“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.

Featured Pet

Buddy is a 2 year old Airdale terrier with 3 legs and 1 eye. We got him from the Humane Society in Pine top. His owner said that he fell out of a truck as a puppy and that is how he lost his back right leg. When Buddy came to us his right eye was open but there was only an infected lump inside and constantly draining so we had the eye surgically removed and stitched up. Buddy is looking and feeling a lot better now and would love to join his new family. He is such an awesome dog and loves attention once he knows you. He is a smart terrier and takes a couple minutes on first meeting to make sure you are safe, but then he is your best friend. He loves to run around after toys in the yard and bounces around you in excitement that you are spending time with him. He was not well socialized or loved as a puppy and has trouble in new environments and with new people. Being at adoptions in Petco terrifies him and he just shuts down. Its too many people too fast all at one time for him. We have been working with Buddy now since January and he is making improvements daily. He still does not want to be buddy buddy with any dogs large or small but will do ok if they leave him alone and he has gotten the chance to get to know them. He also hates the cats and is always barking at them. What he craves and what he wants is human attention. He bonds very quickly to his caretaker and will do anything for them. He is a great companion and friend. Due to his low confidence level we don’t think Buddy would like to live with small children.

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 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!
