Underdogs Utterly Unconventional Rescue

Please note that nearly every one of our adoptables has a contact email for the pet. Please contact the person listed in the posting if you are interested in adoption.

There are just two of us and we donate our time to animal welfare in addition to many other commitments. We work out of our homes. We are sometimes available to help people who need to rehome personal pets but we can rarely ever shelter additional pets. If we can help, our assistance lies in the nature of administrative support such as posting the animals on websites as a 'courtesy post'.

We prefer to adopt our pets to locals in the Greater Cincinnati Ohio & Northern Ky area.

Additional adoption info

We are F~L~E~X~I~B~L~E. We are honest about who are animals are & want to make a good match in our adoption process. We do not want our adopters to feel as though they are being hassled or having to jump through hoops (though some of our dogs will jump through hoops.) We are trying to make our adoption application as efficient & educational as possible. Issues like a fenced-in yard just depend on the dog. Unless so noted in the bio, cats may not be let outside. If the cat is not already declawed, that is not permitted by the new adopters. It is an amputation of the cat's bones & is linked to arthritis, litterbox aversion issues and it's just plain not a nice thing to do to a cat.


Our adoption fees vary based on the animal & the situation but are quite reasonable. We do not believe in 'free to good home' but we have adopted out dogs & cats with very economically sensitive adoption fees. Much of the time, the pets we rescue require vet attention (including spay/neuter) so we strive to recoup as much of our financial investment as we can. This way, we can continue to help the next pet in line.


We will help with referrals to other appropriate rescues if that is so desired by the pet-seeker!


Live long & pawsper!
