What are the criteria for a dog you can help rehome?

We specialize in rehoming small breed dogs and puppies. We are a home-to-home service, so your dog must be able to stay with you during the process.

How long does rehoming take?

There is no fixed timeline. Some dogs may be matched within days, while others take weeks or longer. We focus on a suitable home, not the fastest placement.

Do I get a say in who adopts my dog?

Absolutely. Your comfort and confidence are our priority. We will present our carefully selected and pre-screened family recommendation to you first. Once you are happy and give us the green light, we move forward with the official adoption process for the new family, which includes arranging the introduction to your dog.

Is there a surrender fee?

Rehoming is a free, judgement-free service, although voluntary administrative contributions are always welcome.

Can I change my mind?

Yes. If your circumstances change before an adoption is finalised, tell us. We will pause the process and talk through the safest next step for your dog.

Do you help bonded pairs?

Yes, where possible. Tell us if two dogs rely on each other. We will consider whether they should stay together and look for applicants who can meet their needs.

How are applicants screened?

Applicants are reviewed through an adoption application, conversation, references or home checks where appropriate, and suitability for the specific dog. Final steps depend on the dog's needs and the home.

What happens if my dog has behavioural or medical needs?

Please tell us as much as you can upfront. Behavioural or medical needs do not automatically mean we cannot help, but they do affect the type of home, timing, and advice we give.

Our Donors & Certificates - Little Doggy Rescue

Thank You to Our Incredible Supporters!

Every dog deserves a chance to find their forever home. Because we operate on a home-to-home rescue model, our biggest expense isn’t kennels or shelters—it is the massive advertising costs required to get these beautiful small breed dogs seen by the right adoptive families. Your donations fund this vital outreach, making every single adoption possible.

Below are the official certificates of appreciation we have issued to our wonderful community members. Please note: To respect our donors’ privacy, we do not display donation amounts on these public certificates.
