We just need to take a minute and give a shout out to one of the members of our FLDR team! This is Caitlin, (Laurie's daughter) she's an FLDR foster mom and volunteer, with Dr. Mugford, the dog trainer for the Queen of England. She was blessed with the opportunity to meet him at Global Pet Expo researching her column for Urban Pet Magazine and talk with him for a while. He said he was very impressed with her, and could not wait to watch her grow, because she was going to do amazing things with dogs - he could just tell:) Be sure to check out her column in the next issue - she asked him what the ONE most important thing is for kids to know about training dogs:)

Save a Dog on Death Row!
Many 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!

Sparkles is a 6-7 month old female boxer/lab mix and she weighs about 40 pounds. Her foster mom says: "Its a bird, its a plane.........its superpup, Sparkles that just went flying by! Are you an athlete looking for a running buddy? Do you like to throw balls and need them brought right back to you? Do you like wet kisses and a smile to greet you? Then I have your dog! Be prepared to show her around town as she never meets a stranger! Dust off your training manual, she is an eager student. Loves her crate as long as its filled with her favorite things....a soft bed, toys galore, an antler to chew on......even a food bowl for snacking. She is still a growing girl of 6 months, so potty breaks are important on a regular schedule. No tiny dogs, as she can play a little ruff, but she does well with my 10+lbs pom and cockapoo, and has motivated the big dog for a few tug of war games too. I use a squirt bottle with her when jumping up and she responded best to this technique for behavioral changes. No harsh hands or voices!She really needs an experienced and attentive owner as she is an energetic girl with a lot to offer! She walks on a leash, but is not fully trained, nor is she one to pull you around. This beauty needs an energetic owner, family with older kids is fine, but someone who is motivated and available to put time and training, and offer a loving lap to this lifetime companion people-loving dog!" Sparkles is spayed, up to date on vaccines, on heartworm prevention and microchipped! She is fostered in the Orlando area, and her adoption donation is $200. |
Welcome to Florida Little Dog Rescue Group!
Florida Little Dog Rescue rehabilitates unwanted, abused and abandoned little dogs and places them in loving and responsible homes to live out their lives as cherished family members. We would love for you to join us by adopting a dog, volunteering as a foster home or donating money to help save the dogs. We are a 501(c)3 Charitable Organization, and all donations to FLDRG are tax deductible!
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 almost 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!
