Our Little Fighters: Celebrating Resiliency
Our Little Fighters Program
Because every dog deserves a chance at the good dog life.
At Warrior Dog Rescue, we believe that every dog deserves a shot at the good dog life—especially those facing unique challenges. That’s why we created Little Fighters, a special program dedicated to celebrating and supporting dogs with disabilities. These incredible pups have faced obstacles with resilience, love, and an unbreakable spirit.
Dogs with disabilities are often overlooked, but they are just as deserving of love, happiness, and family. By giving them the spotlight, we hope to change perceptions, inspire compassion, and help them find the perfect match.
Together, we can give these brave souls the second chance they deserve. Thank you for being part of their journey!
What is the Little Fighters Program?
Celebrate Their Journey
Through Little Fighters, we share the inspiring stories of dogs who show remarkable courage and resilience. Their experiences remind us that life’s challenges don’t define us—love and determination do.
Find Loving Homes
By telling their stories, we help these special dogs connect with adopters who see their worth, understand their needs, and are ready to give them the forever homes they deserve.
Provide Critical Support
Funds raised through Little Fighters directly support medical care, specialized equipment, therapy, and the resources these dogs need to live happy, fulfilling lives.
Meet Our Little Fighters
Each dog in our Little Fighters program has a powerful story to tell. From mobility challenges and autoimmune diseases to vision and hearing impairments, amputations, neurological conditions, and chronic illnesses — these dogs embody bravery, resilience, and an endless capacity for love.

Felicity
Felicity has been through a lot in her young life, but this sweet girl is proof that a few extra bumps in the road don’t have to define your future!
Felicity has a chronic skin condition called dermatomyositis, which causes changes to her skin and fur. While it’s a lifelong condition, the good news is that it can be managed with daily care and medication to help keep it under control. She’s come a long way on her journey, including healing from some stubborn sores and having a partial tail amputation to help her recover. She’s made great progress, and we’re hopeful for lots of comfortable, happy days ahead.
Felicity will need a family willing to keep up with her simple daily medication routine. She currently takes pentoxifylline twice a day and a few supplements once a day- Welactin, Vitamin E, and Vitamin B. Her skin will need regular monitoring, too, but with consistency and continued veterinary guidance, her condition can be kept at bay.
Felicity is so much more than her medical history. She’s a sweet girl who deserves a family that sees her potential, not just her past. Her diagnosis doesn’t take away her ability to enjoy the good things in life or be a wonderful companion.
She doesn’t need someone to feel sorry for her—she needs someone willing to love her, stick to her routine, and give her the happy, secure home she deserves.
Her condition may be lifelong, but so is her capacity to be loved. Felicity is ready for her next chapter, and we can’t wait to see it begin.
Minny
Meet Minny!
At just three years old, Minny is ready for her next chapter—and we can’t wait to see what her future holds!
This beautiful Lab mix has hip dysplasia affecting both hips and degenerative joint disease. The good news is that surgery is not necessary at this time. For now, Minny’s care plan is focused on keeping her comfortable, monitoring for any signs of pain, and providing pain medication if needed with veterinary guidance. She currently receives a daily joint supplement to help support her joint health.
Even better, Minny is not showing any signs of pain right now and hasn’t since she came to us! She is enjoying her days without showing discomfort, and we’ll continue to keep a close eye on her to make sure she stays comfortable and happy.
But there’s so much more to Minny than her medical needs!
Minny is still a young dog with so much life ahead of her. We hope to find her people—someone who will look beyond her medical needs, appreciate her wonderful personality, and be ready to give her the love and thoughtful care she deserves. Minny has a personality that deserves to shine.
Minny deserves a chance to be someone’s beloved companion, to feel safe and cherished, and to experience the good dog life.
Because every dog deserves a chance at the good dog life—and we believe Minny has so many wonderful days ahead of her.
Toms
Meet Toms!
Toms has been on quite a journey, but this sweet boy is ready for his next chapter—and hopefully, a family to share it with!
After being adopted, Toms spent four years in a loving home of his own. Sadly, his owner passed away, and through no fault of his own, Toms found himself back in rescue. Losing his person and the life he knew was a big change, but we’re here to help him find his way to another loving home where he can settle in and feel safe again.
Toms has epilepsy, a condition that causes seizures and is managed with daily medication. He’s currently stable on his Keppra twice a day, with no seizures to report! While big changes or stressful situations can sometimes trigger seizures for him, Toms does well once he has time to settle in and feel comfortable. A calm environment and consistent routine will help him feel his best.
He’s also carrying a few extra pounds, so he’s working on getting his figure back! With a healthy diet, appropriate exercise, and a little time, we’re helping Toms work toward a healthier weight. Think of it as his own little wellness journey!
Toms will need a family committed to giving him medication consistently, helping him reach a healthier weight, and giving him patience as he adjusts to a new home.
Toms has already had four years of being someone’s beloved companion. Now, we hope he gets the chance to experience that kind of love again—with a few extra belly rubs, some healthy adventures, and a family to call his own.
His story has had an unexpected chapter, but his happily ever after could still be ahead. Toms is worth fighting for.
