Story
JJ, AKA;Jack; he is 8 years old Is a very smart dog, trained to sit , lay, follow commands, He is on schedule and aware of schedule - he understands human words Loves attention, loves to have companion, loves walks. He was bottle-fed as baby had lots of love and attention. I was his only owner, He is getting up there in age and showing signs of it. He will still fetch ball and has spurts of energy, but not all the time. JJ recently has been experiencing some behavioral issues out of the blue, he forgets who we are when startled, he doesn’t know who we are until he visually sees us He gets aggressive at times, then snaps out of it. JJ needs a companion and a home without children, he may be ok with other dogs , he has been with our 2 others just fine and visits with family dogs. Fenced in yard, if not supervised He needs someone to pay attention, respond to his special needs at this point. He is being rehomed because of his changes in behavior that I cannot manage.

Story
🎶 Patsy – The Heart of the Honky-Tonk 💕Straight from the Lone Star State, meet Patsy — a 3-month-old, 20-lb hound/lab mix who’s got the soul of a country song and the heart of a best friend. 💛While her sister Loretta might be the loud one on stage, Patsy’s the harmony — gentle, loving, and quietly steals the show with her big brown eyes and even bigger heart. She’s a natural entertainer who’s still building her confidence, but give her a few days and she’ll have you laughing, cuddling, and wondering how you ever lived without her.Patsy’s learning her basics fast — she’s already this close to mastering “sit,” walks great on a leash, and is doing well with crate training. She adores her foster brothers, loves exploring the great outdoors, and is always down for an adventure (especially if snacks are involved). 🐾She doesn’t need to be the center of attention — she’s just happy to be part of your story. Whether she’s snuggled next to you on the couch or trotting beside you on a walk, Patsy’s the kind of dog that makes every day feel like a Sunday drive with your favorite song on the radio. 🎵📍 Currently fostering in Salem, WI💵 Adoption Fee: $500 + $150 spay depositSo if you’re looking for a little country charm, a whole lot of love, and a best friend who’ll always hit the right note — come meet Patsy, the Heart of the Honky-Tonk. 🤠💞👉 Apply to adopt at www.biggiepawsrescue.org#BiggiePawsRescue 💚🐾 #AdoptPatsy #RescueDog #AdoptDontShop #TexasSweetheart #CountrySoul #HonkyTonkHeart #PuppyLoveDATCP # 494550

Story
Have you ever tried peanut butter with a bagel? 🥯 It really is a delicious breakfast treat! Peanut Butter and Bagel join us for the most important meal of the day all the way from Texas. They’re being fostered in central 📍 Wisconsin, right where many of the best breakfast foods are grown! 🥛 Bagel and Peanut Butter do not have to go together (but they sure are a wonderful pairing). Peanut Butter 🥜 is a tasty snack all on his own! He’s playful, friendly and outgoing. He loves belly rubs… but I don’t know who doesn’t after a good meal! 🍳 Bagel is a little more cautious and would prefer a companion to make him more comfortable. Nobody likes a plain Bagel anyway! 😜 While he is a little more shy, Bagel warms up quickly (even without a toaster) and will enjoy his own belly rubs before you know it. 💙Both boys are 5 months old and are believed to be hound mixes. They have been neutered ✂️ and are UTD on the age-appropriate vaccinations. 💉 While Peanut Butter is a little bigger, at 37 pounds, than Bagel, who’s 33 pounds, they should both be medium-sized once full grown. Their adoption fees are $500 each. For such young pups, Peanut Butter and Bagel are both pretty chill. They love getting their puppy energy out first thing in the morning ☀️ with a good run or play session… and then they will go straight to the couch for some cuddles. A leash is something they’ve gotten used to and are very gentle when walking. They’re nearly housebroken 🚽 and just need someone to follow a consistent routine to maintain their excellent bathroom ratings! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Bagel and Peanut Butter are kid friendly and love other dogs too. They do well around cats 🐈 and have even met some chickens. Peanut Butter will chase chickens though. He must realize that they contain eggs. 🥚 Both pups are otherwise well-mannered and listen to commands like, “sit” and “kennel.” If you’d like to invite a friend or two to your breakfast table, you can apply to adopt Peanut Butter and/or Bagel at biggiepawsrescue.org DATCP #494550DATCP # 494550

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

⚡ 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
