HELP! HELP! HELP!

FREEDOM RIDES! Just a FEW of the faces that left with us today! It has been a BUSY day on intake - and it isn't going to let up - we left with seven today, in addition to the four earlier this week, we have commitments to go back for 7 more by Monday, and 5 more at another shelter - all medically needy - three in the picture below are heartworm positive, one is so scared they needed to sedate him just for a heartworm test at the shelter, and one just shakes:( The two puppies you don't see are super tiny. We have a full day of vetting ahead of us tomorrow, and a super busy next few days. I will just be as quick and blunt as possible - we will need help. The vet bills are quickly adding up, and we need helping paws. Our generous friend agreed to match all donations through the weekend, up to $5000. That would be an amazing relief with all of the pups coming in with medical issues. If you can,click on any of the links, and your donation will be matched. We also have a really cool Disney backpack that we will post pictures of tomorrow that we will draw a name for next Friday, all you have to do is donate to help the pups! Please:) Please also like, share, spread the word on your socials.

PS - The pups pictured ALL need vetting, and are not available for adoption inquiries at this time. We have lots of pups ready NOW on the adoptable dogs page of our website, and each one adopted means another foster space opens up:) Thank you for your understanding!

Note: The picture is NOT how the carriers travelled, just how we positioned them so you could see as many faces as possible. Bothersome people would think we would drive with them that way, but yeah, we apparently have to clarify :/

Brayleigh, a Shih Tzu mix

Brayleigh is a 5 year old female Shih Tzu mix and she weighs just about 9 pounds. Brayleigh arrived in rescue when her family moved without her. She has settled into foster care nicely and is ready to find a forever family of her own! Her foster mom says, "Brayleigh is a people person pup! She loves her humans and she wants to be with you always. She loves to be held and petted! She has the most unique adorable face you just can't stop looking at her. She is housetrained, on our schedule. Due to some previous lack of dental care, she doesn't have too many teeth left but that doesn't stop her from loving her meals, it just means a little more prep time for her humans. She's not really a fan of toys but she does get a little frisky and wants to play with her people once in awhile. She has not been around kids or cats so I cannot attest to how she will be with them, but older dog savvy kids should be fine. She is good with other dogs but she can get barky/snappy at them if they get too close while she's getting attention from her people. She doesn't like to share her cuddle time. If you're looking for a loving, affectionate, people pleaser pup Brayleigh might just be your girl!" Brayleigh 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 $300.

Orson has found a forever home!

In Loving Memory

Our Deepest Sympathies are with the family of Sandy Napierkowski, a beloved member of the FLDR extended family. The Mother of DaddyRob and Mother-in-Law to MamaJan, Sandy was a big supporter of rescue and FLDR. She was always ready to jump in to help, and always had words of support when they were most needed. Words can not express how deeply she will be missed. In her memory, her family has asked that FLDR be one of the charities where donations could be made. If you are making a donation in loving memory of Sandy, please just use the button below, thank you.

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!

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.

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!

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!
