My story

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

Winston was rescued from a severe abuse and neglect situation. Animal control removed him due to lack of shelter, sanitary environment, and evident lack of food and water.

Winston was chained to an outer wall with a chain around his neck so short that kept him on his hind legs day and night.

Winston would thrive with a family who is very patient, kind, and positively redirect behaviors. Also, someone who has the experience and/or knowledge of dealing with a rescued, abused dog.

Winston has the most gentle eyes, you fall in love with him the second you see into them. Bearing in mind all the abuse he endured, Winston is such a lovable dog who only wants to be loved, treated with kindness, and a furever family.November 16, 2025, 4:34 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!
