In our case, we have two kids, and really wanted to make sure the dog was a good match before we introduced them. That model isn't a great fit for shelters where they (understandably) want the whole family to meet the dog, and won't place a hold to let grownups prescreen first. Not so with Underdog! We completed our initial form, had an email exchange, and then a video call, just grownups. There was no rush, and absolutely no pressure - such a wonderful difference from what we'd experienced elsewhere. Once we felt like this was a good fit, we included the kids. Our foster was incredible. She was responsive, caring, kind, and compassionate, and it totally opened our eyes to how this process can go when it is handled so skillfully. Moreover, she gave us a fabulous download of information, all super actionable and helpful. We came home with healthy, realistic expectations, and tons of tools and resources to get us started. All this is to say, thanks to Underdog, we got connected with our pup - and our family is completely in love.

I drove up to Lafayette so excited and MaryAnn was so wonderful! She was so great and took her time answering all my questions. After deciding that I was ready to take her home, MaryAnn accompanied me to the pet store to make sure I got all of Lulu's food etc. and to top it off I got a discount at Pet Food Express! I took Lulu home and I was super excited. She was so sweet and full of energy and did not want to leave my sight. She had separation anxiety & leash aggression that I got very overwhelmed. I was so overwhelmed that I called MaryAnn crying asking if I can give her back because I felt I couldn't give Lulu what she wanted me too. She was so understanding and she advised me to give Lulu another chance and this was all so new to Lulu and she was just as scared as I was. So I listened to MaryAnn's advise and I gave that precious little dog another chance. One year later I'm the most happiest person ever. She is the best little thing that could have happened to me. We go on runs together, many many walks, does well with other dogs. Lulu also gets to come to work with me and she's one of the most friendliest dogs in our office. She loves people and people adore her. I couldn't of done it without MaryAnn's help. Thank you so much MarryAnn! I can't believe it's almost been a year!

EBARR is an amazing and responsible rescue. I reached out to them for help after a dog that had…read morebeen courtesy pulled from CCAS by a dishonest networker was abandoned in my care after my foster agreement period had ended. Nicole spent several hours on the phone with me helping me understand the situation I was in and what steps I could take next. She gave me a lot of emotional support during an extremely stressful situation and helped me understand that I wasn't alone or responsible for how everything had been handled. Nicole was honest, compassionate, and genuinely concerned about both the dog and me. She didn't have to spend so much time helping me, but she did because she genuinely cares about animals and the people trying to help them. She has also continued advocating for accountability among specific CCAS networkers involved in pulling euthanasia listed dogs without sustainable plans, which can put dogs and the community at risk and leave fosters like myself in difficult situations. I really appreciate everything Nicole did for me. Based on my experience, I would absolutely recommend EBARR to anyone looking to adopt or foster a dog. They genuinely care about the animals in their care and are a rescue that operates with a lot of integrity.

We adopted our French Bulldog, Cookie, from EBARR, and our experience with Nicole and Karen has…read morebeen wonderful from beginning to end. Karen continued checking in with us after the adoption, which showed how much they genuinely care about the dogs they place. After about six months, Cookie unfortunately became aggressive toward our first fur baby. We tried everything we could to make things work, and both Karen and Nicole were incredibly supportive and helped us realize that, for everyone's safety, the situation was beyond fixing. They welcomed Cookie back without judgment and made a very difficult decision a little easier for us. We're still in touch, and I'm currently sponsoring Cookie while she is with Nicole waiting for the right only-dog home. It gives me peace of mind knowing that she is safe, loved, and being well cared for. I'm so grateful to EBARR for putting the dogs' well-being first, even when the circumstances are difficult. They truly care about finding the right home for every dog. I highly recommend EBARR to anyone looking to adopt and give a rescue dog a loving home.

My longtime friend 'big cat' passed away a few months ago. My husband asked if I had thought about…read moreadopting another. So I started casually looking. Meara, a 1 year old black cat was on the website and I was drawn to her so I went to meet her in person. It was Saturday and it was busy! Sandy was the only one working with cat adoptions that day and she was running! To be clear there were a ton of staff and volunteers, it was just busy. Sandy was friendly about the wait even as some other lady was being hella rude to her, mean people suck. Moving on. I filled out the visitor paperwork and liability release to meet her and looked at other animals while I waited. So many animals need forever homes! All different kinds of dogs and cats and some other animals too! Room after room of dogs, it's not time for 1 more dog at my house just yet but when it is, this is where I will be watching for her. When Cindy got to me she was so sweet and cared so much for all the cats. She knew specifics about Meara, she had obviously spent time with her. I filled out her paperwork and 25$ and an hour and a half later we were on our way home. The animals here have been seen by the vet, have their shots, have been neutered/spayed and have been chipped. If you are considering getting a new pet, or fostering one definitely look here first. I feel like it's the way to go for sure.
