My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

MEET BRUCE!

Bruce is a 5-year-old brindle mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He’s house trained, food-motivated, and knows all the basics like “sit,” “down,” “stay,” and “place.” While he’s not the cuddly type, Bruce is incredibly loyal and always excited to see his people — complete with happy tail wags and enthusiastic jumps (watch out, he doesn’t quite realize how hefty he is!).

This goofy guy has some funny habits, like gently nibbling on couch cushions (no damage — just a quirk!) and rolling around on his back with his tongue out like a clown. He loves car rides, is great at playing catch, and keeps his foster laughing with his expressive, sometimes bashful looks.

Bruce is calm and well-behaved at home, even when left alone, but he can be protective and reactive on walks. He’s best walked during quieter hours, and he needs an owner who can handle his strength and guide him with confidence. Bruce should be the only pet in the home and is not a match for cats, small animals, or young kids due to his size and sensitivity to fast movements.

Bruce Would Thrive In a Home With:
• No other pets or young children
• A calm, quiet household with minimal visitors
• A secure, fenced yard (6 ft required)
• An experienced dog owner comfortable with reactivity and continued training
• Patience, structure, and room for him to be his goofy, loyal self

Bruce is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to find a home that will appreciate all his unique qualities.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All potential adopters will be required to complete our Adoption Application, read and sign our Adopting Policies and Procedures, and participate in a home visit by one of our adoption representatives. Our Adoption Application is located on our website: www.underdogaz.com.

We also have a mandatory two-week Foster With Intent to Adopt trial period for all animals in order to be certain the pet is a good fit for your family.

Our standard adoption fee for dogs is $200; puppies are $250.

Non-standard fees do sometimes apply. Puppies younger than six months may have a higher fee. Designer dogs, purebreds, and other toy type breeds may also have higher adoption fees than the standard $200.

We do, however, have discounted fees for dogs that are seniors, a pair of dogs adopted together, or cats. If you are a veteran or an active duty service member, please ask about our partnership with Pets For Patriots.

All Underdog pets are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped prior to adoption.

We are a 501c3 non profit, your donations save lives and are 100% tax deductible.

Go meet their pets

We attend multiple adoption events throughout the valley during Spring and Fall.
If you are interested in a specific pet, please complete our adoption application found on our website and we can then coordinate a meet and greet.

Underdog Rescue of Az is an all volunteer organization dedicated to the rescuing and re-homing of abandoned and/or abused dogs.

We are a foster-based rescue, and do not maintain a physical base of operations. All of our animals are placed with loving, caring safe foster families until they are adopted. We are also an "All Breed" rescue, and do not discriminate based on breed, age, size, etc.

Underdog's mission also includes educating the public on the issue of animal welfare. We strive to promote shelter reform, spay and neuter education and emergency rescue information & assistance.
