My story

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

Meet Our Adorable 8-Week-Old Scruffy Pitty Mix Puppies! Meet Oliver, the cutest black and white little boy!

This irresistible litter of six pint-sized pups is the perfect mix of spunky and sweet, with a heartbreaking beginning that makes their bright futures even more special. These babies, along with their 55-pound blue-and-white pitty mom, were dumped in a box overnight during a rainstorm at a local shelter. Thanks to quick action, they were brought into foster care immediately. Another rescue took two of their siblings, leaving these six little ones in our care.

What We Know About Them:
- Breed Guess: Mom is a gorgeous pitty, and while dad is a mystery, DNA tests are on the way! Their scruffy coats make us think dad might have been a poodle, terrier, or even a Jack Russell.
- Size: Currently 5 pounds, we estimate they’ll grow to be medium-sized, around 30 pounds when fully grown.
- Coat Colors**: Half the litter is black and white, and the other half is chocolate and white. Their short, stocky builds and scruffy fur make them utterly unique!

Why They’re Special:
These pups are full of personality—playful, curious, and full of life despite their rough start. They’re true blank slates, ready to learn and thrive with families who are prepared to provide love, structure, and training.

Ready for Homes Soon!
They’ll be ready to go home at the end of January once they’re spayed or neutered. However, they’ll need to finish their vaccine series over the next month before they can safely explore public spaces.

What They’re Looking For:
Committed Families: These puppies need adopters who understand the pitty breed and are committed to raising breed ambassadors. Ongoing training and socialization are a must to help them grow into confident, well-mannered adults.

Active Homes: They’re spunky and energetic, so they’d do best in homes with yards (no apartments) and ideally as second dogs to help them learn the ropes.

Training Plans: These pups haven’t had any formal training yet but are incredibly smart and eager to learn. Families with a training plan already in mind will set them up for success.

Why They’re Worth It:
These babies have already shown resilience and a will to thrive despite their rough beginnings. With the right love and guidance, they’ll leave their tough start far behind and grow into amazing companions.

Are You Ready to Meet Them?
If you’re ready to welcome one of these precious pups into your home, reach out today! Let’s give them the fresh start they deserve and show the world just how wonderful pitty mixes can be.

This version highlights their uniqueness, explains their needs clearly, and appeals to committed adopters who are ready to help these pups thrive!

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We have foster families throughout the Bay Area, spanning from Sacramento to Gilroy. All of our dogs are cared for in foster homes, as we do not yet have a physical facility—but we dream of one day saving animals without boundaries.

To ensure thoughtful and responsible adoptions, we do not host large adoption events. Instead, we prefer to showcase pets in their foster homes, where they feel most comfortable. After you apply, the foster family will reach out to discuss next steps, answer any questions, and arrange a meet-and-greet.

If your application is not chosen for a specific dog, we keep it on file for 90 days. During this time, you can email us to request your application be forwarded to other foster parents for dogs you may be interested in.

More about this rescue

Underdog Animal Rescue, our name pretty much sums us up. We are a registered 501c3 non-profit, volunteer operated nonprofit group dedicated to saving homeless and abandoned dogs from high kill and overcrowded shelters all over the state of California since 2014. We are an all-breed, size and age rescue, meaning we save many of the hardest to place, overbred such as pit bulls and chihuahuas. Our foster-based group lives and operates anywhere from Sacramento to Monterey. We literally give them another chance at life. We have saved over 3000 dogs since starting and we only plan to continue to grow.

When we rescue an animal, we place them in a foster home where they can decompress, learn to be a pet, socialized, spay/neutered, vaccinated, and treated for any medical or behavioral conditions which would otherwise limit their chances of adoption. We then actively network our dogs to find them the perfect forever loving home. Rescue is undoubtedly hard and trying work, but it is entirely worth it to see the life of a dog saved. As a rescue, we believe it is our duty to save the dogs that really need our help; the dogs that need a little TLC, a little medical care, or just someone to believe in them again. Therefore, we save the dogs that are on their last days at the shelter or haven't even been given a chance to be adopted by the public. As much as we love those sweet puppy eyes, we think more of saving their mommy’s and daddy’s that have been shoved to the back of the shelter awaiting their fate.

Thank you for seeing what we do and loving us for it. It’s only because of our outstanding community, foster families, and volunteers that we can continue our efforts, we are 100% donation funded and every penny counts toward a dog in need. Please consider getting involved- foster, adopt, volunteer, share, donate!

As a foster based rescue, Underdog places dogs in temporary foster homes where they can decompress and get the love and affection that they need. Dogs are also vaccinated, spayed/neutered and receive any other medical treatment needed before finding their forever home.
