Welcome to Rescue the Underdog

Every dog deserves a second chance. We save the ones most often overlooked, including seniors, the shy, the sick, and the abandoned, and give them safety, love, and a path to a forever home.

Our Rescue in Action

Rescue the Underdog, based in San Francisco, is an volunteer driven non-profit that saves dogs from high-kill shelters.

Many come from California’s Central Valley, often just hours before euthanasia. We step in where others cannot because every dog matters.
