Meet Jerry – Our Longest Resident Still Waiting for His Forever Family
Jerry is a 16-month-old, 55-pound Shepherd mix with the heart of a hero and the soul of a best friend. He’s been overlooked for far too long, and we know his perfect match is out there.
Why consider Jerry?
• Dog-friendly
• Great with kids and adults
• Currently fostered in a home with other dogs and children
• Potty trained
• Crate training in progress
• Excellent on leash
• Smart, eager to please, and very trainable
• Comes with four free professional training sessions
• Not suited for homes with cats
Jerry is an affectionate, social, and silly pup who loves people and playtime but also knows how to settle down and relax. Whether you’re headed out for a hike, a jog, or a drive to the kids’ soccer game—Jerry’s your guy. He loves car rides, outdoor activities, and tagging along to family events. He would likely do great at dog parks and would thrive with an active family that includes him in their adventures.
Jerry lives on a clean, rigid prescription diet due to a recent IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) diagnosis—but don’t let that deter you. His foster family has found it easy to manage, and Jerry is thriving. Outside of that, he’s a healthy, happy young dog who has already overcome a great deal, including two surgeries.
He would do best with a home experienced with working breeds—someone who understands the value of structure and consistency. With the right support, Jerry could also make an incredible Emotional Support Animal (ESA). He’s sensitive, deeply bonded to his people, and eager to connect.
Jerry has waited long enough. He’s truly a gem of a dog, ready to be someone’s adventure buddy, jogging partner, or couch movie companion.

We have foster families throughout the Bay Area, spanning from Sacramento to Gilroy. All of our dogs are cared for in foster homes, as we do not yet have a physical facility—but we dream of one day saving animals without boundaries.
To ensure thoughtful and responsible adoptions, we do not host large adoption events. Instead, we prefer to showcase pets in their foster homes, where they feel most comfortable. After you apply, the foster family will reach out to discuss next steps, answer any questions, and arrange a meet-and-greet.
If your application is not chosen for a specific dog, we keep it on file for 90 days. During this time, you can email us to request your application be forwarded to other foster parents for dogs you may be interested in.

More about this rescue
Underdog Animal Rescue, our name pretty much sums us up. We are a registered 501c3 non-profit, volunteer operated nonprofit group dedicated to saving homeless and abandoned dogs from high kill and overcrowded shelters all over the state of California since 2014. We are an all-breed, size and age rescue, meaning we save many of the hardest to place, overbred such as pit bulls and chihuahuas. Our foster-based group lives and operates anywhere from Sacramento to Monterey. We literally give them another chance at life. We have saved over 3000 dogs since starting and we only plan to continue to grow.
When we rescue an animal, we place them in a foster home where they can decompress, learn to be a pet, socialized, spay/neutered, vaccinated, and treated for any medical or behavioral conditions which would otherwise limit their chances of adoption. We then actively network our dogs to find them the perfect forever loving home. Rescue is undoubtedly hard and trying work, but it is entirely worth it to see the life of a dog saved. As a rescue, we believe it is our duty to save the dogs that really need our help; the dogs that need a little TLC, a little medical care, or just someone to believe in them again. Therefore, we save the dogs that are on their last days at the shelter or haven't even been given a chance to be adopted by the public. As much as we love those sweet puppy eyes, we think more of saving their mommy’s and daddy’s that have been shoved to the back of the shelter awaiting their fate.
Thank you for seeing what we do and loving us for it. It’s only because of our outstanding community, foster families, and volunteers that we can continue our efforts, we are 100% donation funded and every penny counts toward a dog in need. Please consider getting involved- foster, adopt, volunteer, share, donate!
As a foster based rescue, Underdog places dogs in temporary foster homes where they can decompress and get the love and affection that they need. Dogs are also vaccinated, spayed/neutered and receive any other medical treatment needed before finding their forever home.
