 SWEET SIXTEEN!!!

FLDR IS SIXTEEN!!!

Sixteen years ago, we set out to save the unsaved—the overlooked, the passed-by, the ones others said couldn’t be helped. We didn’t aim to change the world… just their world. We wanted every dog to know that humans can be kind, that pain can be eased, and that belly rubs, warm beds, and couch cuddles are what life is meant to be.

People told us it wouldn’t work. That we’d be done in a year. But we believed—fiercely—that the dogs came first. That our mission was to find each dog their person, not just find a person a dog.

It hasn’t been easy. There have been tears, sleepless nights, canceled plans, and heartbreak beyond measure. But there have also been 5,844 days, 5,477 wet noses, and 16 years of second chances. Every late night. Every rescue. Every tear—it’s all been worth it.

We are here because of you—our ragtag pack of supporters, fosters, adopters, and cheerleaders. You’ve cried with us, celebrated with us, and loved these pups as your own. From the bottom of our hearts… thank you for making 16 years of rescue possible.

Here’s to many more wet noses, wagging tails, and happy endings. 💛🐾

Loki, a Puggle mix
 
Hi there, I’m Loki! And yes... I live up to my name. I’m a 5 year old, 25 pound Puggle mix with a big personality and a soft spot for people who love to play. I came into rescue when my previous family couldn’t take care of me anymore, but I’ve been hanging out in a super comfy foster home while I wait for my forever humans to find me. My foster mom says I’m the kind of pup that leaves an impression—her dad even said if he were looking for a dog, I’d be the one! And trust me, he’s met a lot of us foster pups! I’m a medium energy guy, which basically means I’m always ready for fetch or tug-of-war, but I also know how to chill when playtime is over. If you’re busy, I’ll go toss a toy around by myself or curl up for a nap (sometimes with my toy still in my mouth—don’t judge me). I follow my foster mom around the house because I like being near my people. If you sit on the couch or recliner, you better believe I’m climbing up next to you.
Now, about the important stuff:
 I’m house trained (every 3–4 hours is my sweet spot) and will even use a potty pad if I need to.
 I sleep in the big bed with my humans and have claimed a pillow as mine—bonus points if I can snuggle under the covers.
 I love attention—so much so that I don’t want to share it with other animals. No cats, dogs, or tiny pets, please.

 Older, dog-savvy kids? Cool with me.
 Apartments? Probably not the best fit—I bark at strange noises, especially if I’m home alone.
Also, I’m a master squirrel and lizard chaser, so I’ll need to wear a harness on walks to keep me safe and focused (sort of). I'm not perfect, but I promise I’m loyal, loving, and one-of-a-kind. If you’re looking for a loyal buddy who brings fun, cuddles (on my terms), and a dash of mischief into your life—I just might be your guy.
Love, Loki 

Loki 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 $275.

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! Please complete the "Adoption Application" and just put in the comments - "Want to Foster" and a Foster Coordinator will reach out to you right away!  

We are also in need of people willing to do transports, usually from Winter Haven to St. Cloud or from north Orlando to St. Cloud a couple of times a month, during a weekday. Please email littledogrescue@gmail.com for more info on helping with Freedom Rides!

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!
