Non-Profit Dog rescue, Orange County, CA
Foster. Adopt. Donate. Advocate.
At The Little Red Dog, Inc., our mission extends beyond just being a non-profit dog rescue; we are a community dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs in need. When you stroll through our rescue, you’re not just observing dogs; you’re witnessing transformations—stories of resilience that tug at your heartstrings. You will fall in love with a pup that isn’t just waiting for a home; they’re waiting to share their life with you!
A Haven for Rescues
Our rescue is home to many dogs, each carrying their unique story—like Max, who overcame a chewed-up past to become a certified therapy dog. From tales of abuse to unfortunate abandonment, our mission is to pick up the pieces and nurture these loyal companions back to health. We believe every dog deserves a second chance—even if they might believe they’re the “pick of the litter.”
Comprehensive Dog Behavior Training
We know that a well-trained dog is a happy dog! Our professional trainers use positive reinforcement techniques that not only teach essential commands but also build confidence and a sense of community in these often-timid souls. Those obligatory “sit” and “stay” commands? Consider them handled—and we may even teach them how to fetch a snack from the fridge (Okay, maybe not, but don’t we all wish?).

How To Rehome Your Pet
Rehoming a pet is a tough decision, but knowing how to do it the right way is very important—for both your pet and their future family. Many animals end up in crowded shelters where they may not get the care or attention they need. When you take the time to find a safe, loving home yourself, you give your pet a much better chance at a happy future. It also helps avoid situations where pets are taken in by people who aren't ready or able to care for them. Being honest about your pet’s behavior, energy level, and health is key to finding the right match. Meeting adopters in person and charging a small rehoming fee can help avoid unsafe or careless placements. Learning how to rehome responsibly protects your pet, gives you peace of mind, and helps reduce the pressure on shelters. For a step-by-step guide, visit The Little Red Dog’s full article.
Fostering—The Heart of Our Community
Fostering is at the core of our mission. By volunteering a little space in your heart and home, you can help change a dog’s life forever. During their stay with fosters, dogs receive the care and love they need, along with training that molds them into wonderful companions. Plus, who doesn’t love to say they’re the “foster parent” of a four-legged ball of joy?
