About this shelter

Underhound Railroad in Greenville, ME

Underhound Railroad was established in 2009 by a group of friends dedicated to rescuing dogs at risk of euthanasia in Connecticut shelters. The organization has expanded its mission to include assistance in areas, particularly in the southern United States, where overcrowded shelters often lead to the unnecessary euthanization of adoptable dogs. Through a network of volunteers, Underhound Railroad works to prevent these outcomes by addressing medical needs, providing transportation, and connecting dogs with loving foster families as they transition to their permanent homes.

Adopting from Underhound Railroad

Adoption process

The adoption process involves several key steps: first, you will need to submit an application. Next, a home check will be conducted, and a veterinary reference will be required. Once your application is approved, you will participate in an interview and have a meet and greet with the pet. Following these steps, you will sign the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee.

Service area: We provide services throughout the entire state of Maine. Our rescue efforts focus on dogs from shelters in the southern region of the United States. These dogs are available in various locations across Maine, North Carolina, and South Carolina. For more information, please feel free to reach out to us.
