We were prepared to drive from Minnesota to Indiana to bring home our rescue pup. Along the way we were lied to and tricked by two different rescue organizations that were both out of state. I changed my strategy and decided to confine our search to the twin cities area and fortunately came across Underdog Rescue. I'll admit I was cautious and skeptical because of the bad experiences we had, but I knew I had to look close to home. There is just too much risk to drive 10 hours to purchase a dog you have never even met. Coupled with the fact that they know nothing about whom they are releasing these dogs to. That is really a huge disservice to these animals whom have already been through so much. We highly recommend Underdog Rescue, they run their organization with great integrity and they take their responsibility of placing these animals in safe, loving homes very seriously. Every single step of our adoption process with Underdog Rescue was very well organized, with great communication/response time and everything moved along nicely. From the adoption coordinator, foster family, home visit consultant all whom work full time jobs and volunteer their spare time to place these animals in the loving homes they deserve. We can't thank Underdog Rescue enough for helping us give sweet Carmy (Tutti-Frutti) her forever home!!

Wow, what a wonderful shelter!!!…read more Rather than being in sad cages, all the cats are in rooms - some with other cats if they get along or need some socialization (and some alone if they are divas!) The rooms are all SUPER clean with lots of beds, perches, toys, litterboxes, etc. and the cats all looked very well cared for. They all got turns to come out of the rooms and explore the hallways for a while. The staff were great and very friendly. They knew a lot about the cats and who might be a good fit for the adopter - making sure that every kitty goes to a home that will let them thrive the most. If you are looking for a cat this is 100% a shelter you need to visit. You have to make an appointment but you will most likely have the place to yourself to get to know the cats. Well worth the extra bit of effort (we had recently gone to an adoption event at another shelter and it was so busy and most of the cats were off in "visiting rooms" so you couldn't meet them very well.

Rather than keeping the cats in kennels or cages, the cats can free roam within rooms that are specific to their personality type or medical conditions. There's a big main room for the social cats and kittens, another room for cats that are shy, a third room for cats with dietary restrictions/food sensitivities, and a fourth for kitties who are FeLV positive. The rooms have windows and beds and space for them to move around, which is so nice to see! This is a nonprofit no-kill shelter in a fairly small town so because they are volunteer based, they don't have long daily visiting hours. However you can rest assured that the cats get plenty of socialization and attention. These are very happy, very loved cats :) Staff here are also very active on social media so check out the Caring For Cats Facebook page to see all of the cats and their stories, to donate, or to participate in their fundraising events! If you're in the market for a fluffy new best friend, please consider making the trip CFC!

I wish I could give this organization zero stars, because unfortunately my experience as a foster…read morehas been very disappointing. I applied to become a foster and foster-to-adopt. From my experience, communication has been one of the most challenging aspects. Foster communication takes place primarily through a Facebook group/chat, and I found that some responses to questions or concerns were unnecessarily dismissive or discourteous. As a foster, I believe it is important to be able to ask questions and raise concerns without feeling uncomfortable doing so. One of my most concerning experiences involved being provided dog food that, according to the expiration date on the bag, was approximately 10 months past its expiration date. The bag appeared to have been opened and resealed with clear tape. When I expressed my concern about feeding it to my foster dogs, I was told that it was acceptable to use. I personally was not comfortable doing so, so I purchased food myself and returned the food that had been provided. I have also observed situations involving foster dogs with medical concerns where fosters appeared to have difficulty obtaining timely veterinary appointments. My understanding is that approval may be required before taking a foster dog to a veterinarian outside of the organization's designated veterinary provider. I found this process concerning, particularly when a dog may need prompt medical attention. Another concern I experienced was receiving veterinary-related guidance from individuals who, to my knowledge, were not veterinarians. In situations involving an animal's health, I believe fosters should have clear access to qualified veterinary professionals and should feel confident that medical concerns are being handled appropriately. I understand that rescue organizations have policies, limited resources, and procedures that fosters are expected to follow. However, fosters also have an important responsibility for the day-to-day care and well-being of the animals in their homes. Clear communication, respectful treatment, and timely access to appropriate veterinary care are extremely important. I am sharing this review based on my personal experience and what I personally observed as a foster. I encourage anyone considering fostering or adopting through this organization to ask questions about their communication procedures, food policies, veterinary protocols, and what support is available to fosters before making a commitment. Based on my experience, I would personally recommend researching other rescue organizations as well before deciding where to foster or adopt.

Anytime I've had trouble with Arlo I have been able to just text the foster family or the woman running the No Dogs Left Behind and ask for help or where to go. They truly care about the animals and they also care about placing them in a good home. I really would recommend them if you're looking to adopt an animal.
