About Us
The Little Angel's Mission
Little Angel’s has a mission to promote the wellbeing of dogs through foster and adoption.
Provide dogs with a safe and loving space while we find them their forever home.
Equip foster parents so that dogs can learn the skills needed to reach their full potential in their future home.
By adhering to this mission, Little Angels hopes to help more dogs find their loving and supportive environment they deserve, while also increasing public understanding of canine welfare and responsible ownership.
What We Do Different
Little Angel’s is a non-profit organization with the mission to reduce animal homelessness and neglect in the community, utilizing a foster-first mentality in order to provide dogs in need an opportunity for family life. To ensure dogs get the best care possible and find permanent homes, Little Angel’s relies heavily on its partnerships and donations from kind individuals in search for animal welfare reform.
Fostering for the dog of your dreams at Little Angel's does not just benefit us - it benefits you, too! You have the opportunity to get to know a pup and ensure that they're a perfect fit for your lifestyle, home and family ahead of adoption by fostering them, during which we cover all of the associated costs like vaccinations and veterinary checkups. Our foster first program is designed to make sure that both dog and owner are happy with their new arrangement, so let's get ready to cuddle those sweet pups!
Partnering up with other like-minded groups is a great way to prove that anything and everything is possible when it comes to helping the pups. Not only does it allow us to move forward more quickly and efficiently, but it also allows us to strengthen relationships and connect with our local community. In times like these, it’s imperative to promote those partnerships so that together, we can accomplish our dreams of making a difference in the lives of pups everywhere!
As a non-profit organization, every single donation helps us get a little closer to reaching our mission, and even the smallest gift makes a difference. Your contribution fosters hope and spreads positivity in our community. When you donate to us, your generous gift helps fund our processes and programs that help pups in need. We are proud of the impact we have made and look forward to continuing it with your help. Little Angel's and the pups thank you!

A Brief History of Little Angel's
It all started with a few pups in need. Little Angel’s Dog Rescue opened its doors to these pups and gave them a safe place to call home in 2022. Since, our rescue has been dedicated to rescuing pups and providing shelter, medical care and training while they find their forever home.
While in college, Vanessa was searching through the internet when she discovered a new language. Fosters, Adoptions, Parvo, and Kill Shelters were some of this new language.
Vanessa had always pictured a dog as her best friend, the family pet, and the one that comforts you when you're sad. Not innocent dogs being marched to their deaths.
Motivated by the idea that dogs were being put down to make space for another dog that would share the same fate ignited a flame in Vanessa's heart.
Armed with motivation, Vanessa sought a rescue that would teach her how to save a dog.
What vets to use, what vaccinations are and when, how to potty train, how to reach out to people about fostering/adopting – just a small part of the education she received.
Now armed with education and that burning desire to save dogs, Little Angel's Dog Rescue was born. She has since rescued hundreds of dogs and plans on continuing for many years to come.
Thank you for your generous support.
You’re giving these vulnerable dogs a second chance at life and helping them find their forever home. This can make all the difference for those dogs who have been lost, abandoned or mistreated in the past – finally coming to an end and having them become part of a family. By supporting a local dog rescue, you also show your support for reducing over-population and animal abuse in our communities. Your donation will help fund vital care for adoptable animals and spaying/neutering initiatives that prevent future suffering.
