$75K in 30 Days: We Need You Now

We have 30 days to raise $75,000—and we need our community behind us.

For nearly 15 years, The Little Red Dog has been there when dogs had nowhere else to go. We've saved more than 8,000 dogs, many pulled from shelters when their time was running out.

But right now, TLRD needs help too.

In 2023, after the pandemic made foster homes increasingly difficult to find, we took the biggest risk in our history and opened the Red Dog House. At the time, nearly 200 dogs were in our care, and we desperately needed another option.

We believed the facility could provide a safe place for dogs while generating revenue to support our rescue work. Unfortunately, the investment needed to make the model successful never materialized, and we ultimately closed the facility and returned to foster-based rescue.

But closing the doors didn't make the financial consequences disappear.

Those obligations are now putting tremendous pressure on our ability to continue our lifesaving work.

And the dogs haven't stopped needing us.

Smokey had minutes left.

Just days ago, Smokey was scheduled to be euthanized. We got the call with only minutes to spare.

We said YES. And Smokey is alive today.

But we need your help to make sure we can keep saying yes.

Our goal is $75,000 in 30 days.

Your gift—whether it's $25, $50, $100, $500 or more—will help us address the financial pressures facing TLRD while protecting our ability to continue saving dogs like Smokey.

If you can't donate, share this campaign or start a fundraiser for TLRD. Every person who helps gets us closer.

The Red Dog House was a chapter in our story. It was never the story.

More than 8,000 dogs have already been saved.

Please help make sure Smokey isn't one of the last.

$75,000. 30 days. Help us keep saying YES. ❤️🐾
