Our Featured Pet... Cece
Please look for our "Pet of the Month" Maggie
Who We Are
We are a small group of rescuers who joined together to care for
homeless dogs and make them available for people who want a new family
member. These dogs live in volunteer's homes as family members until
they are adopted. We strive to match the adopter with the right dog.
Everyone must submit an application before an appointment is made to
come and meet the dogs. We also do a home visit before placing a dog in
your home. IMPORTANT NOTICE: We are in desperate need of foster homes.
If you are a dog lover, you could help us save little dogs one at a
time. Li'l Lap Dog Rescue is actively looking for people who will take
ONE dog into their home until it is adopted. This is sometimes as short
as one month or as long as 3 mos. You must complete a foster application
and have a home visit. Please consider fostering.
Adopting a friend
Do you really want a rescue dog? Do you want a dog who may not be
housetrained; may have health issues that might be ongoing for some time
or maybe for life; a baby who needs lots of love and attention; one who
might not be beautiful or perfectly groomed; who might chew up your
favourite slippers; and who might take a little time to adjust to your
home and friends??? If you can answer "YES" to these questions, a rescue
dog just might be exactly what you need. An application to adopt will be
emailed to you upon request. This is a commitment. These dogs need
stable and loving homes to help them get over any bad memories they may
have. Please email your questions, phone calls may not be returned due
to the large volume. Appointments must be made to meet the dogs we have
in our rescue. The location of the foster family is listed with each
dog. Contact the foster to set up an appointment to meet your favorite.
We also request that you be willing to drive to pick up your new family
member or make arrangements with the foster home to share the drive. We
attempt to send these dogs to their new homes as happy and healthy as we
are able, but there are no guarantees. The end result is up to you.
Donations/fees for adopting are based on each dog and it's needs. Senior
dogs and special needs dogs adoption donations are normally $150-$225.
Adults range between $200 to $325. Puppies under 2 years range from $275 to $395. The adoption fee helps cover
expenses for the dogs while in the rescue program including the vet
check, vaccines, heartworm testing, stool check, spay/neuter plus other
necessary veterinary care and training to get the dog ready for
adoption. We may have several people applying for the same dog. We will
make our selection based upon which applicant we feel would make the
best "forever home" for this particular dog, taking into consideration
the dog's temperament and personality. Remember, we are an ALL volunteer
organization so please be patient as we process your application. We do NOT do same-day adoptions!
