GIVING TUESDAY!!

TLDR: It's Giving Tuesday we want to save pups, please help, thanks.

It's #GivingTuesday!!!! Black Friday is over, Small Business Saturday was a smash, Cyber Monday is done, and now it’s a day celebrating the true spirit of the season - LOVE and GIVING! #GivingTuesday harnesses the potential of social media and the generosity of people around the world to bring about real change in their communities; it provides a platform for them to encourage the donation of time, resources and talents to address local challenges. It also brings together the collective power of a unique blend of partners— nonprofits, civic organizations, businesses and corporations, as well as families and individuals—to encourage and amplify small acts of kindness. Say, like saving a pup's life. Or helping a pup get the medical care they need for an injury, like a broken leg and paw. Or helping a senior pup find comfort in a loving foster home to live out whatever time they have left. Acts of kindness that truly and profoundly change and directly impact and save lives! If there’s one thing that’s a given, FLDR LOVES saving lives and we all KNOW how much MamaJan just loves “shopping” trips at animal shelters to load up with an SUV full of pups getting their freedom rides!!

FLDR is blessed to have an amazing supporter who loves saving pups as much as we do AND he also loves challenges - so he is challenging us to have our most successful Giving Tuesday yet - and he is willing to match our donations!!

Please, please consider making a donation this #GivingTuesday and lending a helping paw to some of our awesome pups. We would love to be able to go to animal control and "shop" and save some more pups, and get them homes for the holidays. YOU can help us do that, by donating right here on this post, or using any of the links on our website.

So click the donate button right here or any of the donation links and make a donation! EVERY donation helps!!! YOU can make a HUGE difference in the life of a pup ~ sometimes it’s literally ALL the difference. Please like, share on socials, send a telegram, make a call, spread the word, SAVE A LIFE. Thank you!!!

Kelsie, a Maltese mix

Meet Kelsie! Kelsie is a very sweet, 3-4 year old, 9 pound Maltese mix! She arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many pups that could not properly care for them. Her foster mom says: She is quite timid and shy, but not the least bit skittish. She will let you pick her up without cowering or running off, as long as you move slowly. Her potty habits are great and she will go outside to do her business like a champ, just take her outside a few times a day and she's good! She isn't used to leashes/walking in the neighborhood yet, but hopefully down the road she will become more accustomed to a leash. Sofa time with you is nice for her and although she sometimes will seek affection, she's more of a 'by your side' gal rather than a lap dog. This might change, as she tends to seek affection here and there, but we can't guarantee that she'll ever be mega cuddly. However, she LOVES sleeping in the big bed! And there, she is very comfy, and will lean into you with cuddles, usually near your feet or the crook of your knees. When you say 'let's go to bed', she will get right up! Kelsie absolutely LOVES playing with other dogs, so we do require that you have another small, social dog that enjoys camaraderie. She isn't a crazy barker, but will definitely let you know if/when someone is at your door or on your property. Since she's a Maltese mix, her hair grows and she will definitely require routine grooming/haircuts. She does fine with home bathing in between. Kelsie is spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had her teeth cleaned! She is fostered in the Orlando area and her adoption donation is $400.

FOSTERS

NEEDED!!

FLDR wants to save as many puppers as we possibly can and the only way to do this is by YOU joining our team!! We need fosters!! If you live in the Orlando area and would like to help save lives, we want you to join our pack! We are in need of foster homes willing to open their hearts and make a space on the couch for a rescued pup, usually just for a couple of weeks! We take care of the vetting, grooming, medications and you provide the love and snuggles! Please complete the "Adoption Application" and just put in the comments - "Want to Foster" and a Foster Coordinator will reach out to you right away!

We are also in need of people willing to do transports, usually from Winter Haven to St. Cloud or from north Orlando to St. Cloud a couple of times a month, during a weekday. Please email littledogrescue@gmail.com for more info on helping with Freedom Rides!

Welcome to Florida Little Dog Rescue Group!

Saving small dogs in big need—one life at a time.

Since day one, we've centered on the mission: rescuing overlooked, medically needy, or shelter-bound little dogs in Central Florida and giving them the loving futures they deserve. We’re a 100% volunteer-powered rescue caring for pups in foster homes—never shelters—and every dollar goes directly toward saving another life.

Save a Dog on Death Row!
They 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!

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 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.

Why We Do What We Do

No shelter, just foster homes—so every dog gets the love and evaluation they deserve.
Over 5,500 lives changed across 16 years of rescue work.
A fully volunteer run organization—every gift you give goes straight to care.
Not a shelter—visits happen by application only to ensure safety and respect for foster families and pets.

Please note, we are not a shelter. We do not have a kennel or facility that you can visit and see all the dogs. Each dog is fostered in an individual home. We do rescue out of our private homes and in our spare time. So, you cannot come visit our dogs until you have gone through the application and interview process and we have contacted you about scheduling a visit. We do not have set "hours" and we answer all calls and emails as quickly as we can!
