My story

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

Say Hello to sweet Buttons! We rescued her from the shelter, pregnant, on the euth list. She was found on the streets with a belly full of babies. She gave birth to 5 pups in foster on 8/12/2025 and after taking great care of her pups, she's ready for her furever family. Buttons is very loving and relaxed. Likes to steal whatever toy the other dogs (including her puppies) are chewing on. Doesn't resource-guard, though - you can take it right back. She loves to get pets and come right up to your face for loving. She does not go potty in her kennel and knows where to go outside. Needs some leash training. Loves every guest that comes by - male and female. Likes to chase 'things that go bump in the night' but never catches anything. Not much of a barker so when she does bark, it is probably legitimate. If you want to meet this sweet angel, please fill out an application!October 26, 2025, 2:24 pm

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/dog-adoption-forms

More about this rescue

The Little Red Dog (TLRD) passionately transforms canine lives through holistic rehabilitation, education, and community outreach. Since 2011, the mission for our nonprofit has been clear: rescue, educate, find homes, and assist the people in our community who are in need. By advocating for comprehensive behavioral understanding, and assistance to the community, we strive to reduce animal cruelty, and the number of animals being surrendered to the shelter, thereby eradicating euthanasia and fostering a world where humans and dogs thrive together, and all humans and animals are free from discrimination. Through our efforts, we address both immediate needs and underlying issues. We envision a world where every dog, regardless of its past, has a loving future, and where canines and humans always feel included and appreciated. We are on a mission from dog!
