The Little Red Dog, Inc

The Little Red Dog, Inc A 501 c3 Non Profit dedicated to saving animal lives, education and animal welfare in Orange Co, CA. Our
primary goal is to get them into loving homes.
(284)

Dogs are man's best friend, but it is not always the other way
around. The Little Red Dog was founded in memory of a little red
American Pit Bull Terrier who did not make it. If you are familiar
with the Michael Vick dog fighting case chronicled in The Lost Dogs: Michael Vick's Dogs and Their Tale of Rescue and Redemption. The Little Red Dog was brutally beaten to death by Vick and his cronies

because she had the audacity to not to want
to fight. The Little Red Dog fights for all the dogs, red, blue, tan, white, brown, black and all colors in between. We do not discriminate against ANY breed; that's
because we are a real rescue, and we will help as many animals as we can. Our hope that some day all of
them make it out, but most of all, we will never forget the Little Red Dog and
many others who did not.

Do you remember Brandy? She’s the sweet pup who found her forever home with us six years ago. After all this time, Brandy’s world has been turned upside down. The same person who once loved her now gave up on her when she faced a medical challenge. She was surrendered to the shelter because of a mass that her owner no longer wanted to deal with. Thankfully we picked her up before the shelter euthanized her.

Brandy’s been through so much, but now she’s fighting for her life. She’s undergone a biopsy, lymph node aspiration, and x-rays to figure out the extent of her condition, and the results are still pending. We know this road won’t be easy, but Brandy is worth every ounce of our effort.

The bills are already piling up, and we need your help. The cost of Brandy’s medical care to date is $1,848.35, and as a 100% donation-based organization, we rely on the kindness of people like you to continue her care. We appreciate Lake Forest Animal Clinic for getting her in so quickly for surgery and for showing her so much love. Every donation brings us one step closer to giving Brandy the future she deserves—the future that every dog should have: one filled with love, comfort, and a family who will never give up on her.

Please, help us give Brandy a chance to heal and live her best life. No amount is too small—your support means the world to her and to us.

You can donate towards Brandy:

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of Brandy’s journey. ❤️

Hi there! I’m Ollie, and it may sound a little bold, but everyone loves me – just check out my adorable face! 😍 I’m look like a mini cattle dog, and although I was found as a stray (no one came for me, sadly), I’m still full of love and ready to share it. I’m about 8 years young and weigh 18 pounds of pure charm!

Here’s what makes me a great match: I’m awesome on the leash, I get along with other dogs, and I’m a potty pro – I’ll let you know when it’s time to go by walking to the door. While I can’t be neutered due to medical reasons, I promise I’m still the perfect companion! I’m looking for my forever home, and if you choose me, I’ll love you endlessly. ❤️

I was rescued from Palmdale Shelter, and I’m currently living in Orange County with my foster Dad. If you're ready for a loyal friend this Valentine’s Day, I’m your guy! Come meet me, and I’ll be your Valentine – furrever. 🐾

Meet Copper! 🤎✨️ An energetic and playful dog, Copper loves activities like playing and spending time with his humans. He was surrendered due to occasional nipping during play time and needs an owner who will teach him boundaries and set him up for success. Although Copper enjoys socializing, he’s been learning that he’s best suited as the only dog in the household. He can be selective with other dogs, particularly those with softer temperaments, and tends to be a little too enthusiastic during playtime. With patience and consistent training, Copper is showing that he can be a loving, loyal, and well-behaved companion in the right environment. He’s working on fine-tuning his leash skills, and he knows how to shake like the gentleman he is.

Copper is looking for a patient owner who can provide structure and help him become the best version of himself. With the right guidance, he’ll be a loyal and affectionate companion. If you're looking for a fun-loving pup who will bond with you, Copper might be the perfect fit! Interested in adopting? Visit www.thelittlereddog.org

South LA shelter just took in one large litter of 11- 6 week old large breed puppies. The shelter is no place for underage puppies, and they need a safe shelter exit ASAP. The source found one additional puppy and brought in him later the same day. Puppies are 6 weeks old, appear healthy at this time, parvo tested 2 puppies from the litter, and they were both negative. Because of their age, they are only available to rescue groups. If you can FOSTER 2 or more puppies, please fill out a foster application today at www.thelittlereddog.org

IMMEDIATE FOSTERS NEEDED!! Our hearts break when we receive these messages daily. 💔 These two dogs are tied up in a small enclosure as you can see in the video and an independent rescuer has been checking on them for many many months and they’re out there 24/7 in the rain and elements, living in their own f***s and not getting regular food & water… The woman is there today and trying to put a tarp over them. The owner is willing to relinquish them no issue. He runs a car wrecking lot and gets a lot of stray dogs, and these are his, but he doesn’t take care of them…

We don't have any more details at this time. If you can help PLEASE fill out an application at www.thelittlereddog.org. We will cover vetting and supplies! They do not need to stay together. We are unsure how they are with other dogs besides eachother so would recommend a nice quiet space they can be separated from other dogs until we can test them with your current four-legged family members.

We received the following plea today and would love to help Bubba find a foster!! If you can help, please apply at www.thelittlereddog.org

"I adopted Bubba (end of November) from the euthanasia list with just hours to spare at SEACCA shelter. I got him neutered, put some meat on his bones, cleared up his double ear infection, and healed his kennel cough. I need help finding another foster or adopter for Bubba. He does not get along with my other male dominant dog. That is his only flaw!

He LOVES people, is fully potty trained, is not destructive, does great in the car, is kennel trained, isn’t a barker, and really is just a big cuddle bug/couch potato.

I am going out of town on February 15th so ideally I would love to find a soft landing before then for him as leaving him with a dog sitter makes me a little nervous considering him and my other male don’t get along, I don’t want an accident to happen. He does get along fine with my other 4 female dogs, however I would recommend a slow intro with any dog as that’s what I did here and did have good success!

I don’t think he would do well with cats, but I am not sure. My vet estimated him to be around 3 years old."

No one knows you like your foster mom, and here’s what Rocko’s has to say about him: “Rocko is my EASIEST foster yet!!! He is truly an easy dog for someone looking for a companion. He genuinely likes people and dogs. He is a people pleaser who rarely barks. Rocko likes to play with toys, especially tug o’ war, and he loves giving kisses.” 😘 Rocko also is housetrained, crate trained, adept at using a doggie door, and knows how to sit, lay down, and shake. His foster mom reports that Rocko is a “go with the flow” guy who loves to hang out and adapts easily to new situations, people, and dogs.

What breed is Rocko you ask? We wondered too! The results are in, drumroll please... Rocko's DNA results show he is 48.7% American Bulldog, 24% American Bully, 18.2% Bulldog and 9.1% SUPERmut! Rocko does well with dogs that are similar in size to him, though he hasn’t met any small dogs yet. He’s 57 lbs., about 8 years old, and a fantastic walker. Are you ready to give Rocko the forever home he’s been waiting for in exchange for many, many free kisses? Please apply today! 💘 www.thelittlereddog.org

✳️ FOSTER PLEA! We were contacted about this sweet guy today by an independent rescuer. She has no place for him, and we can't help without a committed foster. Here’s what we know:

Chester is a roughly 3 year-old, 40+ pound poodle husky mix. He had a very rough start to live, tied up in the backyard and beaten by his previous human. Because of that, he’s fearful of men and needs a gentle, calm environment so he can unwind. An experienced home that’s willing to put in a little time and effort to help him overcome his past would be the best match for him. He does well with other dogs and cats as well. We recommend no kids until we get to know him better. He was just groomed. His before video is awful. If you are able to help, please fill out a foster application at www.thelittlereddog.org
