Brenna is Broken :(

Brenna is Broken :(

A plea was sent out by one of our shelter partners asking for help for Brenna. This little terrier mix pup arrived at the shelter as a stray with her leg "dangling" and her unable to bear weight on it. X-rays quickly confirmed the obvious - her front leg is severely broken. Repairing breaks like this in rapdily growing puppies can be complicated and precarious at best, so her best odds of healing meant she needed rescue and an orthopaedic consult ASAP. A member of our intake team quickly went over and picked her up and took her right to our vet's office. While we await the full treatment plan and options, she is currently snuggled in at the clinic receiving TLC and some really good pain meds. She is a very sweet puppy - only about two months old - who really deserves the best chance to have a full, long, happy, pain-free life full of play and cuddles. Orthopaedic surgeries are quite expensive and we are still trying to fundraise to cover the balance of Mity's plates and pins from last month, so another $5K+ surgery is not an ideal scenario for us to be in, but we just couldn't leave her sitting in pain. Sometimes faith is taking the first step, even when you can't see the whole staircase, so we are ready to start climbing....

This summer is already starting out to be a struggle for rescue, so if you are able to lend a helping paw, Brenna and the other pups (and their human helpers) would really appreciate it!!

**Please know that we know nothing about Brenna or her full medical prognosis yet, so we are not able to discuss what she will need in a forever home, so adoption inquiries are not being accepted (or answered) until she is medically cleared and listed for adoption on the adoptable dogs page**

Blade, a Chihuahua mix

Meet Blade! Blade is a 1 year old male Chihuahua mix and he weighs about 14 pounds. He arrived in rescue after being surrendered and being very scared. He has settled into foster care and is starting to thrive and is ready for a forever home. His foster mom says: Meet Blade! If you need a warm, fuzzy meet or a dog that is going to love you instantly, Blade is not for you. Please understand that. Blade believes that love is earned, not rushed. New people can be a little intimidating for him, and he needs someone willing to give him the time and patience to realize the world isnt so scary. But once you're in his circle, you'll discover the sweetest, most loyal companion you could ever ask for. His favorite place in the world is curled up beside his people, soaking up every bit of love and affection they have to offer. Whether its relaxing on the couch, binge-watching your favorite shows, or simply following you from room to room, Blade is happiest just being with his family. Don't let his cuddly side fool you, he has plenty of playful energy too! He loves to run, explore, and stretch his legs, making the most of every adventure before happily settling in for a cozy cuddle session afterward.
Blade is house trained as long as he's kept on a consistent schedule, is comfortable in his crate, and walks beautifully on a leash. He truly enjoys getting out for daily strolls and spending time with his people. Blade would thrive either as your one-and-only best friend or with another smaller canine companion. Larger dogs can make him feel uneasy, so a calmer environment with smaller pups is where he shines. Blade isnt looking for someone to fall in love with him in the first five minutes. He's looking for someone who understands that the best relationships take time. If you're willing to be patient and let him open up at his own pace, you'll gain a devoted best friend whose love is deep, genuine, and absolutely worth the wait. Blade 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 $375.

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!
