Second Chances for Blind Dogs 2027 Calendar

The wonderful people at Second Chances for Blind Dogs produce an annual calendar, and for the November page they have featured our adorable Penny! Penny (originally named Roxie), is pictured as the first dog on the top left. Penny was adopted earlier this year and was generously donated a halo to help her get around safely.

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!

Some of our adopted dogs now in loving homes!
