A Lifelong Mission to Protect and Rehome

Since 2008, Big Paws Large Breed Rescue has been more than just a shelter—it has been a promise to never turn away a dog in need. What started in a small hometown has grown into a dedicated rescue where no dog is given a deadline, and every pet is treated like family. 

Unlike shelters that also take in strays, our focus on owner surrenders allows us to create a stable environment, giving each dog a higher chance of finding the perfect forever home. Our passion is rooted in more than just rescue—we believe in creating opportunities for dogs to thrive. 

Whether through our commitment to humane care, our dedication to finding responsible adopters, or even through the creation of our own line of gourmet dog food, everything we do is focused on giving dogs the best possible future. Every adoption, every meal, and every moment spent with these animals is a testament to the belief that they all deserve love, safety, and a second chance.
