We just need to take a minute and give a shout out to one of the members of our FLDR team! This is Caitlin, (Laurie's daughter) she's an FLDR foster mom and volunteer, with Dr. Mugford, the dog trainer for the Queen of England. She was blessed with the opportunity to meet him at Global Pet Expo researching her column for Urban Pet Magazine and talk with him for a while. He said he was very impressed with her, and could not wait to watch her grow, because she was going to do amazing things with dogs - he could just tell:) Be sure to check out her column in the next issue - she asked him what the ONE most important thing is for kids to know about training dogs:)

Save a Dog on Death Row!
Many need YOUR help right now!!
| |
|
|
Please help us save dogs on Death Row at local Animal Controls. These are dogs that can't be adopted out directly from Animal Control, mainly for medical reasons. When they can't be adopted, they need a rescue to save them when their time runs out. These pups desperately need our help, we are their last hope!

Lincoln is a 1 year old male yorkie/maltese mix and he weighs just about 10 pounds! Lincoln's foster mom says: "He is a very sweet dog, with a great disposition once he warms up to you, but he can be shy and standoffish at first, until he realizes you are his friend! He's not much of a "lap dog" but he does occasionally come up to give me kisses. He loves dinner time, and is a good eater. He is starting to play more with the other pups here, and has picked up a couple of toys and played with them - sometimes even throwing them up in the air to himself! He does sometimes get involved in the "lightning races" in the back yard with the other dogs too. He has only had a couple accidents, and is doing well on housetraining over all! I wouldn't recommend small kids with him, but older ones should be fine! He is a very sweet and loyal boy, but is independent too. He sometimes plays hard and zips around the yard, so a fenced yard would be ideal!" Lincoln is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned! He is fostered in the Orlando area, and his adoption donation is $250.

Welcome to Florida Little Dog Rescue Group!
Florida Little Dog Rescue rehabilitates unwanted, abused and abandoned little dogs and places them in loving and responsible homes to live out their lives as cherished family members. We would love for you to join us by adopting a dog, volunteering as a foster home or donating money to help save the dogs. We are a 501(c)3 Charitable Organization, and all donations to FLDRG are tax deductible!
Florida Little Dog Rescue Group rescues dogs from all over the state of Florida, but our main focus is the Central Florida area. Our volunteers live anywhere from Tallahassee to Tampa, but almost all of our dogs are fostered in the Orlando area. We are 100% volunteer-based, which means no overhead or salary costs. Your donation is used directly for dog care. We do not receive government funds. We are entirely supported by charitable donations.
We ensure that each dog is spayed/neutered, vaccinated, tested for heartworms and other parasites, examined by a vet and treated for any known conditions prior to adoption. All known medical information is fully disclosed to new families. While awaiting adoption, the dogs live in foster homes that provide love, patience and TLC to the pups! A pup's stay in foster care could vary from several days to several weeks, depending upon the dog's conditions and needs. Unlike shelter or kennel living, fostering the pups in a home environment allows us to personally evaluate each dog for behavior and temperament issues. We are able to see how they interact and react to other animals and children, if they are house trained, like to go for walks, play ball, etc. and that makes it easier to know what type of home/family would be best suited for them!
