My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Chiquito lives up to his name: tiny, playful, and sensitive. What 10-pound Chiquito loves most? His people. Described as a shadow, he follows his folks everywhere and never turns down a lap. This energetic and housetrained two-year-old promises to entertain you with his zoomies and to show you how much he loves playing with his toys.

Chiquito takes time to build trust as new situations can be scary for him. He needs to feel safe and gain confidence. He needs you for that. Your leadership—consistency, routine, and stability—will reinforce and build on his basic training, allowing Chiquito’s other awesome qualities shine over time, too. He currently lives with 3 small dogs and is either walking around together with them,or ignoring each other.

Do you enjoy an earned reward? Will you be the leader that this darling dog desperately needs? If so, Chiquito is the one for you. Please fill out an application today!

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.
