Story
We took Rascal in after his abusive owner went to jail. We have been trying to get him into a home and its been a challenge because of his age and the fact that he has some aggression. He has no teeth so he requires food that can be smashed. He has been around my dogs and my kids and the only time he gets aggressive is when he thinks he needs to "protect" like when my boys are playing fighting. I think he has been through alot and it probably sets him off from his past. With his past owner he was living in a storage and also outside in a freezing car. We havr gotten him to a point where he is so much better. We just cant keep him much longer. We have a really busy schedule and nobody is home during the days to let him outside. But he is a sweet and loves his blankets.

Story
🦌❄️ Dasher — Yes, That Dasher (of Reindeer Pup Fame)Every holiday story needs a gentle soul… and Dasher is absolutely that guy.Born into the legendary Reindeer Pup Litter (with siblings Donner, Blitzen, Vixen, and Dancer), Dasher didn’t come charging out of the gate — he tiptoed in with soft eyes, a calm heart, and a strong preference for cuddling over chaos.Dasher is the reindeer who volunteers to ride in the middle.The one who checks in on everyone.The one who says, “We good?” before nap time. 🥹At just 11 weeks old, he’s already showing what a thoughtful, sensitive little soul he is. He’s sweet and affectionate with people, loves snuggling, and prefers quiet confidence over rough-and-tumble play. He enjoys playing with his sibling Dancer, but is a bit shy with bigger dogs — the kind of pup who would thrive with an older, calm dog sibling to show him the ropes (or be perfectly happy as your one-and-only).Dasher listens beautifully for a baby, comes when called, and is already doing great with potty pads and outdoor potty breaks. At night, he sleeps tucked safely in an enclosure with his sibling, and during the day you’ll find him curled up on the couch next to a human, soaking up love like it’s his full-time job.He’s gentle, submissive, playful in a soft way, and just a little shy — the kind of puppy who doesn’t demand attention but absolutely melts when you give it.If you’re looking for a puppy who feels like a deep breath, a cozy blanket, and a quiet Christmas morning all rolled into one tiny reindeer…Dasher is ready to trot straight into your heart.⸻📍 Dasher’s Details • Name: Dasher • Sex: Male • Age: 11 weeks • Weight: ~7 lbs • Breed (best guess): Chiweenie / Pit mix • Location: Prentice, WI🐾 The Important Stuff • Housebroken: Working on it — doing great with pads & outdoor potty • Crate trained: Yes • Leash trained: In progress and doing well • Kid friendly: Yes • Dog friendly: Yes (shy with larger dogs, loves calm pups) • Cat friendly: Indifferent • UTD on vaccines: Yes (rabies when age-appropriate) • Microchipped: Yes • Neutered: No (too young)💵 Adoption Fee: $500 + $150 spay/neuter deposit👉 Apply to adopt Dasher: www.biggiepawsrescue.orgDATCP # 494550

Story
⚡ Meet Blitzen ⚡(One of our festive Reindeer pups — quiet sparkle included.)Blitzen is part of our adorable Reindeer litter, and while she shares the holiday theme with her siblings, she brings her own gentle kind of magic. She’s the soft twinkle of lights on the tree — calm, sweet, and quietly stealing hearts without even trying.This little lady can be shy at first, but once she feels safe, her personality shines through in playful bursts of zoomies, toy tossing, and cozy cuddle sessions that end with her snoozing happily on your lap. She loves being close to her people and has a special talent for curling up exactly where she belongs — couch, bed, lap… dealer’s choice.Blitzen enjoys playing with other dogs and does especially well with calm, friendly companions. She’s also perfectly content being an only pup, soaking up all the love and attention. When the world feels a bit big, she’ll tuck herself under a table or bed to recharge — then pop back out ready for affection like nothing ever happened.She listens well, comes when called, and is learning all the important puppy things at her own sweet pace. With patience, consistency, and lots of love, Blitzen will grow into a loyal little shadow who sticks close and loves deeply.⸻🐾 Blitzen at a Glance • Age: DOB 10/21/2025 • Sex: Female • Weight: ~7 lbs • Breed (best guess): Chiweenie / Pit mix • Location: Kenosha, WI🏡 Home Life • Housebroken: Working on it; uses puppy pads and goes outside • Crate trained: Eats and relaxes in crate • Leash trained: Working on it • Kids: Yes • Dogs: Yes • Cats: Unknown❤️ Personality • Sweet, gentle, and affectionate • Calm with playful moments • Loves cuddling and lap naps • A little shy, very loving • Enjoys toys and doggy friends🩺 Vetting • Up to date on age-appropriate vaccines • Microchipped: will be • Spay: too young💰 Adoption Fee$500 adoption fee + $150 spay depositDATCP # 494550

🦊 Meet Vixen(Yes, the name fits — and no, she’s not sorry about it.)Vixen is part of our merry little Reindeer litter, and she’s the one who keeps things interesting. Curious, playful, and just a touch mischievous, she’s the kind of puppy who makes you laugh even while she’s learning the rules.She’s been working hard on potty training (even braving chilly Wisconsin weather like a champ) and is catching on quickly with consistency and routine. Vixen loves people and other animals, but she’s also very respectful of cues — a thoughtful little lady who knows when it’s time to play and when it’s time to settle.At night, she’s happy to curl up with humans or snuggle near her furry friends, and she also does well sleeping in a covered crate. She’s affectionate without being overwhelming, playful without being wild, and always watching what’s going on around her — because Vixen likes to stay in the know.If you’re looking for a puppy with a fun spirit, a curious mind, and a personality that keeps unfolding, Vixen might just be your girl.⸻🐾 Vixen at a Glance • DOB: 10/11/2025 • Age: ~12 weeks • Sex: Female • Weight: ~8 lbs • Breed (best guess): Chiweenie / Pit mix • Location: Jackson, WI🏡 Home Life • Housebroken: Working on it • Crate trained: Yes (does well in a covered crate) • Leash trained: Working on it • Kids: Yes • Dogs & Cats: Yes🩺 Vetting • Up to date on age-appropriate vaccines • Microchipped • Not spayed (too young)💰 Adoption Fee$500 adoption fee + $150 spay depositDATCP # 494550

💃 DANCER 💃Part of the Reindeer Litter. Yes, she prances.Dancer came to Biggie Paws with her reindeer-themed litter, and honestly? The name fits. She’s light on her paws, big on confidence, and absolutely convinced she’s the main character.At 11 weeks old, Dancer is the perfect mix of sweet and sassy. She’s playful, outgoing, curious about everything, and always ready to see what you’re doing (and why she should be involved). She loves toys, puppy wrestling, and couch cuddles with her humans. When she’s tired, she’ll happily curl up and recharge for her next performance.She’s currently in a foster home with her brother, where she’s learning all the important puppy skills — potty training with pads and outside breaks, crate time, leash basics, and listening when it’s time to come inside (most of the time… she is a puppy).Dancer would be perfectly happy as an only dog or with a playful canine sibling. She’s social, adaptable, and has that easygoing puppy confidence that makes her fun to live with.Dancer’s Details: • Female | 11 weeks old • Approx. 6.5 lbs • Possible breed: Chiweenie / Pit mix (best guess) • Location: Prentice, WI • House training: In progress — doing great • Crate trained: Yes • Leash training: In progress • Kid friendly: Yes • Dog friendly: Yes • Cat friendly: Indifferent • UTD on age-appropriate vaccines • Microchipped • Not spayed (too young)💵 Adoption Fee: $500➕ $150 spay/neuter deposit (returned upon proof of surgery)If you’re looking for a puppy with personality, confidence, and just enough sass to keep life interesting — Dancer is ready to steal the show.👉 Apply at www.biggiepawsrescue.orgDATCP # 494550

Story
Meet Fresno, a spunky little guy with a soft side waiting to shine! Fresno is about 3 years old and full of personality. He is crate trained and currently working on potty training (cold weather is definitely not his favorite!). Fresno is a sensitive soul who can be anxious and nervous in new situations and is slow to warm up, which may sometimes come across as being a bit nippy when he’s unsure. Because of this, Fresno will need a child-free home with someone who has prior dog experience and understands how to work patiently with dogs who need time, structure, and reassurance. With consistency, gentle guidance, and continued confidence-building, Fresno has great potential to grow into a more secure and trusting companion. Once Fresno feels safe and bonded, his sweet side comes out—he enjoys relaxing and napping with his people and truly values quiet companionship. He would do best in a calm, predictable home where his boundaries are respected and his progress is celebrated. If you’re an experienced, patient adopter looking for a dog who will form a deep bond and reward your efforts with trust and affection, Fresno could be the perfect fit.
