Underdog Pet Rescue of Wisconsin Madison, Wisconsin

Great place, loved working with them. We got 2 kittens that have been the greatest! I really liked that all animals were with fosters too.

Absolutely amazing organization. We adopted out 2 cats from them. They have amazing fosters and great staff.

I adopted Otto (formerly Blanco) from here!! He is a bundle of joy and has brought lots of light into my life. Going through this service was a breeze!! It was quick, and very easy. I worked with Kristen, one of the foster moms, and she did an excellent job taking care of me and making sure everything was taken care of. Couldn't recommend this place more!

I fostered for Underdog. Their vet care was super slow and poor quality. Fosters gave my dogs giardia because the rescue included incorrect doses of medication and I had to wait two weeks to get the correct dosage. Their foster "training" was long and poorly designed (I say this as a professional instructional designer). Now someone I know wants to foster and the organization is making all members of the co op house take the badly designed long training. The co op members unanimously approved this person to foster but apparently Underdog's bureaucratic hoops are more important than having good fosters.

Love them We have a wonderful boy

Both Underdog staff and my kitten's foster home were very responsive. Kitten was well socialized by the time I brought her home. Adoption was $150 which included all medical care and spay. Underdog also partners with local pet supply stores to include vouchers in their adoption package, so I was able to get over $100 worth of supplies just by taking a few minutes to drive to their partners. Awesome idea to encourage adoptions!

Underdog helped my cat when she had an emergency urinary issue. When they didn't have the equipment necessary to investigate her issue further, they quickly assisted in getting us referred to the UW Vet school. I'm very grateful for their help.

This was our first ever adoption of kittens and I would have to say under dog was very responsive and professional and they really care about their animals that come too them. We just adopted these 2 adorable crazy kittens. Thank you under dog for everything you do to help these animals.

We've adopted four family members through Underdog Pet Rescue. Every fosterer has been animal-focused and obviously dedicated. We've been made to feel welcome, too. The adoption process is logical and easy. We adore being able to give them a forever home and feel supported by Underdog throughout.

We LOVE Underdog! We adopted our wonderful dog (seriously, the world's greatest!) from Underdog earlier this year and we've used their vet services for her and for our previous dog, who sadly passed away last summer at the ripe old age of 15. They helped us through the challenges related to our previous eldery dog—helping her stay comfortable and guiding us through the decision to put her down (and recommending Journeys Home—who are also amazing—for at-home euthanasia services, which was a peaceful way to say goodbye.) We live nearby and it's so nice to walk over for visits. Costs are so, so reasonable and the care has been really good. You can tell the staff know what they are doing and also truly love animals.

I couldn’t be happier with Underdog. They were amazing in every aspect of the adoption. My dogs foster mom was also just amazing. For a first time dog mom, I can’t express how pleased I was to work with Underdog, I recommend them to everyone I know that is interested in adopting. Thank you Underdog for an amazing experience and amazing fur baby!!!

Love Dr. Teeter - she takes care of our 4-legged kids as if they were her own. She’s amazing.

We had applied for many possible dogs through underdog pet rescue, they knew when the right dog was for us. The follow up to how things were going and the living and care for the sweet puppy I adopted was unprecedented. I see some of these negative reviews are because people are upset that they didn’t get the pet they wanted. When the right pet is for you it will happen! And underdog does an amazing job to ensure that it works out for both of you.

We just adopted our new puppy, who we have named Violet, through Underdog. They processed our application so much quicker than I expected, that we ended up adopting her 2 days after I submitted the application. I then had some questions for them about donating old dog stuff, and they responded super quickly. Despite how quickly everything was processed, they seemed pretty concerned with the family and the dog being a good match and I felt very thoroughly vetted. I appreciate that they care so deeply for these animals finding their forever homes. I would go through them again, and would highly recommend them to anyone else.

I had to put the most beautiful cat I have ever seen down yesterday. The Dr. was so incredibly kind and reassured me that putting her down was the most loving and humane thing to do and that it wasn't too soon because she was suffering. She also thanked me for loving her and taking care of her. I really needed that kindness and to be comforted more than I knew. They got me in quickly, helped me carry things (because I had to bring my baby with) and even gave me a hug after. The Dr. gently cleaned the blood from the injection site, after my cat had passed. She showed us so much empathy and compassion. I feel very lonely without the cat I called Kitten, but with Underdog's help I know I made the right choice and my guilt is subsiding. Thank you!

I have 2 kittens and a dog from Underdog and I use their Vet too. They are the best! The foster's are so caring and easy to work with.

We adopted our boy fr here in April of 2016, he's been the greatest pup I could ever imagine, a family favorite who loves to talk and snuggle his little baby sister. Absolutely love underdog and would adopt from again!

Very responsive and easy to work with. The ferret I originally applied for had already found a home and they contacted me when another came up for adoption. They accommodated my difficult schedule for our meet up. The adoption process was really easy.

Lots of dogs but everyone i looked at has a long waiting list. I never realized how hard it is to adopt.

application process was straight forward, easy and affordable. We have a beautiful new addition to our family!

Adopted our second dog thru Underdog and I would definitely consider them again, in the future!

They don't just rescue dogs. Great group of volunteers.

We got a wonderful dog through Underdog Pet Rescue in November of 2020. Then my parents adopted a cat in January of 2021. They're careful to make sure their animals go to a good home.

The staff was so rude. Not professional. Would never want to deal with this business. It was all about your money and not about the dog at all. Tried talking to them multiple times and each time I dealt with the most uneducated and rude people, supposedly trying to find ???? for these wonderful dog's. Would never do business with them EVER.

I was very happy with the vet& service.

Have gotten two dogs now from underdog. They have a good system and animals come cared for

answers questions no problem.great reviews of people adopting pets

We've had a very positive experience getting our first puppy thru Underdog. I can't really think of anything they could have done better. It feels good to rescue a dog too.

I adopted smokey from underdog! He’s amazing! Underdog staff are very friendly and helpful, thank you!

Great service and great rescue. Highly recommended. They include more than most other rescues and really do care to find these animals their forever homes.
