My story

Hi there! I'm Columbo, or as my foster pawrents affectionately call me, Lumby! I'm an adorable 8-pound Chihuahua mix who is around 10 years young. Aren't my ears so cool? I think they make me look pawty handsome. When I first came here, I was SO shy and SO fearful of anything and everything. However, my pawesome foster family has put in a lot of work and patience to help me break out of my shell - they say I'm doing great. And, I feel great! It takes a bit, but I am a total lover once I get to know you. Other things I love: walks, cows ears, and playing with other younger dogs. Although, thinking about it, sunbathing on crisp cool days is pretty high on my list, too. I am not fond of young children, but other doggos are always OK by me. Other things that are high on my list are a warm lap or to curl up next to my hoomans on a doggy bed. In the mornings, I jump up to greet my favorite person, get scooped up and am given a little kiss. What could be better than that?!

Additional adoption info

All of our animals come fully vaccinated and spayed or neutered (if old enough), and microchipped. Puppies and kittens will be spayed/neutered and have all shots when they are old enough. There is an Adoption application, a quick phone interview to make sure it is a good fit, a meet and greet with the dog, then a home check, and an adoption contract. We ask for a $400 donation for adult dogs, and $500 for puppies at the time of adoption so that we can save other dogs from the shelter. The first step is to fill out an app here: https://thelittlereddog.org/adoption-form

More about this rescue

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 didn't want to fight.

The Little Red Dog rescues 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, but most of all, we will never forget the Little Red Dog and many others who did not.
