Underdogs Rock! Rescue

We are a small Portland, Oregon based 501c3 organization rescuing dogs from the over crowded shelters in Southern California, Alabama, and Hawaii. We foster the dogs until they are healthy and help them find their forever homes! Contact us at [email protected] work directly with Rescue Groups in Southern California to rescue dogs who are on their last days in the high-kill shelters. Because our dogs are in Foster Homes we get to know the dogs personalities and needs. As we know the dogs well and how they do in a home environment, we do a great job in matching families with the right dog, and the right family for the dog!

Meet Haroo

Meet Haroo! Harro is a 10 year old chihuahua with an endearing snaggle tooth who is looking for his forever family, where he can share his golden years, but don’t underestimate his age - he’s got spunk and loves to play! He eagerly will paw at your hand to ask for more pets, and if it’s not cuddle time he’ll run to find his favorite toy or ball and bring it for you to play with him.   Haroo loves sitting in your lap, and gets along with amicable dogs who will respect his space and listen to his boundaries when this old man is in a grumpy mood. He walks well on leash, but can sometimes get spooked by people and loud noises. Before he was given up, he went to live in another home that wasn’t giving him any opportunities to go outside to potty, so in his foster home he’s been brushing up on his housetraining and is doing well! Having him wear a belly band inside as he adjusts to his new home will help set him up for success, but he’s a smart boy and picks up a routine quickly and does fine being left alone for a few hours too. He’s been through quite a lot in the past few months, but he has a big heart and is ready to find his forever people.   Haroo recently had a teeth cleaning and some teeth extracted and he's got a great healthy mouth now! He's up to date on all his vaccines and is microchipped too, he has a grade 2 luxating patella (loose knee) in one of his rear legs, but given his older age & it doesn't bother him and no surgery or meds are needed. His bloodwork came back excellent and he's a healthy Senior!!!   Haroo is part of our Elders of Underdogs & Senior for Senior Programs. For Seniors (65+) he can be adopted through our Program at $125.00 for everyone else his Elder adoption fee is $280.00 You MUST have an Underdogs Rock Rescue application on file to request a meet with an Underdog.
