My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ready to be your sidekick and forever friend, meet Tinkerbell! Tinkerbell is a 5 year old pittie with a sleek black coat that shines as brightly as her personality! She’s the perfect blend of calm and playfulness—enjoying running around a fenced yard playing catch by herself or eagerly waiting for someone to toss the ball for her. Inside, Tinkerbell is as chill as they come, thinking she’s a lapdog and loving to cuddle on the couch, giving her full attention to her humans.

Tinkerbell would thrive as the only dog in the home, but she can also get along with one other dog, especially if they're mild-mannered and respect her space. She gets a bit nervous when dogs rush at her too quickly, so slow and steady introductions are a must.

Tinkerbell loves meeting new people, and has even done well with kids. She’s already crate and house trained and has even completed a professional dog training program. Tinkerbell enjoys leisurely or brisk walks. Her favorite treats include yogurt, peanut butter, and anything delicious—except for veggies or fruits! She loves enrichment toys, especially Kongs stuffed with tasty goodies.

This sweet girl has come a long way from her rough beginnings. Tinkerbell was once a stray, uncatchable for 8 months, and gave birth underneath a shed before finally trusting enough to be rescued. Since then, she’s thrived in foster care and is now ready to find her forever family.

Tinkerbell’s adoption fee has been partially sponsored with $150 covered, so now’s the perfect time to bring her into your life! Apply for adoption today at https://underhoundrailroad.org/adoptionprocess/. Tinkerbell is currently fostered in Denver, North Carolina but can be transported along the East Coast, as far North as Maine. Come make her journey from rescue dog to forever home a reality!

We are a foster based rescue, only. We do not have a physical facility. Once your application has been approved, we will work with you to set up a meet and greet with your potential pet.

More about this rescue

Underhound Railroad was formed in 2009 by a group of friends, with the goal of rescuing innocent dogs from death row in Connecticut shelters. Underhound Railroad has now grown to include rescue communities in Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, North Carolina, South Carolina and Utah.

With our focus on rural areas where shelters are overflowing with abandoned dogs waiting to find rescue, our network of Underhound volunteers work hard to prevent undeserved deaths, see that medical, emotional and behavioral needs are tended to, and transportation as well as a loving foster family are provided to the pups on their journey to finding their forever homes!
