We give monthly for all the good work you do in saving and rescuing all dogs but especially pitties. We have the sweetest dog (Lilo) and would have never known this without your organization.

I give $25 a month because it's the least I can do to support this wonderful org and the amazing work they do to help these beautiful animals. I have always adopted rescues -they are simply the best!

We support TLRD every month because they brought Ernie into our lives. Without the incredible work they do Ernie, and all the gorgeous dogs like him, wouldn’t have the chance of a happy life.

Frequently Asked Questions
How will I know how my donation is being used?
100% of your monthly donation will go towards the vet care, food and supplies of a dog who needs to be rescued from a high kill shelter or off the streets.
You will receive regular email updates on the specific dogs you helped save with their stories.
How much does it cost to save a dog?
On average, it costs us $690 to save one healthy dog. This covers an initial exam, spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, blood/fecal tests, grooming, transportation, food, supplies and vet boarding if needed. If the dog comes to us sick or requires extra care like a dental, biopsies, surgeries, medication, etc., it can cost upwards of $1,200.
Our adoption donation fees are only $375-$475, meaning we have to fundraise the rest and that's where your donations go!
Can I change/cancel my donation?
Yes, you can change or cancel your monthly donation at any time, no questions asked. Please email steve@thelittlereddog.org to change or cancel your monthly donation.
Is this a tax-deductible donation?
Yes! After your donation, you will receive an email receipt.
Why is it called The Pack?
Here at TLRD, we are strong believers that dogs are pack animals and humans need to be confident pack leaders to provide the best possible care for their dog(s). Teaching this philosophy and training humans about dog behavior not only helps our community become better dog owners, but reduces the number of dogs being dumped in the shelter.
Packs are extended families – they insure everyone is cared for, fed, and has somewhere safe to sleep at night. So what better name to give this community than The Pack?!
