Florida Little Dog Rescue

Dog of the Week

Bongo is a 6 year old, male, silver poodle that weighs about 18 lbs. He's very loving and will want to be with you all the time. He loves to sit in your lap and watch TV or lie with you in bed and have his belly rubbed. He didn't have the best start in life, but with some patience and lots of love he will be the most wonderful boy you've ever met. He would love to be an only child so he can have all the attention and love he deserves. His foster mom and dad think he has such a big heart and given the chance would love to share it with you. Bongo is neutered, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Bongo is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $250

Welcome to Little Dog Rescue!

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 save the dogs.

What We Do

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 found before adoption. All medical information is fully disclosed to new owners. The dogs are placed in foster homes that provide love and patience to help the dogs adjust before being adopted. Their stays in foster care vary from several days to several months, depending upon the dog's condition and needs.

Unlike shelter or kennel living, fostering in a home environment allows the personal evaluation of each dog for behavior and temperament issues. We learn how our dogs react to other animals and children, if they are housetrained and what type of home/family would be best suited for them.

How We Do It

Little Dog Rescue is a division of Big Dog Rescue, a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation. We rescue dogs all over the state of Florida. Our volunteers live anywhere from Tallahassee to Naples. 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.
