Story
Benji is a 5.5-year-old, 80 lb dog who has been a beloved part of our family since he was a puppy (a gift from my mom via a breeder). We are heartbroken to be rehoming him. Benji is so sweet, affectionate, loyal, and goofy, and loves being around his people. He thrives with attention, exercise, and structure. We’re seeking an experienced owner who can provide consistent training and a calm, confident environment. Benji can be anxious and easily spooked, so he must be kept on leash and needs help continuing his training. Benji has had a few incidents, including a dog fight where a person who intervened was bitten (unclear which dog), and an off-leash situation where Benji chased a small dog and knocked over its owner (not out of aggression, but due to not knowing his size/strength). He is strong and needs a capable handler. With four kids/teens in our home and a baby on the way, we can’t give Benji the extra support he deserves. We want a safe, loving home where he can thrive.

Story
Merlin is a 5 year old 80lb Shepard mix. We are a family of 5 with three boys ages 11, 15 and 17. Merlin has been in our family for 4 years. He was adopted from Milo foundation a 1 year old. He is a happy high energy dog that loves to chase sticks and roam. Despite a secure gat around our house he occasionally escapes when a door to the house is left open (there are several) or he finds an open gate. Despite a hike with me in the morning and one with a hired walker that knows him well he continues to escape. We live in a suburban community with many hiking trails but still have busy roads that pose a threat. He’s a free spirit that needs more space, maybe a job to keep him busy and a person or people to love him.

Story
Meet Chuck! Chuck is a 4 year old pit bull who weighs about 58 pounds, and we're still learning more about him in foster care. So far, he's been winning everyone over with his calm personality and sweet nature. His superpowers? Being gentle, making friends, and always wanting to be close to his people. Chuck loves his human companions, gets along well with other dogs (as you can see!), walks politely on leash, and is happiest when he's part of the action. Don't let his mellow demeanor fool you – when Chuck is especially happy, he celebrates with a burst of zoomies! We're continuing to learn more about Chuck, but he's already proving himself to be one incredible dog. Stay tuned for more updates!

Story
Maddie is the kind of dog who makes herself part of your world almost immediately. Whether she is curled up beside you on the couch, following you from room to room, or proudly showing off a new trick for treats, she just wants to be close to her people. Maddie has proven herself to be an incredibly loyal, affectionate companion with so much love to give. She is smart, eager to learn, and deeply connected to the humans she trusts. Her foster says she has a way of looking at you with her big adoring eyes that makes it impossible not to fall in love. Maddie is the perfect mix of adventure buddy and cuddle bug. She loves sniff walks, car rides, interactive toys, rolling around in the grass, and soaking up the sunshine, but she is just as happy tucked under a blanket beside you getting belly rubs. She is food-motivated, highly trainable, and already knows an impressive list of commands. Once she settles in, her easygoing and loving personality really shines. Like many underdogs, Maddie thrives with patience, routine, and connection. She would do best with someone who wants a true companion by their side and is excited to continue building her confidence and training. In return, she will give you unwavering loyalty, endless affection, and a best friend who will never let you feel alone. If Maddie sounds like the right fit for your family or you just want to learn more, email info@rescuetheunderdog or click "Apply for Adoption" to start our adoption application.

Story
Odette is a cheerful and spirited Belgian Malinois who loves the outdoors and can keep up with an active lifestyle. She is gentle and affectionate, often giving sweet kisses to her fosters and handling her treats and toys with care. Playful and social, Odette enjoys the company of other dogs when properly introduced. Odette thrives when she has a job to do and appreciates a home where her humans can delegate tasks to her. She loves to stay productive but also cherishes essential snuggle time. She is well-behaved in the house, enjoys cuddling on the couch, and sleeps on the bed near the pillow. However, Odette is not suited for first-time dog owners, homes with small children, small pets, or cats due to her high prey drive. A fence might slow her down, but it won't stop her from chasing critters. Belgian Malinois are historically herding animals and can make excellent guard dogs. Odette would thrive in a home with ample space to roam and attentive humans who can provide her with the mental and physical stimulation she needs. Additionally, Odette loves camping, making her an ideal companion for outdoor adventures. She is ready to begin her forever adventure.
