Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Just like her legendary namesake, Zelda is a true hero. This sweet 1-year-old mama has already survived a difficult past that left her far too skinny, but she never stopped being gentle, loving, and devotedespecially to her two precious puppies. Zelda is a fantasticmama, patiently nursing and caring for her babies while also working on healing her own body. Because shes still taking care of her little ones, Zelda will not be available for adoption until after she is vetted. Applications for pre-approval are now being accepted. Despite everything shes been through, Zelda is lovely, social, and affectionate. She loves people, enjoys attention, and has a calm, loving presence that makes everyone around her feel at ease. Zeldas next quest is finding a forever home where she can finally rest, recover, and be spoiled the way a true hero deserves. If youre looking for a loyal companion with a gentle soul and a brave heart, Zelda is ready to join your party. Adoption fees are $350 unless otherwise stated. Senior dog adoption fees are $200. 100% of adoption fees are put back into the rescue so that another lonely and neglected dog can be rescued. We are grateful for your interest. Upon approval, the adoption fee is non-refundable. The fee includes the following: de-worming; heartworm, lymes, ehrlichia and anaplasmosis testing; all vaccinations including rabies; flea and tick treatment, microchipping and spay/neuter. Please contact us if you have questions about our adoptable dogs, we would love to talk to you!

We require an adoption application; we check all references; and upon adoption, we require the adopter to sign an adoption contract which says, among other things, that if the adoption doesn't work out, the dog must come back to Little Big Dog Rescue.

More about this rescue
Little Big Dog Rescue is the little rescue with the big heart.
We are a 501c3 non-profit rescue that is committed to improve and save the lives of dogs through:
Rescue, Rehabilitation, Training, Adoption and Community Education
In January 2025, the rescue underwent a transition, redefining its mission to a different focus and locality. Little Big Dog Rescue relocated to the New River Valley in Christiansburg, Virginia and expanded from predominately a senior dog rescue to helping dogs of all ages in need as our resources allow.
LBDR aims to pull from local kill shelters and assist owner surrenders as space allows in our foster homes. Each dog will be vetted to include spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, deworming, etc. and then spend quality time in a foster home so we may learn more about each dog's personality and needs for their future "furever" home success. We are committed to providing medical rehabilitation as well as some behavioral training whenever possible to further improve the quality of life each dog may have after being adopted. Additionally, LBDR hopes to give back to the community by offering education on various aspects of the privilege of dog ownership, including proper medical care, training needs, breed-specific needs, and so much more.
