So You Want To Adopt Your New Best Friend

Underdog Salvation will consider adoptive families in the state of Indiana only. Our goal is to make the best rescue match taking into consideration the animal's background and your family's needs. Every animal is different: personality, temperament, energy, comfort with kids and other animals, medical needs and more. We take all these factors into consideration when making a forever-home match. We are very careful about the placements we make. We do our best to match the right animal with the right adoptive home because we want this to be the pet's permanent home.

If you are willing to wait for the right animal to be matched to you,
you are an ideal candidate for Underdog Salvation. As our success rate proves, these precious animals are well worth the wait.
