Help us help them! All local Animal Controls are OVERFLOWING right now, and they need the kind of dogs FLDR rescues - the "unadoptables" - to leave ASAP!! The faces above are just a handful of the "Please Rescue Me" requests we have already received this week!!! We are trying to save as many as we can, but we need YOUR help! We need funds to pay for their vetting, as we take the medically needy pups, and we need fosters to give them a safe place to stay while they recover and get ready for a forever home. Can you help? If you can foster, it is a 2-4 week commitment, and you just need to complete the adoption application here on the website, and put in comments "want to foster". If you can foster, please consider donating! You can use the PayPal link below, or mail a check to our PO Box, 702364, St. Cloud, FL 34772. Thank you!!!

Surrender Season is Here:(
Rescuers often refer to summer as "Surrender Season". This is one of the busiest times of year at Animal Control, as dogs seem to be surrendered in record numbers - reasons vary from people going on vacation and not wanting their dog anymore, to that Christmas puppy is now an older puppy that needs more work and training. Whatever the case, shelter intake is high, and adoptions are usually slower. This means their requests to rescues increase dramatically. Our "Season" started this week with requests and urgent pleas to take in over 30 dogs. With fundraising being slow this time of year, and many fosters going on summer vacations like everyone else, it creates a "perfect storm", and a heavy weight on our intake team. This week alone we have taken in 17 puppers, but had to sadly leave just as many behind. We would love to help more, but FLDR is "maxxed" out, both with funds and fosters. Please consider lending a helping paw - we could us foster home to help these puppers have a safe place to land. It's a 2-4 week commitment, and it literally saves a life! If you can't foster, please donate to help us with these pups. FLDR takes in the unadoptable and medically needy pups from animal control and the vet expenses almost always exceed the adoption donations. Together we can help these puppers have a chance at the life they deserve as loved, cherished family members! Thank you!!!!

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!

Albert is a 5 year old male yorkie/crested mix and he weighs 6 pounds. Albert is a sweet guy who loves his people! Typical yorkie or crested personality, he can be protective of his people, so he needs to have clear rules as to when that is OK and not OK. He gets along well with the other foster pups in his home, but doesn't handle the brashness of a strong alpha, so he would do best in a home without one. He is fine with older kids (14+), but younger ones make him a bit nervous. He is crate trained, and housetrained on a schedule, and prefers to spend as much time as possible with his people, so a home where he is alone long days wouldn't suit him very well. Albert listens when you talk to him, and tilts his head in the cutest way, as if to say "Yes, please keep telling me how much you love me!" He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heart worm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned! Albert 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!
