“I am sometimes asked 'Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?' I answer: 'I am working at the roots.'”—George T.Angell

Little Rascals Rescue is a foster based 501c3 non profit animal rescue founded on the belief that a few caring people can make a difference in many animals lives. In Maricopa county alone 900 animals are euthanized a week. That number is way too high and through the effort of rescue groups like ourselves we believe we can make an impact on the lives of the many animals being euthanized daily. We live by the mantra 1 adopted and 2 saved, meaning every time someone adopts an animal from us we go pick up another off the euthanasia list, so thats 2 lives you save by adopting one animal. Our group is dedicated to saving the animals other rescue groups just can't save, mainly the medical and behavioral cases. That doesn't mean we won't have plenty of highly adoptable animals also.

A very special dog named Rudy

Rudy is a sweet 2 year old samoyed with only 2 legs! He was pulled from the euthanasia list at county where he was turned in as a stray. We first thought that Rudy had a birth defect, but after meeting his new friend Dr. Soderstrom, a veterinary specialist, we now are thinking quite differently. After viewing xrays, Dr. Soderstrom believes that Rudy had to chew his own legs off! He might have been hit by a car, or something that gave him such extreme pain and discomfort that he would result to doing this to himself. We think that Rudy has been living on his own with this condition for awhile. He has even learned to get around by walking in a handstand on his 2 remaining front feet. Rudy is such an amazing kid with so much love to give. He loves everything big and small including all of his kitty and doggy friends. He has so much happiness in him and wants so much to just be loved back! He will do anything for a hug! Despite his condition Rudy still seems to have amazing zest for life, but he still has a long journey ahead of him and he needs your help.

His medical bills will not be cheap! He is currently undergoing prednisone therapy and will be having surgery soon to remove the rest of his back legs that are causing him pain. We still have a long road to making him as comfortable as possible. He also has a wheelchair cart he will be getting used to as soon as his doctor says he is ready. Please make a donation to help the great people who have saved Rudys wonderful life and the lives of many more animals in need of just a little more tender care. Thank you so much!

The only way rescues survive is through donations or grants through the public or corporate world. Money is always a great way to help, but we also always need food, treats, chewys, toys, litter, towels, washcloths, blankets, pillows, bowls, leashes, sheets, kmr or goatmilk powder, and anything that would benefit the well being of the dogs and cats in their stay with us. If you want to help in a big way sponsor a donation drive in the community for the items listed. Every little bit helps and is graciously appreciated.

"A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality."
John Lennon

Our featured pet is Hope a 1 year old blind chihuahua mix.

Our little blind girl got adopted today!!! She was such a sweet heart. Couldn't have hoped for a better couple for her to go with. She really seemed to like them and her new sis. Yay for Hope!!! Everyone has that right family out there for them all we have to do is to believe it to be true and save all that we can.

An example of what we are all about.

Here is a medical case we just took in after other rescues passed her up due to the extensive treatment needed. Tink is a 16 year old chihuahua that needs a huge dental surgery and a very big mammary tumor that needs to be removed. She was obviously bred and tossed aside when she was no longer needed. This is a good example of what the donations, guardian angel dogs, and the guardian angel sponsors go to help. The medical cost will be over 1000 dollars, this is why others passed right over her. If you have the chance to meet this sweet little girl you will understand why we can no longer pass these medical cases over as well.

Update on tink.

She had her surgery and it was more involved than expected. She had 4 mammary tumors found and removed. She had major teeth problems as expected. We ended up removing all but 2 teeth! And also discovered she had a broken lower jaw that was split in the middle that was an old injury. She is recovering wonderfully. You can tell she feels so much better and improving daily. Tink is a very special girl that was horribly neglected and deserves her shot at happiness.
