My story

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

Please note this dog is NOT an official Underdog dog, and you will be connected with the person who has the dog.

Please Contact (Current Owner of Dog):  Christopher Gorman; 847-254-9700; topherjgorman@gmail.com

MEET ATKA!!

Atka is a loving, energetic, and goofy dog with a big heart and an even bigger personality. He is affectionate, intelligent, and enjoys being close to his people, whether that’s chilling on the couch or joining them for runs and playtime. Crate trained and great in the car, Atka loves toys and thrives with regular exercise and attention. He does well with other dogs but will need slow, proper introductions. His experience with children and cats is currently unknown. Loyal and slightly protective of his home and people, Atka would do best in an active, committed home that can provide structure, enrichment, and plenty of love.

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.

More about this rescue

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.
