My story

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

Mugsy is a loyal and dedicated working dog with a heart of gold. Despite his rugged exterior, he is incredibly gentle and affectionate with those he trusts. Mugsy is highly intelligent and perceptive, always vigilant and ready to protect his flock. He thrives on routine and structure, making him an ideal companion for those with experience in handling livestock guardian dogs.

He has experience living with birds and has shown promise in his ability to adapt to his role as a working dog. While he hasn't had extensive experience in a working environment, Mugsy is eager to learn and will benefit greatly from the guidance of an experienced LGD owner.

As a solo working dog, Mugsy will need an owner who can provide him with the training he requires. He thrives in environments where he can have a job to do and a flock to protect. Mugsy will need proper socialization and exposure to different livestock to ensure he is comfortable and effective in his role.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.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process is thorough in order to ensure dogs go to the best possible home.

We often get multiple applications for each dog, and choose applicants based off the best possible fit for each 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.
