My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sissy is a medium-sized dog with a coat that shines in the sunlight. Her most distinctive feature is her front left paw, which is slightly deformed due to a presumed birth defect. Despite this, she moves around with remarkable agility and grace, jumping on and off of couches, and romping through the yard with her foster siblings. Her eyes, large and soulful, reflect her gentle and loving nature.

Sissy is an absolute sweetheart. Despite any challenges she may have faced, she exudes positivity and resilience. She is incredibly affectionate, always eager to give cuddles and receive belly rubs in return. Sissy has a nurturing spirit, evident in her maternal care for her previous litter of puppies. She's patient and kind, making her an ideal companion for families or individuals seeking unconditional love.

Sissy was found as a stray, pregnant and struggling to fend for herself. Despite her hardships, she never lost her trusting and loving nature. She was rescued by a compassionate individual who provided her with the care and support she needed to safely deliver her puppies. Now that her puppies have found loving homes of their own, Sissy is ready to embark on her own journey to find a forever family.Big Paws of the Ozarks is a foster-based dog rescue in Northwest Arkansas. We require an approved adoption application on file before scheduling meets with our dogs. You can find the application here (www.bigpawsozarks.org/adoption-application). Please email info@bigpawsoftheozarks.org if you have specific questions about an available dog.

More about this rescue

Big Paws of the Ozarks is a foster-based dog rescue in Northwest Arkansas. We aim to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs in our local community. We specialize in large breed dogs (over 40 pounds) but do get the occasional small paw in rescue too! We work closely with shelters and other rescues in our community to target and save dogs who are at risk of euthanasia or have found themselves falling between the cracks of our animal rescue community.
