MEET THE PUPPIES! 🧡 We have so many gorgeous little faces waiting in the shelter for their new families to find them, so we thought we’d introduce you to them all!
•
First of all, we have the lab/retriever cross pups - in order of their photos we have Jessie, Rae, Joey, Angel and Chester. They were just one month old when they arrived at their shelter with their absolutely terrified mother. Now their independence and confidence has grown and thankfully they’re much more trusting than their mum. They need slightly more calm, patient homes, but they are fantastic with other dogs and just need a reassuring, kind home to nurture their sensitive souls.
•
Next up, the G pups - in order of their photos we have Gaia, Grant, Godfrey, Gilly, Grace, Gina and Gemma. They were terrified when they first arrived, but their confidence has come on so much in the past month, and they’re all developing their own individual personalities as they grow which is amazing to see.
•
And finally we have gorgeous Peanut, the last of her litter. She has unfortunately been left behind after all her siblings were adopted locally in Cyprus. She is now four months old and a gentle, playful and affectionate soul who just wants to find her person.
•
All of these puppies have full bios on our website. To register your interest, or for any enquiries, please contact [email protected] 💌

THANK YOU MADDIE! 🧡 We want to say a huge thank you to Maddie and Cindy, for raising the profile of Underdog International and the importance of adopting rescue dogs! Cindy has fostered a number of Underdogs for us over the years, and her granddaughter, Maddie, asked if she could do a talk at her local Brownies to spread the word.
•
Maddie gave out lots of stickers and business cards to encourage more young people to look into the charity and how they can support rescue dogs in the UK and overseas. We were really impressed at her initiative in organising such an important presentation, and are very proud of her for raising £30 among her group!
•
Well done Maddie (and Cindy!) - and thank you to the Brownies for their donation. No one is too small to make a difference! 🐶🌻

ADOPT REMI 🇬🇧 We’ve had practically zero interest in Remi since he arrived in the UK, which is surprising as this boy is an absolute diamond. He was brought to the shelter as a stray where he struggled as his sweet, submissive character meant that he was often the victim of bullying. We decided to bring him to the UK as a foster to improve his chances of being adopted, but sadly he’s still being overlooked.
•
Remi is just over a year old and is an English Pointer in every sense. He has nothing but love for everyone, he adores other dogs, he’s playful, adventurous, and loves to be active, and he’s very affectionate. He’s a goofy, lovable and very positive young dog and he’s really grown in confidence since arriving in foster.
•
Remi thrives in the company of other dogs, and with this in mind we’re looking for a home with a friend for him to play with, snuggle with, and steal toys from. He is less confident around young children, and prefers to keep his distance, so a home with children aged 10+ would be better for him.
•
Remi is a really balanced boy and has no problem keeping up on a long walk, but will then happily settle in the cafe or come home for a long nap on the sofa. He’s learned to adapt to new places quickly by following the lead of the resident dogs, and he’s made so many new friends. He’s currently in foster in Bedfordshire, but can be rehomed anywhere in the UK.

THEY’RE COMING HOME! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Right now we have sixteen Underdogs on their way to their new homes in the UK, all the way from Cyprus.
•
Joining the Underdog team today are Claudia, Celine, Aries, Jasper, Avi, Roo, Sweeney, Margot, Tara, Barney, Flori, Skittles, Esme, Mika, Rafa and Ellen. These dogs have spent anywhere between just a few weeks to over a year in the shelter, but they’re all finally getting the second chance they deserve.
•
A very special mention however goes to our sweet boy Avi, who has spent a whopping 578 days in the shelter, during which time he’s seen the shelter take in 485 new dogs! We are delighted that he’s finally going home after all this time.
•
As ever, a huge thank you goes to everyone involved in the intricate logistics of organising these flights, from our lovely vets, shelter partners, adopters and fosters, to our wonderful home checkers who make themselves as available as possible to help us get dogs home. We couldn’t do any of this without you 🩷

A Huge Thank You to Libby! 🐾💛

Recently, the wonderful Libby chose us as the charity for her Bat Mitzvah project and organised a bake sale in our honour. Through her hard work and generosity, she raised an incredible £210 to help dogs in need and support our therapy dog project.

Libby and her parents planned everything from start to finish, from the delicious bakes to a beautiful hand made banner and helped raise awareness for Underdog International. Seeing someone so young give up their time and energy for our cause means more to us than we can say. We hope you’ll take the time to congratulate Libby in the comments! 🐾

Libby, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You’ve made a real difference to the dogs and children we support. 🐶💕

Fancy fundraising for us too?
Whether it’s a bake sale, a sponsored walk, a school project, or something totally unique, we’d love to help you get started! Get in touch with us at [email protected] to start your fundraising journey
