Glimmer of Life Foundation

Located on South University Drive in Davie, the Glimmer of Life Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit small-dog rescue organization dedicated to saving the lives of sick, injured, senior, and abandoned toy and small-breed companion dogs across South Florida. Operating as an independent charitable entity housed inside TeaCups, Puppies and Boutique in Davie, the foundation focuses on rescuing vulnerable small dogs that require immediate medical intervention.

The organization takes in Yorkshire Terriers, Maltese, Pomeranians, Shih Tzus, Schnauzers, Chihuahuas, and small terrier mixes suffering from neglect, congenital conditions, or untreated injuries. Each rescued dog receives comprehensive veterinary care, surgical procedures when needed, dental work, vaccinations, microchipping, and spay-and-neuter surgery before being cleared for adoption. Davie foster volunteers nurture each dog through recovery with nutritious meals, gentle exercise, and positive socialization alongside family members and other household pets.

Prospective adopters can view featured small dogs on the Glimmer of Life Foundation website, submit an online adoption application, and call the Davie location to speak with the rescue director and schedule a visit. Community members can also support the foundation through tax-deductible donations that directly fund emergency veterinary treatments. Every tax-deductible gift to Glimmer of Life Foundation directly funds diagnostic testing, surgeries, vaccinations, and daily care for rescued Broward County dogs.
