We absolutely LOVE getting updates from our Little Big Dog Rescue alumni! ❤️

Remember Rusty? These days he goes by Russett, and he's living the dream!

His family says he's doing amazing! He lovessss being outside and going for car rides, but when he's not out adventuring, his favorite place is right in your lap. 🥹

Russett's favorite toys include his Lamb Chop, his Christmas pickle, and the bed he proudly drags all over the house. 😂 He's also convinced everything is edible—from shoes and rocks to even bees—so his family has to keep a close eye on their goofy boy!

And despite having a little bit of "big dog syndrome," Russett's tough act is all for show. He'll bark ferociously at new people... then immediately hide behind his family. 🤣

He's full of energy, overflowing with personality, and most importantly, surrounded by a family that absolutely adores him. Stories like Russett's remind us why we do what we do.

Thank you for giving this sweet boy the loving forever home he deserves. We couldn't be happier to see him thriving! ❤️🐾

Have an LBDR alumni update to share? We'd love to hear from you! Send us your photos and stories—they always make our day!

Shirts are only available to order through 7/9/26 — the day of Garth’s consultation. Every purchase helps support the care this sweet boy needs and deserves.

🤠 Meet Cowboy! 🤠

Cowboy is an approximately 2-year-old Golden Retriever mix with the sweetest soul and the perfect mix of laid-back and playful. He’s happy to lounge by your side for a lazy afternoon, but he’s also always ready for some fun when the mood strikes. Typical golden energy. 💛

Since coming into foster care, Cowboy has made incredible progress. He wasn’t a big fan of the crate at first, but he now settles in nicely and has proven to be a wonderful houseguest. He hasn’t chewed or destroyed anything, and as he’s become more comfortable, his goofy, affectionate personality has really started to shine.

Cowboy is still building confidence. Loud noises, sudden movements, and unfamiliar situations can make him nervous, but he’s improving every single day with patience, consistency, and reassurance. Watching him come out of his shell has been so rewarding, and we know the right family will continue helping him thrive.

Cowboy would do best as the only dog in the home, where he can soak up all the love, attention, snuggles, and belly rubs for himself. He has also shown minor resource guarding behaviors, so his future family will need to be understanding, committed, and willing to continue working with him to help him feel secure and successful.

Because of this, Cowboy will require training as part of his adoption and a $100 training deposit will be required upon adoption. This is non-negotiable to ensure his future success.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who can be both your couch buddy and your playmate, Cowboy might just be your perfect match. 🤎

WE DID IT… and then some! 🎉🐾

We are beyond ecstatic to share our final GiveLocalNRV Giving Day total…

💙 $5,753 in donations
💛 $250 Golden Ticket prize
🎉 GRAND TOTAL: $6,003

Because of this incredible community, we didn’t just reach our goal — we TRIPLED our original $2,000 goal!

We are overwhelmed in the best way. Humbled. Grateful. Emotional. And so incredibly reminded that this rescue does not stand alone.

To every donor, supporter, follower, volunteer, and cheerleader who shared, gave, encouraged, and believed in our mission — thank you. We could not have done this without you.

Your generosity will directly help us continue saying “yes” to dogs in need and provide the medical care, supplies, and support they deserve.

From the bottom of our hearts… thank you for making this moment possible. What a great way to wrap up our very first Giving Day! 🐶❤️

This is what the final hour of Giving Day looks like at Little Big Dog Rescue 😳🐾

One volunteer down, one giant dog (Artemis) using her as a mattress, and absolutely zero time left to be dramatic because donations close at NOON!

The dogs have demands. The clock is ticking. The panic is real.

We’ve got until NOON to squeeze in every last donation possible, and apparently there’s no time for naps, snacks, or emotional stability. 😂

We’re in the home stretch and every dollar helps us keep showing up for the dogs who need us most. If you’ve been waiting to donate… this is your sign from the rescue chaos gods. 😵‍💫

UPDATE 10:12AM: Only $317 to go to reach $5,000! 😬😬😬😬

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Excuse me… Artemis here. 😜

I dare you to push us over $5,000 before NOON.

I’ve already done my part by rolling in the grass, putting on my Giving Day shirt, and serving this face for the cause. Now it’s your turn to step up for me and all of my friends at Little Big Dog Rescue! 💙🐾

Every donation helps dogs like me get the care, love, and second chances we deserve — so go ahead… prove me right. I dare you. 😏

Volunteer Spotlight: Jenna 💜🐾

Jenna’s journey with LBDR started after hearing PB’s story, and we’re so grateful it led her to us. While she didn’t end up fostering PB, she opened her home to 4 puppies in need and has continued volunteering and temp fostering along the way.

She shares that one of the most rewarding parts of fostering is watching scared dogs learn what it means to be safe, loved, and finally find their forever families. Even with a busy household of 3 children and 2 dogs of her own, Jenna still makes room to help rescue dogs in need — and her kids have become some pretty amazing fostering assistants along the way. 💕

Thank you, Jenna, for the love, patience, and heart you pour into every dog you help. Volunteers like you are what make Little Big Dog Rescue possible. 🐶✨

Want to support fosters like Jenna and the dogs they save? Donate today through GiveLocalNRV and help us continue saying yes to dogs in need!

$4,000!!! 🎉🐾

Because of YOU, we officially hit the $4,000 mark on Giving Day—and we are beyond grateful!

But with only a few hours left, we’re not slowing down now. The needs don’t stop at $4,000, and neither does our commitment to the dogs depending on us every single day. From medical care and food to supplies and safe foster homes, every dollar raised helps us keep saying YES to dogs in need.

Just look at this sweet moment between Artemis and her foster mom… this is why we do it. 💜

They are counting on us, and we want to make these final hours count.

If you’ve been waiting to give, now is the time to help us finish Giving Day as strong as possible!

🚨 WE ARE INCHES AWAY FROM $4,000!! 🚨

Like… someone hold our paws because we are about to lose it! 🤯🐾

Little Big Dog Rescue is sitting at $3,943 on GiveLocalNRV, which means we are just $57 away from hitting $4,000! 🎉🔥

Who’s going to be the hero of the hour?

The MVP. The legend. The person who says, “Yeah, I helped those rescue dogs crush their goal.” 😎🐶

If you’ve been waiting for your sign to donate… THIS IS IT.

Help us blast past $4,000 and finish our very first Giving Day like the rockstars these dogs know we are. 💜✨
