  The success stories are our favorite part. Each dog that is placed on this page lets us know that we are doing our jobs. Each dog that is placed on this page makes room for yet another dog to go into a foster home.

Below are some of the success stories of dogs that have been adopted through Underdog ResQ. We ask each adoption family to keep in touch and send photos of their new companions with their new families.

Teddy's Success Story
We knew Teddy would be popular because of his breed, size and personality and he was! But, his foster parents couldn't let go of him and invited him to be a permanent part of the family along with their 1 years old Lab. Teddy was adopted in March of 2013 shortly after he was admitted.

Name:  Isis
Breed:  Pit Bull
Age:  2 years
Sex:  Female

Isis's Success Story
A note from Isis' foster mom:

Isis is a beautiful blue brindle female of about 2 years old that was "rescued" from her owner as part of a cruelty case. While her puppies we kept and offered up for adoption, she was handed over to a shelter with an "euthanasia" request. Fortunate for Isis this shelter saw the beauty this little girl possessed! They evaluated her, deemed her very much adoptable and reached out to local rescues to see if anyone could save her. Underdog Resq stepped up and rescued this pretty girl. For a little over 3 months Isis lived with me as my foster dog. Here she had a foster feline sister and two foster canine brothers. From the moment Isis got in my car when I picked her up to take her home, I knew she was a special dog. She was so mellow and just kind of went with the flow of life. Isis was an awesome big sister to her two little canine brothers and she never really cared about her feline sister. She was a pleasure to have! After what had seemed like quite some time, Isis finally got an application, one that seemed to be THE perfect application.... I was hopeful! Doing home visits is always a little nerving... I never know what to expect, who to expect.... as I entered the home of Amanda and Todd, I couldn't help but smile and feel 100% comfortable, I kept repeating to myself "this family is awesome". Within a couple days, Isis was on her way to her new home!! There she lives with her new Mommy and Daddy, Grandparents (which I'm sure spoil her) feline sister and big brother Loki. One of the fantastic outcomes of this adoption, is not only did Isis find her forever home, but I found some forever friends. It's true treat to be able to keep in touch with Amanda (her Mom). Amanda said something to me a week or two after she adopted Isis, she said "I can't imagine our life without her"... that is the greatest thing an adoptive parent has ever said to me.... how rewarding!!

A note from Isis' new Mommy, Amanda:

"Just wanted to let everybody at Underdog Resq know how awesome Isis is doing! We've had her a little over a month now, and she has adjusted to everything perfectly! Her and her brother Loki have become inseparable! Her new favorite thing to do is lay on top of him. We've gone on adventures to multiple pet stores, and tons of trail walks! We even brought her to a Pitbull Awareness event in Sanford, ME a couple weekends ago.

We have also started some off leash training in our yard and she's picking up on all the commands pretty fast! She has quite a few commands down already; "sit" "stay" "lay down" "no begging" "on your bed"..well we're still working on the "on your bed", she likes our bed more than hers! Isis has been the perfect addition to our family, her and Loki tire each other out everyday running around our yard, and cuddle up together every night. She wants to do nothing more than give kisses and lay in our laps the second we sit down. We couldn't have asked for a better pup!"

Name:  Cora
Breed:  pit bull mix
Age:  Est. DOB 5/11/11
Sex:  Female

Cora's Success Story
Cora was born with 7 other brothers and sisters in May of 2011 into a city shelter. Underdog ResQ stepped in to help by putting all 7 puppies into secure and loving foster homes. She thrived in her foster home, but really needed a home of her very own to grow up into the confident and sweet dog she is today.


Cora found her home in an awesome family who loves her a great deal and continues to teach her to be an ambassador of her breed. She shares her life with two adorable twin human sisters who teach her patience and love.

Here is a recent picture and a note from her family.


Just thought I would send another picture your way and let you know that

Cora is doing wonderful. We love her so much. She is so loving and

caring. She and the girls are best friends. She loves to snuggle and

she enjoys going on 3.5 mile walks with Jason every day. She is very

active and loves her daily schedule. Hope all is well! Take care.

Name:  Bruno
Breed:  Pit Bull Mix
Age:  Est. DOB 5/11/11
Sex:  Male

Bruno's Success Story
Bruno is one of 8 pit bulls from a litter that Underdog ResQ admitted to help get them out of a cage and into a home. He was adopted 3 months later at the age of 5 months. Bruno is very friendly and well socialized with people, kids, and other animals, such as dogs and cats. He loves to play and is very well trained. His new home, as of 9/30/11, is with a lovely young couple, whom have recently purchased their first home. They have a wonderful home with a nice big yard, beautiful deck, and easy access to the park areas. Each of his new owners has previously owned dogs and is very dedicated to their new addition, Bruno. Like most true pet lovers, Bruno has become one of the family in this case. His success in finding a good home will always be remembered

Name:  Finn
Breed:  Pit bull
Age:  5-6 months (on 5/31/11)
Sex:  Male

Finn's Success Story
At the age of 5 months Finn was found as a stray dog that had been hit by a car. As a result, one of his front legs needed to be amputated. He maintained his laid-back and loving personality and it only took about a month to find him a forever home in July of 2011. In October of 2011 we received a great update from his new owner:

I've been meaning to write you for a while to let you know how Finn is doing. He's a happy puppy over 50lbs now! I take him to a dog park in Sharon each weekend and I have some friends with dogs and he gets along very well with them.

He spent a lot of his summer playing in the yard and hanging out in his pool :) He's doing pretty well adjusting to my work schedule. And with the cooler weather he's the best heater at night! :)

Attached are a couple of pictures. Thank you for all you did for Finn and me.

 Common misconceptions
 before adopting a dog:
1. We’re getting Rex for the kids - they will do all the work.

Maybe for the first week or so, but most kids will slack off soon enough and the responsibility will fall on your laps. You are considered to be the owner because you are over the age of 21. If your kids do not walk Rex, then it is up to you that it gets done. As much as we talk to our kids about responsibility and as much as they agree to care for your new dog, we all know that sooner or later most kids will lose interest or get tired.

If you can positively answer these questions and concerns, then you may be ready to adopt Rex.
