New Pups Need Our Help!

New Pups Need Our Help!

Over 70 pups from a rural Georgia puppy mill need help! Outside, with snow, these pups needed rescue! Thankfully a group in Georgia was able to save them and reached out to one of our partner rescues for help with placement and they contacted us. Over 30 of them are arriving to the Orlando area Monday, February 9th, and we will be receiving 11 of them. Upon arrival they will be headed straight to our vet to get checked in and prepped for full vetting - vaccines, heartworm tests, microchips, spay/neuter, dental cleanings - and anything else they need. This is a large intake and we can really use some help with the veterinary expenses - if you are able to lend a helping paw, the pups (and their human helpers) would really appreciate it!!

*Please know that we know nothing about these pups yet, so we are not able to discuss what they need in forever homes, so adoption inquiries are not being accepted (or answered) until they are listed for adoption on the adoptable dogs page**

Onyx, a Pug mix

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to Onyx's participation in a special program, he must be adopted to the Orlando area only. This is not negotiable and we appreciate your understanding.

Meet Onyx! Onyx is a 5 month old male Pug mix and he weighs about 9 pounds. He should stay under 25 pounds full grown, but we can't be sure of adult weight. Onyx arrived in rescue as a tiny puppy and was very sick after being found abandoned and taken to animal services with two other pups. Onyx recovered from his upper respiratory infection and has been doing great! He settled in to his foster home nicely and has been thriving. Onyx will need a family up for all things puppy - including house training, leash training, continued socialization and learning that flip flops are for feet, not food. His foster mom says: Meet Onyx, your future tiny tornado of joy! Onyx is looking for someone who truly understands pugs, because this little guy brings the full package: the zoomies, the antics, and that delightfully chaotic “manic pug energy” we all secretly love. He’s as sweet as they come, but don’t expect a couch potato. Onyx is always on the move! Whether he’s playing, exploring, or finding his next adventure, he keeps life fun and full of laughs. And when it comes to food, He does not mess around. Mealtime is serious business, and he approaches every bite with the focus and dedication of a true professional. If you’re ready for a pup who will keep you smiling, moving, and thoroughly entertained, Onyx is ready to be your partner in playful crime. Onyx is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heart worm prevention and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $550.

FOSTERS NEEDED!!

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!
