Big Paws Rescue

I am a rescue - foster for big breed dogs but i wont turn away a small dog if it needs my help. I take in the ones that are in the shelters and have run out of time and the ones that the shelter just dont have room for. I am on my own as of right . But saving as many as i can. Everyone needs a chance and these dogs need the chance more then anyone else.

Rescue FAQs

Foster Homes needed in your area.

We are a local non profit dog rescue in the Niagara area. We are looking for more foster homes to help care for our rescues. We take care of all our foster’s needs vetting, food and kennels. All we need you to do is love them and care for them till we can find them a forever home. We are an all breed rescue so we need foster homes for all sizes and ages. All you have to do is pick what kind of dogs you would like to foster and we do the rest. We pull dogs from shelters to stop them from being put down. We get them the vetting and care they need and teach them how to be apart of a family again. Think of your self as a second chance for an animal that with out you may not ever find a real home. Shelters are full of other dogs they are loud and scary. Adopters don’t always get to see the full potential of the dog. They are held back by fear and because of this they can spend a long time in a shelter, if they get adopted at all. The dogs are cared for but shelters have a lot of dogs and a lot to do. Each dog dose not get the amount of love and time they could get from a one on one foster home. Being a foster means you know the dogs like’s dislikes, what kind of home they would be good in and what they need most. We can’t do our job with out the love and caring that comes from people willing to help. From people willing to foster.

If you would like to help save the life of one our four legged friends and become a foster please call
