Mission

Big Fluffy Dog Rescue exists to rescue giant breed dogs and related mixes from euthanasia. We rehabilitate and provide medical care to dogs in need so that unwanted dogs can be placed in adoptive homes. We also work with shelters and the public to ensure that dogs in need have adequate care. In 2024, we expanded our program by constructing an onsite spay and neuter clinic which was completed in 2025.
