What Underdog Rescue does
Mission
Underdog Rescue Ranch is a 501c3 foster-based dog rescue committed to providing a safe haven for homeless, neglected, and abused Metro Detroit dogs in need of a second chance at life. We protect and advocate for every dog in our care, provide animal welfare education and awareness to the community, and host adoption events for the voiceless dogs of Metro Detroit.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
With our foster program we were able to rescue 279 dogs from neglect, abuse, and severe medical cases. We spent over $140k on medical expenses for these dogs in order to find them a loving forever home.
