CHARLOTTE'S STORY
From the moment Charlotte arrived as an owner surrender, she faced a gauntlet of challenges that would leave many of us in despair. With a severe infection and a leg broken in two places, she underwent surgery that ultimately led to amputation.
But did this courageous little warrior let that define her? Absolutely not!
Within days, she was back on her paws, standing tall and striding forward into her bright new life. She has taught us to leap over obstacles with a grin and a wag! So let’s take a page from Charlotte’s playbook and “paws” to appreciate the beauty of life, one wag at a time!
During the 2026 Giving Challenge, you have the power to be the reason more pups like Charlotte get the care they desperately need.
Her smiles? Her spirit? Her second chance? It’s all because of donor support.
BE THE ONE who turns fear into safety. Pain into healing. And uncertain futures into second chances.
BE THE ONE. For dogs like Charlotte.
WE ARE A NON-PROFIT 501(C)3 ORGANIZATION.
We are an ALL VOLUNTEER rescue. Your donations go towards the vetting, safety and comfort of our rescues. We do not have a shelter. All UnderDogs are living in foster homes in the Bradenton, Sarasota and Venice area.
Your contributions will enable us to save more lives. Any amount is greatly appreciated.
Looking for a PAW-some way to make a difference?
Be a Rescue Foster!
We have been experiencing a DRASTIC increase in owner surrender requests and need more fosters.
The number of dogs we can save is LIMITED by the number number of FOSTER HOMES we have.
We do not have a physical shelter and depend on foster homes to care for dogs until their fur-ever families are found.
Please consider joining our Foster Volunteers! We need caring individuals who can provide a safe home for our rescue dogs. Fostering saves lives and fills your heart with wagging tails and wet noses.
Whether you're a seasoned pet owner or new to the world of fostering, we provide support every step of the way. Please consider fostering today!
As always, THANK YOU for your love and support throughout the years! We appreciate you!
