My name is Ivy!

Standard adoption fee is $390. Process involves an application, reference check, and home visit, which generally is completed within a week. In some cases, potential adopters may take animals home from adoption events after signing a foster to adopt agreement/waiver and providing photo ID. A home visit will then occur within the next 1-2 weeks, at which time the adoption may be finalized. All adoption fees are payable in cash and support the further activities of the rescue, which include veterinary care, food and supplies, and promotional and administrative expenses.

Underdog Railway Rescue does not have a shelter facility. All animals are cared for in volunteer foster homes. Animals may be viewed at adoption events, or by appointment. A completed adoption application is required for non-event appointments. Underdog Railway Rescue pulls deserving, adoptable animals from kill shelters primarily in the Chicago area. Foster homes and other volunteers are always welcome!
