Testimonials
I just need to say I am really impressed with your website, but more importantly the training and support offered to foster families. Keep up the good work. -Linda D.
I wanted to compliment you and whomever else deserves the credit; this organization is one of the best run I have ever dealt with. The process is steamlined and hasslefree and makes it the enjoyable process it should be! Thank you again so much. -Morgan B
Thank you to Big Dog Huge Paws! The journey has been a long and challenging one and we sincerely appreciate everyone that helped us find and obtain our big, furry, baby boy! To find people of this caliber with a rescue organization is fantastic, and to coordinate and facilitate all of this took a lot of time and work on everyone's part. Gas prices are high, time is precious, and we all have our own lives that we're fordging through. Please know that what you are doing/have done matters deeply to the soul of the world. You are all incredible people! -Thomas A.
Mission
Big Dogs Huge Paws Rescue is a 501C3, non-profit organization comprised of volunteers dedicate to rescuing, rehoming and rehabilitating unwanted giant breed dogs that have been mistreated, neglected, abused, and/or abandoned.
Background Statement
Big Dogs Huge Paws was founded in June 2008 on the core philosophy is that every "BIG" dog deserves a chance. Our goal is to make sure that every dog receives only the best of care, food, and training. We will also ensure that they are properly evaluated (medically and behaviorally) and placed according to their special needs. Our medical officer and veterinarian team will provide first aid training to all foster volunteers and health seminars about the latest developments in animal medicine. We work actively with professional behaviorists who train each foster home how to handle introductions, properly evaluate dogs, work through specific behavioral issues, etc. Foster families undergo quarterly training sessions in order to maintain everyone's skills and abilities and ensure that the entire foster team is on the same page and has the tools they need for success. We will be working toward a special therapy dog training program as we identify dogs that would be good candidates and other potential partnerships. Eventually, our goal is to secure an actual facility where we can work with special behavioral or medical cases to give them the optimal chance of success!
