CONGRATULATIONS PICKLE!

CONGRATULATIONS PICKLE!!!! Pickle won MVP for Puppy Bowl XIX!!! We are so so proud of our little pomeranian mix who played his heart out at Puppy Bowl and is a stellar example of just how awesome rescue pups are!!!

A huge thanks to Animal Planet for Puppy Bowl and showcasing all rescue/shelter pups! We also need to thank all of our fosters and team at FLDR who make our participation possible, as well as our friends at A New Beginning Pet Rescue, specifically Debbie, for bringing Pickle and his litter to our attention when they were in need of rescue, and arranging their intake for FLDR:) And course, a ginormous thanks to Pickle's adoptive dads, who have supported him and Team FLDR on this exciting journey!! Team work is what makes the dream work - and our dream is for all pups to have warm beds and loving homes - and if we keep working together, hopefully that will one day be a reality!

If you would like to help our team work towards that dream, please remember that all donations to Florida Little Dog Rescue are tax-deductible as we are a fully certified and registered 501(c)3. Many companies, such as Disney, Boeing, Salesforce and Bank of America just to name a few, offer corporate matching funds as well!

Asher, a Pomeranian/Yorkie mix

Meet Asher! Asher is a 12ish yr old Pomeranian/Yorkie mix and weighs about 5lbs. He arrived at the shelter as a stray in horrible conditions and no one claimed him. While in foster care, this “active” boy took a flying leap off the couch and dislocated his hip. The surgery and recovery were a success and he was a trooper throughout it all! His foster mom says, "Asher, I call him Ash, needs someone that understands your lap is his lap and will not share with others and wants it whenever it’s available. He wants to be the only dog in the house. I describe him as a young soul stuck in an old body. He doesn’t hear or see great, has cataracts, a little arthritis, but boy can this boy climb all over you, walk awhile on a leash and can even snatch that dinner plate out of your hands with one tooth. He does need his eyes wiped daily. He also enjoys napping a lot. He is working on his housetraining, getting better using puppy pads, but still has accidents. He would much rather potty outside. He needs to go out on a regular schedule. He eats very fast and will beg for your food, I’ve been working diligently on this, but he most likely had to scour for food at one point, so I’m very gentle about it. He has gotten much better about it. At the beginning he used to have to be with me or on me when I was home. He now realizes, I always come back. He continues to be my shadow and gets underfoot a lot, but even that has gotten better. Due to his size, no little kiddos in his new home. He will “talk” to you always, it’s not barking, it’s more of a whine, when he wants to be on the couch with you, when he is hungry or has to go potty. He really only barks when he thinks you are too slow getting his meal ready. I want his furever home to love him just the way he is and care for him the way he should be. Could that be you?" Asher is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area, and his adoption donation is $150.

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!
