Rescue FAQs

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!
