Vida is the victim of puppy mill style breeding. She was bred for 7 years, then dumped. Typical to this situation, she's unvaccinated, has a long history of ear infections, needs a dental and has never had heartworm prevention. Her owners over-used pyrethrins on her skin which poisoned her system. She's safe now with us and being fostered with our doggie skin care expert. Her skin will heal and her hair will grow back, but it will take time. In addition to her medical needs, we are giving her the love she's missed. Vida is already beginning to trust and relax.

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.
