Story
Meet Gerard – The Gentle Snuggler with a Curious Heart
Gerard may be smaller than his brother, but he has just as much love to give – maybe even more! This sweet little guy is a soft, observant soul who prefers taking it all in before diving into the action. He’s still building confidence day by day, but one thing is already clear: Gerard is a world-class snuggler who thrives on closeness and affection.
He loves to curl up in a warm lap after a play session, and if you're the type who enjoys a quiet companion by your side, Gerard just might be your perfect match. He’s quite attached to both people and his brother, so he’d do best in a home where someone is around frequently to help him feel safe and connected.
Gerard is doing great with his playpen at night, especially when he has his brother nearby, and he’s already showing off how clever he is – he’s mastered “sit” like a pro and is making excellent progress on potty training with a consistent routine. He also enjoys exploring the backyard and playing gently with the older, bigger dogs in his foster home.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful, loving, and loyal companion who will blossom in a calm and nurturing home, Gerard is ready to steal your heart.

Thank you for your interest in adopting a dog from Little Dog Rescue. Our dogs come from a variety of sources and backgrounds. They are all in need of adopters that have patience, an understanding of where these dogs have come from, and that there will be an adjustment time when they transition into their forever home. This can include learning basic commands, walking on leash and potty training. Some dogs will pick up on your routine and expectations faster than others. Potty accidents will happen. We find that positive reinforcement, consistency, and routine from the adopter achieves the best results.
We are a small, all volunteers team and give 100% of our efforts towards doing right by these pups. We are often juggling many responsibilities at the same time and do our very best to process inquiries and applications in a timely manner. We do prioritize inquiries that have a submitted application on file through the Little Dog Rescue website.
We do our best to accurately assign breed designations, however we are unable to guarantee 100% accuracy. Sometimes we only have the dogs appearance to go on.
Our adoption fees are thoughtfully considered. The adoption fee is not a purchase price for the dog. It is a fee that is designed to support the overall work of our rescue. Highly desirable dogs and puppies are intentionally listed with a higher adoption fee. This is done to help offset the enormous medical expenses we incur when taking in older pups and special needs medical dogs whose adoption fees do not come close to covering their expenses. In addition, the vast majority of our dogs are brought in from out of state and incur transport fees along with their medical and acquisition costs. We ask that you take all of these things into consideration, and we look forward to finding a great match for your family.
