The Underdog Project

The Underdog Project A page dedicated to shining a spotlight on dogs who are overlooked in rescue due to their age, breed or medical condition- An Underdog❤️

Please take a moment to read🤎

In the beginning, I carried a lot of anger towards rescues, more than I did towards the community—because I just didn’t understand. I couldn’t wrap my head around how there could be lists of 30 dogs a day being euthanised.

Some of those dogs may have behavioural challenges, yes. But others? They’re losing their lives simply because of their breed, because they’re labelled “unrehomeable,” or because there just isn’t the funding or space to keep them long term. Rescues can’t sustain hundreds of dogs for life—it’s an impossible situation.

As I’ve started building this project, my perspective has shifted. The world we’re living in plays a role, but it doesn’t change the reality that people make choices every day—to neglect, to overbreed, to abandon. And those choices are what drive these numbers.

People often say we can’t adopt, spay, or neuter our way out of this crisis—and maybe that’s true. But it doesn’t change what’s happening right now. There are dogs sitting in kennels, running out of time, simply because there aren’t enough resources to keep them if they’re not adopted.

So this is where I’m choosing to put my energy.
I’m making it my mission to focus on the dogs in front of me—the ones who need a voice. The ones I can advocate for. The ones I’ve been trusted to help and given the opportunity to fight for.
Because at the end of the day, one life saved still matters.

I have so many incredible dogs waiting to be shared with you, and I can’t wait for you to meet them. But I can’t do this alone—and neither can the rescues.

If you’re able to help through donations—food, toys, cleaning supplies—it all makes a difference. If you’ve ever thought about fostering or adopting, please consider opening your home and your heart. And if that’s not possible, sharing and following this journey helps more than you know.

This is about building a community—for the overlooked, the long stays, the underdogs.

Thank you for being here 🐾🤎

Meet Brownie 🤎
For three long years — 1095 Days to be exact, Brownie has been waiting… watching other dogs find their forever homes while she’s been left behind. Through it all, she’s never lost her gentle spirit or her hope.

Brownie is a sweet, loving soul who just wants a warm bed, a safe place, and someone to call her own. She doesn’t ask for much—just comfort, kindness, and butt scratches!🥰
She’s been overlooked for far too long, and now she urgently needs a home where she can feel loved and secure.

Imagine being the person who changes her whole world… the one who finally says, “you’re home.”

Please don’t let her keep waiting. Share her story, open your heart, or help us find someone who will.

Please enquire or share now❤️🐾

Brownie deserves her happy ending 🐾

🐾 MEET BROWNIE

A gorgeous girl that’s been waiting 3 years for a home. The sad thing? Not a single application despite Brownie having so much love to give! 🥹

Brownie is around 7 years old and came all the way from Romania. She’s a lovely, gentle soul who is looking for a calm and understanding home where she can truly relax and be herself. She would really benefit from living with a resident dog to help guide her and build her confidence.

She can be unsure of men, so she’ll need patient adopters who are happy to go at her pace. Brownie would be best suited to a home with older, dog-savvy children who understand how to give her space when needed.

The good news? She absolutely loves butt scratches and treats (though she is currently on a bit of a weight-watch journey, so treats in moderation! 🍖). She can also be left alone for a few hours without worry.

Brownie is available for adoption by donation only - any amount- as the priority is simply finding her the right, loving home 💛

‼️Home checks apply but if not local these can be done via video call.

If you think you could offer Brownie the calm, kind home she deserves, please contact Bev on 07946208911

‼️FIRST URGENT UNDERDOG‼️URGENT HOME NEEDED‼️

Meet Blaze 💔
Blaze is an 8-year-old black German Shepherd who has been waiting far too long for his forever home… 19 months- that’s 578 days -without a SINGLE application. It’s hard to believe such a loyal, loving soul has been overlooked for so long.

Despite everything, Blaze hasn’t lost his spark. He absolutely lives for a game of fetch (a ball is his greatest joy 🎾), and when playtime is over, he’s happiest curled up beside you, soaking up all the cuddles and attention he can get.

Blaze is neutered and has passed all his health checks with flying colours. He does have a recent arthritis diagnosis, but don’t let that fool you - it certainly doesn’t slow him down or dampen his spirit.

He’s looking for a pet-only home where he can truly relax and feel safe. Blaze would do best in a home with adults or older children, and no cats. He can be reactive around other dogs, but he has been making amazing progress and just needs someone patient and understanding to continue supporting him.

All Blaze wants is a chance — a warm home, a kind heart, and someone to finally choose him.
After 578 days of waiting… could you be the one to change his life? ❤️

FOSTERING IS FREE BUT YOU MUST HAVE A SECURE GARDEN & BE ABLE TO COVER HIS FOOD AND GENERAL NEEDS UNDER RESCUE GUIDANCE

Blaze is based at Good Life Dog Rescue
Pinn Fold, Great North Road
Leeds
LS25 4AG

REHOMING FEE IS £350 WHICH INCLUDES;
Full vaccinations & health checks
A lead & collar
Microchipping
Flea & worming treatments

HOME CHECKS REQUIRED

UNDERDOG - hidden gem dogs who have been overlooked because of their breed, size, age or medical needs. These dogs deserve just as much love and the chance to experience life outside of a kennel❤️

17/03/2026

Thank you so much to everyone who has followed and supported The Underdog Project so far. Even though the page is just getting started, every follow and share genuinely means a lot.

I’m pleased to announce that I’m teaming up with local rescues to shine a spotlight on the dogs who don’t always get noticed — the long stay residents who due to their age, breed or medical conditions are often overlooked.

Through photos, stories, and real moments, I want to help people see what makes each of these dogs special… and hopefully help them find the homes they’ve been waiting for.

If you love dogs, believe every one deserves a chance, or just want to help make a difference — please follow the page, share the posts, and be part of something meaningful.

Every follow/share is appreciated and could help a rescue dog 🐾
