willed but very fun girl!

I will also do best with a larger canine sibling if there are other dogs in my permanent family. I tend to use brute force when I'm playing with smaller dogs lol - I tend to just bowl them over (I know, I know - it's all part of that training thing!) I get along with the resident cat here pretty well.

I would love an active family or person - and a fenced yard. I have lots of energy to burn and would love if someone could help me do that on a daily basis!

I wasn't housetrained when I came into the Ranch about a month ago but my foster Mom had me doing really well - until I got spayed that is. That was a scary experience for me and now I'm learning my housetraining all over again! I will not potty on the leash right now - hence the request for a fenced in yard to do my business.

I won't be adopted out into an environment with children under the age of 12 years old - more for the child's safety than mine due to my exuberance and activity level.

I've been spayed, am heartworm negative, and am up to date with vaccinations. My adoption fee is $500.

If you're interested in meeting/adopting me, please visit https://www.udranch.org/how-to-adopt and hit the "Contact us for Application" button!

Adoption fee is $350 - $100 returned to an adopter after spay/neuter is done. Visit https://www.udranch.org/how-to-adopt to request an application if interested!

PUPPIES PUPPIES PUPPIES AVAILABLE AFTER CHRISTMAS!! WE STILL DESPERATELY NEED FINANCIAL HELP PLEASE!

Thank you so incredibly much to those that have been able to contribute! Saying thank you seems so trivial, but please know that it felt great - and was a big relief - to be able to get some vaccines ordered today! Sadly, we are still in great need of monetary donations.

Each puppy will cost in the vicinity of $40 each just for the first 2 rounds of puppy vaccines with syringes, 2 rounds of dewormer, a kennel cough vaccine, heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention. With 15 pups - we are looking at over $600 just to vaccinate, deworm and prevent flea/ticks/heartworm in these pups.

The two mamas have many additional costs such as heartworm testing, rabies vaccinations, spaying, and their heartworm and flea/tick prevention is costlier because they are larger and both are determined by weight.

None of this includes food or treats - and believe us when we say PUPPIES CAN EAT!!

Please consider a donation of any amount - everything will help. You can donate through PayPal on our website at https://www.udranch.org/donate
or through Venmo to . Normally we'd try a Facebook Fundraiser - but it takes 2-3 months to get the funds from them and quite honestly - we need to do this now! Thank you in advance for considering a donation and for your unwavering support ❤🐾

PUPPIES PUPPIES PUPPIES AVAILABLE AFTER CHRISTMAS!! WE DESPERATELY NEED FINANCIAL HELP PLEASE!

Over this past weekend, we admitted 2 Mamas and 2 litters of puppies (one litter of 7 and another of 8 pups) into our program. As most of you know, we haven't been able to have pups in the program since multiple cases of Parvo affected 3 litters of pups early this past summer, with most of the pups succumbing. As a result, we donated many "soon to be expired" vaccinations, dewormer, heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention to other rescue folks - totally depleting our supply. We have enough of all to vaccinate and treat these guys for their initial care but will need to quickly get more! We are still paying off our vet bill from early summer and without adoptions, we haven't been able to restock supplies.

Please consider a donation of any amount - everything will help. You can donate through PayPal on our website at https://www.udranch.org/donate or through Venmo to . Normally we'd try a Facebook Fundraiser - but it takes 2-3 months to get the funds from them and quite honestly - we need to do this now! Thank you in advance for considering a donation and for your unwavering support ❤🐾

We are most thankful for for all of you who support us in many ways! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and your families - human and canine!!

Remember us asking a little over a month ago for a temp foster to care for Pip while foster Mom had to go out of town for about a week? Sandra Murray Anastasio stepped up and took our boy in for a week - and introduced friends of hers and her husband to Pip! Fast forward about a month - and those friends formally adopted Pip after a 2 week trial adoption! WOOO! Pictured are Jama and Richard, with Pip on the left with his canine sister Abby on the right! Happy tails to all!
