Get ready with us for the Big Day of Giving 2025!

The Big Day of Giving is coming on May 1st! Big Day of Giving is an annual fundraiser for non-profits in the Sacramento region to get involved in. Money raised from this donation drive helps us to run our rescue for the rest of the year and funds donated go towards important medical procedures such as spays and neuters, dental work and blood work. Click here for more information!

We have some fantastic friendly small dogs looking for their forever homes. Could you be the one for them? We also specialize in senior, neglected and hard to place dogs.

This means that some of our rescue dogs have come from awful backgrounds, just like Benny.
Benny was found in this junk pile.
He was brought into Little Paws Doggie Rescue...
...and is now happy with his new family!

What People Say

The reality is that Marty, formerly known as Mutt, rescued us in so many ways.

The day after losing my Chica baby, of 13 years, I found your litter of puppies on petfinder.com. Little Paws was so informative about their personalities and history which helped me make a decision to adopt a puppy. So I have now adopted two adorable puppies, not one.

Grayson, a.k.a. Mocha is doing great. He is now 8 pounds. He has been such a wonderful pet for me, so lovable. Good decision on my part. May any Lost Dog be so lucky to have you rescue them. If Mocha could say thank you, he would.

Little Paws Doggie Rescue is a well run organization with a goal of placing rescued dogs in quality forever homes. First class care and food is provided for the dogs while awaiting adoption. The adoption fees are very reasonable considering the level of care that is given. I'm totally in love with the dog I adopted from Little Paws.
