The Underdog Railroad

The Underdog Railroad is a partner of Best Friends, working together to save the lives of dogs and cats in communities like yours across the country

The Best Friends Network is made up of thousands of public and private shelters, rescue groups, spay/neuter organizations, and other animal welfare groups — all working to save the lives of dogs and cats in communities like yours across the country.

From The Underdog Railroad

Underdog Railroad es un transporte de rescate sin fines de lucro, basado en voluntarios, dedicado a transportar perros desde refugios superpoblados (aquellos en riesgo de ir a un refugio) hasta recibir refugios de rescate en áreas que tienen espacio para cuidarlos. Oregón, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Montana y Wyoming son nuestros principales destinos, aunque centramos nuestros transportes en Idaho, Utah. Desde su inicio en marzo de 2017, hemos transportado o enviado a rescatar a más de 1000 perros (5 gatitos y 1 conejo también) a un costo promedio de $10,48 por animal. Nos esforzamos por utilizar nuestros dólares donados lo mejor que podamos. Gracias por su apoyo a nuestra misión de ayudar a los perros a salir de los refugios abarrotados de California.

How is your community doing when it comes to lifesaving? 

Our partners support each other and inspire their own communities to increase lifesaving of dogs and cats across the country.

Every partner has one common goal: to save the lives of homeless pets.

How Is Your Community Doing?

Animals in California need your help

You can make a world of difference in the lives of cats and dogs in your community when you work with The Underdog Railroad and Best Friends to support homeless pets and save more lives.

Adopt a pet

When you adopt a homeless dog or cat you’re saving the life of a loving and loyal animal. You’re also making space for other pets to find families of their own.

Foster a pet

Fostering a pet is a short-term commitment with long-term impact. By opening your home to a dog or cat for even a few days, you can save lives.
