Underdogs Rock Rescue Underdogs Rock! Rescue is a small all volunteer foster based, Oregon 501c3 nonprofit dog rescue

URR works directly with severely overcrowded Shelters and rescue groups in CA, AL. Kauai, and Mexico to transfer dogs in need of rescue help and those who need expanded adoption options out to the Dog loving Portland, OR, metro area. We also help place some local dogs in need of finding forever homes. 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 Luna!

Luna is a 2.5 year-old, 33 pound terrier/shepherd mix. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations and house trained.

Luna is healthy, loving dog who is smart, very food motivated and has responded well to force free training. She is all about eating sticks, playing tug of war, and gnawing on her favorite bone. Luna has SO much love to give and will make the right people so, SO happy.

The ideal home for Luna would be a quiet home with a large lot, or rural setting, with a secure yard to run around in. She enjoys walks in a quiet neighborhood, too much actively and noise in the city can cause her stress at this time, though she continues to improve daily. She’d be wonderful with another dog, this would make her super happy, and with a family who would be home more often than not. She currently lives with a cat and would be fine in a home with cats. She also likes kids too as long as they are respectful to her needs of course.

She does great with lots of other dogs at dog daycare and at dog parks off-leash! She does really well socially with other dogs but being on-leash around other dogs can be stressful for her, and its a work in progress to let her feel safe in a busy environment. She has already made lots of progress with this and we know she’ll be able to keep making great progress with the right owner who has the time and interest in working with her regularly. That said, a busy city environment would not be the place for her. She is smart, very food motivated, and has responded well to training.

Luna is such a sweet and affectionate dog. She loves snuggling and would be thrilled to sleep with you at night if you let her. She is very much a medium energy dog. Her temperament is relaxed when she is home with her people, though she does react to dogs walking by the window (we’ve been working on that). We love seeing Luna learn how to play- she had no idea what to do with a stick or a toy when she first arrived. She clearly never had much to play with before she was rescued. Are you this sweet dogs new family? If so, Luna looks forward to meeting you!

Underdogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. Adoption fee is $360. Luna is being foster in the Portland area.

Hi! My name is Newt! I'm a super chill, friendly, outgoing and fun 1.5 year old, 52 pound cattle dog mix! I like dogs, cats, kids and adult people too. I'm pretty much perfect.

I'm house trained and I'm just a really cool dog! I like walks, hikes,cuddles and I love to play with my toys. Seriously, I'm just the easiest guy. The one thing I could use is a bit of leash training cause when I see another dog, I get excited and want to go say hi! But its just that I am darn happy and friendly! I'd love to work with you on training and sports as its so good for both of us. I'd be an amazing family dog and I can't wait to meet you!

ADOPTED!

MEET ARI
Ari is an 11 pounds & 3 years old Sh*tzu, and he is the greatest little boy. Ari is always down to meet a new friend almost to a fault when other dogs are not nearly as excited to make his acquaintance. Except with cats, he doesn't understand them and yells at them. This is also why it is best to walk him in a harness, he does great on walks but if there is a cat on the walk he will pull to get to them. Ari & his people will need to work on his walks and self control, that said, he could care less about dogs on walks which is a plus!

Ari loves to play with anything that squeaks and will happily busy himself with a toy to entertain himself. He loves to play with you and his toys too. He enjoys being the center of attention. He likes to play tug with his foster siblings and run around in the yard. He also loves a good game of fetch.

Supervision and clean space is important for Ari as he adjusts to a new home as he loves to investigate and put things in his mouth, especially when he is bored. A bully stick or frozen Kong works well in these situations. He is easily re-directed, so that's a good thing. He would be fine with older respectful children.

Ari is happy to snuggle with his people on the couch, be held and give kisses or just lay easily and be brushed. He loves his grooming time with you! He is comfortable having his feet and face wiped which is great with our rainy climate. Ari does fabulous in the car!

Ari continues to work on house training and will need support with this in his new home. He currently uses puppy mats, and is being weened off of them to go potty outside. Being a very treat motivated guy learning new things should be a breeze for him. Ari was used as a breeding dog then dumped by his bad human owners, so given this, Ari does not do well in crate as he most likely lived in one, so at this time, we do not recommend crating him. He does however respond well to being in an area that is restricted with a baby gate or x-pen, like the kitchen area if you need to contain him.

This playful, sweet, cuddly boy is ready to find his new family!

Underdogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. Adoption fee is $425.00. Ari is being fostered in the Portland area.

ADOPTED!!!

Meet Bonita, a 4 year old, 50 pound, Border Collie Mix. She's a gentle soul with a mellow temperament.

She's also known for giving the best hugs, providing comfort and warmth in the most endearing way. Smart, sweet, and gentle, Bonita is truly a gem. Her adoption would mean a loving, loyal friend and a lifetime of unforgettable moments.

Bonita gets along beautifully with other dogs and even cats, making her the perfect companion.

If you are interested in meeting Bonita (aka Bonny for short) fill out an application and we will be in touch.

Philip is an absolute sweetheart with the most affectionate personality and a charming underbite! He’s playful, social, and always up for some fun with his foster mates, but when it's time to wind down, he loves nothing more than cuddling close. His warm, loving nature shines through, making him the most adorable pup you could ever meet! He's house trained, great with other dogs, and likes to play and go for walks! Good with older, dog savvy kids too. He is an attentive alert barker so at this time and apt setting might not be ideal for him.

Philip, who sure looks like a Brussels Griffon, is 7 months old and currently weighs 11 lbs. As a growing puppy, he'll continue to benefit from a family that has the time and patience to help him be the very best dog he can be. Like any adoption it will be important for his adopters to work with him (and super important for his humans) for success with training and socialization with a force free certified trainer.

Are you the right home for this sweet gem of a pup?

UPDATE!!!
Frankie has received several applications and we are going through them, so for now, Frankie is on hold until we go through the applications!

Meet Frankie! He is an adorable mystery mix from a rescue in Mexico. Part poodle, part muppet, who knows? Frankie is on the smaller side, under 15 lbs.

Frankie is about 9 months old and very sweet. He has lots of puppy energy, so will benefit from a family that has the time and patience to help him be the very best dog he can be.

Frankie is a champion snuggler, very social and will need a home where he is not left alone for long periods of time. He has proved to be a great work from home companion, as long as there is time to get his energy out through both physical and mental exercise.
Frankie can be a bit mouthy and jumpy at his young age, so a home with young kids is not be the best fit.

In true puppy fashion, Frankie will need outlets for his energy. Luckily he LOVES toys and he loves walks. Once he has played for a bit he is happy to curl up on a lap and take a nap, he also likes to watch dogs on the telly. He is currently living with two other larger dogs in his foster home and does well with them. He would likely do great with a playful dog sibling.

Frankie has proven to be an alert barker so shared walls are not ideal. He would love to have a fenced yard to get out his hilarious zoomies, but he does like to go outside with his people. He has been doing great with his potty training, as long as he is taken out regularly.

Like any adoption it will be important for his adopters to work with him (and super important for his humans) for success with training and socialization with a force free certified trainer.

Meet Betty! She's a one year old, 28 pound active low rider gal who loves to run and play, then when she's ready to settle down, she loves to snuggle with her people. Betty would do well with another dog with her same active level to play with her. When playing she is rambunctious and playful and would overwhelm an older dog. We think she would also do well with a dog savvy kid.

Our guess is she's a Corgi/Terrier mix, we like to think she's a perfect blend of happiness. Betty would do fine in an apartment situation if she gets plenty of walks and exercise as she is an active young dog. In a house, she would need a fenced yard and also walks and hikes. She's sweet and friendly, and with some positive training skills Betty will be an excellent companion. She's housetrained and working on her commands and leash skills. Are you ready to bring this darling into your life? She's ready!

Hi there! I'd like to introduce myself, my name is Mickey, I'm around 2 years young, and weigh about 15 pounds. I am super chill and affectionate. I know these photos make me seem very serious, but really, I'm a funny guy. I love to sit on laps and get pets from you! I like my walks and I learned how to use a doggie door at my foster home too! I'm good with dogs and kids, though toddlers wouldn't be great because of my size. I like to play with other dogs so if you have another dog that would be cool with me!

I'm completely house trained and I'm working on my leash skills. Underdogs has lots of great resources for doggie training too! I have a white muzzle and the humans tend to think I'm older but I'm just a mellow dog! I've got a super shiny black coat and really cool ears! As I'm a pretty quiet fellow, I'd be fine in an apartment as long as I get my exercise to stay healthy and active. I'm ready to find my forever family! Are you mine?
