We've found our NEW HOME!

Join us by supporting our Forever Home Campaign

For the past two years, Underdog has been dedicating our fundraising efforts to make a move into a larger space possible. Having a new home will increase our life saving impact. Added veterinary space, a parking lot, and training space will allow us to to rescue more animals and help more people and pets in our community.  

Anyone who has kept an eye on the real estate market over the past year knows what a difficult market it is for buyers. We found that it was perhaps even trickier trying to find a commercial property under a million dollars to call our home. As some of you may remember, we found a property in McFarland early in 2022, and unfortunately, that was the only property our bank saw NOT appraise out close to the sale price value. We had to walk away from that option and go back to the drawing board. 

 

We're proud to announce that we've found a property that will fit our needs! Being in Madison, near the Beltline and with bus route access, we will be able to better serve our foster parents and clients who use our veterinary services. We've now closed on the building located at 2508 S Stoughton Rd in Madison, we we can't wait to move in and call it our own. Our new forever home is a bit of a fixer upper, and our vet services will remain at our 231 S Fair Oaks Ave location in Madison while we get the new place move-in ready. 

 

Underdog is firmly committed to saving the lives of true Underdogs: shelter animals who truly need our help to survive and thrive. We don’t receive any state or government funding. We rely on the generosity of our donors and community partners to cover our overhead costs that our adoption fees don’t cover. Thanks to our amazing supporters, we've raised enough donations to the critical step of acquiring a building that met Underdog’s needs. We are finally positioned to deliver our mission more broadly and in the way that best benefits our community. Now that Underdog's "forever home" is finally a reality, we must pivot and focus on the new challenges ahead. Those challenges include necessary renovations and remodeling of the building, as well as specific equipment needs.

 

Here are the various ways that you can help Underdog address the costs needed to meet these challenges and build a bright future for more animals!
