Story
Meet Goose 🐾 Goose was found as a stray in Dolton, Alabama, covered in fleas and ticks and in need of some much-deserved care. After a soothing bath and plenty of TLC, this sweet boy got a fresh start—but he still needed a safe place to land while waiting for his forever home. That’s when Goose happily made his way to Big Dog Ranch Rescue, where he has been nothing but a joy. He is known to be very dog-friendly and great with people, making friends wherever he goes. Goose is soaking up the love and care at the ranch, but what he truly wants is a place to call home. With his gentle nature, friendly personality, and grateful heart, Goose has all the qualities of a perfect pup. If you’re looking for a loving companion who’s ready to start his next chapter, Goose is hoping that chapter begins with you. 💙

Story
Meet Nancy, a 2-year-old English Bulldog with the sweetest soul and the cutest little wiggle! Nancy came to Big Dog Ranch Rescue alongside her three siblings when their owner could no longer care for them. While that transition was a big change, Nancy has remained the loving, gentle girl she’s always been — and now she’s ready to find a forever family of her own. This adorable bulldog is as sweet as they come. She loves cuddles and will happily soak up all the affection you’re willing to give. Whether she’s snuggled up beside you on the couch or toddling around with her favorite toys, Nancy’s happiest when she’s spending time with her people. Nancy is good with other dogs and would enjoy a home with a canine companion or regular doggy playdates. She has a playful side but also appreciates her downtime — the perfect balance of fun and snuggly. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion with a big heart and an even bigger personality, Nancy is ready to fill your home with joy and bulldog kisses!

Story
Mike is a 1.5-year-old full German Rottweiler / Czech Shepherd who needs a loving, experienced home. Due to serious health issues in our family, we are heartbroken to rehome him, this decision is purely about giving him the active life he deserves. I am unable to do so due to major spine injury. Mr Mike is neutered, up to date on shots, house trained (no accidents in over a year), and crate trained. ( comes with his crate, “room” Mike is fun, playful, and very affectionate. He has high energy and needs daily exercise, once he has had a good run around.. hes a big lovable floor potato. Will make an excellent guard dog. Hes very smart!! He knows sit, lay, paw, roll over, and touch. He is leash trained but very strong and needs an experienced handler. He may bark/pull toward other dogs but has never harmed anyone. Was doing great with trainer on pulling with gentle leader leash. He will be an amazing dog!! He’s loyal, protective, and will be an amazing companion in the right home.
