Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from
Florida Little Dog Rescue!!!
As 2022 comes to a close we wanted to wish all of our friends, family and supporters a Happy Holiday Season and best wishes for an amazing 2023! 2022 has been quite a busy year for us at FLDR, and we are anticipating being just as busy, if not busier, in 2023.
As we celebrated thirteen years of Florida Little Dog Rescue, we were very excited to have added another 279 rescues to our pack in 2022, bringing the total to 4769, but the year isn’t even quite over yet! We have a few more pups that joined us today, with more still coming in during the last few days of 2022.
Rescue never gets a vacation, but that’s ok, the puppers are worth it, every second, every day, every month, all year! Most of our puppers are seniors and/or severely medically or behaviorally challenged pups, where FLDR was their only chance for a happy ending. While our intake team would love to be “unemployed” in the new year, we recognize that is not likely, and more pups will need our help to find loving homes like yours! Our photo collage features just a few of the pups that FLDR has been able to save this year, including Dillon who was so matted, couldn’t tell head from tail; Manny who our vet said he’s “never seen a bladder stone that big” (he even sent it off to the UF Vet School!); Asher who survived more then we will ever know & now just craves love; Tank, who was abandoned in a drainage canal and is sometimes still scared of his own shadow, but now wants love; Shelby, thrown from a balcony at such a young age, and had to loose an eye, but is now thriving, loved and spoiled; All the chihuahua mixes who went from living in a U-haul - old ones, pregnant ones, puppies, scared to all thriving now; Lark, who was literally starving to death and aspirated on her own gagging causing pneumonia and needing emergency hospitalization - who is now doing so well in foster care and re-learning how to swallow; Louie, abandoned at an emergency clinic after having his leg broken; and of course, Timmy. Oh Timmy - our little liver shunt puppy who has fought through so many obstacles to live and is just now, in time for 2023, finally HEALTHY and ready to soon start searching for a forever family to call his own!! And there *may* be a couple of hedgehogs identifying as dogs as well….what can we say? It’s been a very *interesting* and BUSY year. AND - we have some exciting news coming in January as well!

Please also know just how much our foster parents LOVE receiving updates and pictures of their former foster pups ~ there is nothing quite as encouraging on a “down” day as being able to look at one of your former pups that arrived broken, scared and afraid to love now living the “great life” as a cherished family member!!!
Thank you all so very much for supporting rescue, our volunteers and pups at Florida Little Dog Rescue!!
Much Love and Many Wishes for an INCREDIBLE 2023,
All the Puppers of FLDR and the rest of their “staff” at Florida Little Dog Rescue!
