GIVING TUESDAY!!

TLDR: It's Giving Tuesday we want to save pups, please help, thanks.

It's #GivingTuesday!!!! Black Friday is over, Small Business Saturday was a smash, Cyber Monday is done, and now it’s a day celebrating the true spirit of the season - LOVE and GIVING! #GivingTuesday harnesses the potential of social media and the generosity of people around the world to bring about real change in their communities; it provides a platform for them to encourage the donation of time, resources and talents to address local challenges. It also brings together the collective power of a unique blend of partners— nonprofits, civic organizations, businesses and corporations, as well as families and individuals—to encourage and amplify small acts of kindness. Say, like saving a pup's life. Or helping a pup get the medical care they need for an injury, like a broken leg and paw. Or helping a senior pup find comfort in a loving foster home to live out whatever time they have left. Acts of kindness that truly and profoundly change and directly impact and save lives! If there’s one thing that’s a given, FLDR LOVES saving lives and we all KNOW how much MamaJan just loves “shopping” trips at animal shelters to load up with an SUV full of pups getting their freedom rides!!

FLDR is blessed to have an amazing supporter who loves saving pups as much as we do AND he also loves challenges - so he is challenging us to have our most successful Giving Tuesday yet - and he is willing to match our donations!!

Please, please consider making a donation this #GivingTuesday and lending a helping paw to some of our awesome pups. We would love to be able to go to animal control and "shop" and save some more pups, and get them homes for the holidays. YOU can help us do that, by donating right here on this post, or using any of the links on our website.

So click the donate button right here or any of the donation links and make a donation! EVERY donation helps!!! YOU can make a HUGE difference in the life of a pup ~ sometimes it’s literally ALL the difference. Please like, share on socials, send a telegram, make a call, spread the word, SAVE A LIFE. Thank you!!!

Beaux, a Shih Tzu/Terrier mix

Meet Beaux! Beaux is a 1-2 year old male Shih Tzu/Terrier mix and he weighs about 9 pounds. He arrived in rescue after coming from a home with too many dogs that could not properly care for him. He has settled into foster care nicely and is thriving! Please know Beaux is NOT "hypo-allergenic". His foster parents say: Beaux is a tender hearted little guy with a sweet, old soul. He can be shy at first with new people and new environments, but once he feels safe, he blossoms into a cuddly, playful companion who loves being near “his” people. He adores plush toys and proudly brings them to you as his way of asking to play. He’s great at fetch and reliably returns his toys. As a puppy, he does play-mouth hands and wrists—he’s gentle, but young children may find it startling. Beaux has a fun, goofy side (hello, zoomies!) but also loves quiet time on his bed or curled up next to his humans. He’s just learning to enjoy lap time during cozy TV evenings and gives lots of kisses—though he hasn’t given face kisses yet.

Good boy qualities:
• Walks well on a harness
• Shy but not barky around strangers or dogs
• Loves exploring the world through sniffing
• Enjoys baths and lives for the blow dryer
• Not a big barker, but will alert when needed
• Makes the cutest little squeaky noises when playing

Housetraining:
He uses a pee pad well but sometimes misses when he needs to poo. He’ll need continued outdoor housetraining and socialization in his new home.

Sleep:
He currently sleeps in his own bed next to his foster’s bed. He’d happily sleep with you, but he hasn’t been allowed to get used to that just in case his forever family prefers otherwise.

Separation:
Beaux will do best in a home where someone is around most of the time. He has mild separation anxiety and will whine when his person leaves but usually settles quietly in his bed.

Beaux is a sweet, sensitive little pup who is ready to give his whole heart to the family who gives him a chance. He can’t wait to meet his forever people. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped and has had his teeth cleaned. Beaux is fostered in the Orlando area and his adoption donation is $400.

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!
