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.
(168)

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.

🌹 On a with Rose! 🌹 She's a beautiful, a 3-year-old German Shepherd. Rose's intelligence, typical of her breed, makes her eager to train. She will need an owner who is ready to be the leader and set the boundaries she needs.

She's also very loyal, always ready to protect her loved ones. She would benefit from being part of an active home with regular exercise. 🐕🚶‍♂️ Rose is selective with other dogs and does not enjoy other dogs in her face. She can be around calm dogs who respect her boundaries. She deserves a forever home where she can continue to share her love and loyalty. Rose is currently in boarding and would love a foster! 🏡 Looking to adopt? 📣 From August 10th to September 10th, we are offering dog adoptions for $200 as long as you adopt one of the 50 dogs like Rose we have at our facility in Anaheim.

⚠️ We were contacted about two sets of dogs that need help. ⚠️ First is Mama Skittles and her EIGHT puppies. They are currently living under a tent, which is no place for a new family to be. The puppies need to be vaccinated before they get sick, and Mama needs to leave with them.

Second is Miss Fiona. SWIPE ➡️! She was found by a good samaritan and can only keep her temporarily until a foster home is found. She has a swollen leg that needs to be addressed by a veterinarian.

If you can foster Fiona or Skittles and her puppies, PLEASE fill out an application today! We don't know much about either dog's temperment, so a foster will need to be able to keep them separated from other dogs if need be. If you can't foster, please share this post. We need as many people as possible to see them. www.thelittlereddog.org

I'm Flash Gordon, a 3 1/2-year-old, short, stocky male American Staffordshire Terrier mix who weighs 91 pounds. Housetrained? I sure am! I am very happy, playful 🎾, and like to be active. You wouldn't guess by my outgoing smile, but I am a little on the shy side. I love to hang on the sofa with you and can be silly and goofy, too. I live with a family with another dog 🐕 and TLRD did this thing they called a "cat test" 🐱 and I passed.

My foster fam are super awesome - they have taken me on lots of trips 🚗, like to Morro Bay 🌊 and up to the mountains ⛰️. I really like those trips and I love to have a job to do. I also like to be protective and need to learn that it's not my job - it's the human leaders' job. Are you up for that? I hope so! Apply to adopt me at www.thelittleredog.org and tell them Flash sent you. 💥 I would really love to find my forever 🏡.

✨️ Meet Halsey: Your Next Adventure Buddy! ✨️

The perfect home for Halsey is one with no other animals. Older kids would be fine! This radiant girl was a mom of 6, and she did a great job watching over her puppies. They have all found homes, and now Halsey deserves one, too! Fending for herself taught her to be choosy meeting new people, but once she knows and trusts you, she is your best and loyal friend for life. She would love an experienced owner to establish a structure and set boundaries with her. Do you love the outdoors? So does Halsey! She's packed with energy and dreams of daily walks or even better, adventures with a family who loves to run or hike. Halsey is housetrained and a complete wiggle butt. Interested in meeting her? She's eager to be part of your story. ❤️ Please fill out an adoption application today! www.thelittlereddog.org

We were asked to help with a case in Barstow where 24 puppies and one adult female are living outdoors in extreme heat conditions seeking shade where they can find it.  It's currently 109° in Barstow. 🌡

We have already been able to take 4 puppies thanks to two fosters. Other rescues or individuals have helped 12 more. There are still 8 puppies and one Mama dog living on the property.

The puppies range between 8-12 weeks old. Regardless of their past, these pups are just the sweetest. They want cuddles, to be held, and to be near you. We would love to see them all safe with bright futures. If you can foster 1 or more puppies or the mom, please fill out a foster application! Fostering is free!

Diamond has beautiful black and white coloring, a huge love for life, and is very loving, gentle, and sweet. 🍬 She would prefer a single story home. Diamond is all about a laidback lifestyle with lots of naps and short walks. Diamond does well with other dogs and cats and would excel in a family home or a senior home.

Our Story

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 primary goal is to get them into loving homes. 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.
