primary goal is to get them into loving homes.
(283)

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 had the audacity to not to want
to fight. The Little Red Dog fights for all the 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 hope that some day all of
them make it out, but most of all, we will never forget the Little Red Dog and
many others who did not.

🌞 Looking for a summer workout buddy? Meet Chloe! 🐾💪Chloe is 3.5 years old pug mix, 31 lbs, and full of potential. Adopted in 2023 and recently returned, she’s looking for a second chance — and a friend to help her get back in shape (she’s gained a little weight and is ready to feel her best again!).

✨ Loyal, smart, and full of personality
✨ Needs a patient, confident leader
✨ Chloe did live with a bunny so likely is ok with cats. She would need correcting if she gets too playful.
✨ Can be reactive on walks and needs someone who won’t let strangers or other dogs rush her just because she’s cute (we get it — she is adorable)

We know the right person is out there for her. Could it be you?

🌟 In Loving Memory of Jesse. After 10 beautiful, love-filled years with her family, sweet girl Jesse made her journey to the stars. 💫

Adoringly known as Messy Jesse, she was truly one of a kind. With her wiry coat and sweet little underbite, she stood out not just in looks, but in spirit.

We first met Jesse at the shelter when she was just a tiny puppy—very sick with parvo and pneumonia. But she was a fighter, a true survivor. Jesse showed her strength from the very beginning. She became the beginning of the road to rescue for her mom , and from that day forward, she was part of the family. ❤️🐾

Jesse grew into the heart of her home. She was there for every hike, every road trip, every family gathering. She wasn’t just included—she was in the center of it all.

She even joined her mom at school to teach students about the importance of rescue and adoption, becoming a voice for those who couldn’t speak. A true ambassador, Jesse helped shine a light on the beauty of second chances.

She was an incredible sister to both her human and four-legged siblings, and was celebrated daily for the joy and light she brought into our lives. Jesse was joyful, vocal, loving, and full of personality. She talked, she sang, and she smiled like she knew just how deeply she was loved.

Recently, Jesse was diagnosed with cancer. Even through her illness, her spirit never dimmed. She loved life—and life loved her right back. We will miss you more than words can ever say, Jesse. We love you, always. 🌈💛🐶

New foster needed for Momo in Southern California! 🏡She's a sweet, playful 3-year-old German Shepherd mix, weighing in at just 50 pounds of pure cuteness! 💕 Her current foster is heading overseas for work, so now Momo is looking for a new place to land.

Momo is full of love, energy, and personality. She thrives in a home where she can be part of the action – whether that’s a walk, a game of fetch, or solving a treat puzzle! She’s done great with teens and would do well in a home with respectful kids who understand dog boundaries.

🐾 Momo’s Must-Knows:
-Not suited for homes with cats
-Can live with other dogs with proper intro, patience, and guidance
-Great with structure, routine, and mental stimulation

All supplies and support provided – you just bring the love!
If you're in SoCal and have room in your heart and home to help a loving pup, please consider fostering Momo. Your support could be the bridge to her forever home. ❤️
