I came across a Little Doggy Rescue post on Facebook. From the moment I responded to the post, the team were great, responded to messages quickly asked and answered all questions thoroughly. With in day everything was organised, home check, interview and the very next day we could go collect our new child. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with them.

In May 2026, I saw the face of a sweet Chihuahua on Facebook, and thought I will reply and see what happens. That was a Friday evening, by Sunday afternoon, LouwQI ( now Loki) was in my house. The process was painless, smooth and the only important issue was Loki's happiness and safety. We are like glue. Thank you for making this happen!

Little Doggie Rescue is a pleasant surprise.
Very professional and very easy to work with. Eager to help you on adopting the pet you will forever love.
I would use them again if I ever want to adopt again. Highly recommend them as a friendly caring rescue organisation.

Dear Little Doggy Rescue,

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the incredible work you do.

Throughout the entire rehoming process, your team was supportive, compassionate, caring and professional every step of the way. It was clear that your priority was finding the right home while also making the experience as smooth and reassuring as possible for everyone involved.

Thank you for your kindness, dedication and the genuine care you show to both the animals and the families who welcome them into their homes. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Little Doggy Rescue to anyone looking to adopt.

Keep up the amazing work.

Kind regards,

Herc Hlengwa
