Story
Mom Dory and Her 10 Puppies Hi everyone! My name is Dory, and I’m a very proud mama to 10 beautiful puppies. We came from a shelter in Baldwin County, Alabama, where time was sadly running out for all of us. County shelters try their best, but caring for a mom and her babies takes a lot of time, space, and resources that many shelters simply don’t have. We weren’t sure what was going to happen next, but thankfully Big Dog Ranch Rescue stepped in just in time and gave our little family a safe place to go. Because of them, we were able to relax, nurse, and grow the way a family should. My puppies have been surrounded by care, good food, and lots of love while they got bigger and stronger every day. Now the best part of our journey is here—it's time for all of us to find our forever homes! My puppies are ready to start their own adventures, and I’m ready for a loving home too. We are all so grateful for our second chance, and we can’t wait to meet the families who will love us for the rest of our lives. 🐾💕

Story
Name: Misty Kai Age: 4 years Breed: Lab/Shepherd mix Gender:Female Medical History: Up to date on vaccines but is due soon for her 2026 vaccines. Heartworm negative. Personality: She is great with other dogs & cats. Wouldn't recommend her to be homed with kids only because of her size. She is very sweet and protective of her human. She is housebroken and kennel-trained. Extremely food motivated. She has no history of biting or aggression. No other medical or behavioral issues. I can't handle her any longer due to my advanced age and increasing fragility. I am already disabled and she was supposed to replace my service dog that passed away but she was not trained as the owner told me she was. My finances and disability prevent me from providing or caring for her the way she deserves. I can't even bathe her. She is a good girl whom I love and adore. She is just too much for me to handle in my advancing years. She has caused me to fall several times because I can no longer manage her. (O
