My story

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

Meet Football- a sweet, loving red boy with the most expressive, inquisitive eyebrows that make him look adorably concerned about everything. Football’s story began on a rainy day at Devil’s Den State Park, where he was found tied up and waiting for someone to show him kindness. Despite his rough start, this gentle soul has nothing but love to give.

Football walks beautifully on a leash and enjoys spending time with other dogs. He’s the kind of companion who just wants to be near you, soaking up affection and returning it tenfold. If you’re looking for a loyal friend with a big heart and even bigger puppy-dog eyes, Football is ready to love you forever.

Football is currently undergoing Heartworm treatment. His treatment requires lots of rest and is coordinated and paid for by Big Paws of the Ozarks.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.
