Big Fluffy Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping giant breed mixed breed dogs in need. Big Fluffy Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping giant breed mixed breed dogs in need. We value dogs of all breeds, but we specialize in what the name says: big, fluffy dogs. We have volunteers all across the eastern half of the United States who work to help homeless big fluffy dogs find a home to call their own. Big Fluffy Dog Rescue works to save Great Pyrenees, Saint Bernards, Newfoundlands and their mixes from euthanasia. We also have a fair assortment of honorary fluffies who don’t fall into the traditional fluffy mold but are with us anyway and we love their tiny/non-fluffy selves as much as the others. Our dogs come in to rescue for many different reasons. Many were abandoned at high kill shelters. Some were turned in by owners who could not properly care for them and still others are failed livestock guardian dogs. Regardless of their origins, our goal for every dog we have is the same: a safe, happy home where each dog is a well-loved member of the family. Big Fluffy Dog Rescue has its headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee.
Adoption requires an application with reference checks. We do home visits when a background check is not enough. We place dogs over a large area of the United States, excluding western states, but including the midwest, the mid-Atlantic, the Southeast, the Northeast, the Plains states including Texas, northern states like Wisconsin and Minnesota, and the Rocky Mountain regions. For the most part, our dogs are strictly indoor companions. We almost never do livestock guardian dog placements as most of our dogs would be particularly bad livestock guardians or have already failed at it. In simple terms, our dogs would probably think chickens are tasty and we have had many serial chicken killers in our ranks.
