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!

Cooper, a Shih Tzu/Terrier/Poodle mix

Meet Cooper! Cooper is a 9 week old male Shih Tzu/Terrier/Poodle mix of adorableness. He weighs about 7 pounds and is still a growing boy. He could be over 20 pounds full grown, we are not sure just how big he will get, but we want his new family to be prepared for whatever size he may be. Cooper arrived in rescue after being picked up by animal services and he was too young and too small to be at the shelter. He has been raised in a loving foster home and is ready to start life off with a forever family to call his own. Cooper is all puppy and will need a family up for all the things that go along with that like housetraining, leash training, continued socialization and learning what to chew and not chew.

Cooper has a lot of energy and would do best in an active home. His foster dad says he would like to introduce himself: Hi, my name's Cooper! I’m a very sweet and friendly little boy and I love to cuddle. My foster dad says I’m very curious and brave but that’s just cuz I ain’t afraid of nuttin! I’m a typical little boy….I love to play with other dogs and toys, run and take naps. Treats are awesome and we can definitely be friends if you give me some of those. I sleep well through the night and I’m doing really well on housetraining, but I am still a puppy so an occasional accident could happen. I’m currently working on crate training….it’s kind of nice to have my own space to relax and sleep after a long day. So if you are looking for a loyal and loving best friend, then you should definitely pick me! Cooper is neutered, up to date on vaccines, on flea and heartworm prevention and microchipped. He is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $475.

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!
