My apologies to our followers of this blog. The Administrator (me!) had a baby and moved and this blog has been neglected.
That said, I am back with a bang and have some very exciting news!
Big Dogs Huge Paws has found homes for 2,000 RESCUED DOGS!
We are so happy for the lives saved and so thankful for our Volunteers who made it possible!

Meet Krissy
We all love Krissy and hope giving her some extra plugs on this blog and our FB pages might drive some extra interest.
See, Krissy isn't a purebred Mastiff and she's a little on the elderly side. These two characteristics can sometimes make people keep scrolling as they come across her profile on our website. We don't think that's very fair and want to do our part to let you know what a great dog she is.
She was left at a shelter and was horribly depressed. BDHPI agreed to take this old lady and she has been doing wonderful in her foster home. While she is very loved, we all agree Krissy deserves a home of her own!
She is great with kids, cats and dogs! She has great house manners and is about as laid back as they come!

We love her, but she needs a home! Meet Daisy
Daisy is a very sad story that breaks all of our hearts. She is a darling 10 year old Harlequin but is absolutely terrified of the world. She certainly enjoys the companionship of other animals and is very comfortable with them but she needs some time to warm up to us humans.
We are not sure what happened in her life but she is going to need a very special human for the years she has left. When Daisy comes to a new place she is very timid, she will hug the walls and stand near the corner. She simply retreats- She is NEVER aggressive.
Daisy is the perfect houseguest. She doesn't chew, rarely barks, is house trained and really her only requirement is patience and a warm bed.
February will mark 1 year since she has been in rescue. She is welcome to stay for as long as she needs but we would all love to find this sweet girl her special home.
We are encouraging a home with no small kids due to her love of peace and quiet :)

BDHPI Loss, Remembering Cara David
It is with great sadness and shock that we write to inform you that one of our fellow Volunteers, Cara Davis, passed away on Thursday morning. Cara was traveling back to Colorado from Louisiana after celebrating the Holidays with her family when she was involved in a head on collision in Texas. Cara lost her life as well as the lives of her 2 beloved dogs.
As some of you may know, Cara was a foster for BDHPI and has been fostering Paul-O. We have been told that Cara’s parents are very worried about Paul-O and that Cara loved him very much and was proud of the dog he is. Paul-O was not with Cara at the time of the accident and has been staying with Jennifer & Fritz Piatt. The Piatt Family has graciously agreed to become Paul-O’s new foster family until his forever family is found.
A memorial fund has been set up for Cara. BDHPI will be making a donation in her honor and if you are so inclined to do so personally, here is the link: www.caradavismemorialfund.com
100% of the proceeds of this fund will be applied in the following ways: the cremation of her dogs, relocation of her cats to her parents home, bringing Cara back to Lousiana and funeral costs.
Cara was a very young 29 year old woman with a full life ahead of her and we ask that you keep her family in your thoughts and prayers.

Lil Bit- Why we do what we do...
BDHPI was contacted by the family of a lovely woman who was sadly battling cancer. Her time on this earth was drawing to an end but she was leaving behind her beloved Mastiffs. BDHPI gladly offered to help and welcomed Buddy & Lil Bit into rescue. Two days after bringing them into rescue, their Mama passed away. We are so thankful she left knowing her babies were being taken care.
Once in rescue, we began to observe that Lil Bit didn't feel as good as she should. Her Foster Mom immediately made an appt at the vet and we were all so sad to learn that Lil Bit too had Cancer. The vet felt she was really struggling, in a lot of pain and suffering in a way this sweet old lady didn't deserve. With the advice of the Vet, the Officers at BDHPI made the painful (but right) decision to peacefully end her pain.
Lil Bit left us, but joined her Mama on Tuesday afternoon. We all find peace that they are together again.
Buddy, her brother, is THRIVING in rescue. He has a lab in his foster home and they are playing together like little wild animals. His Foster Mom says she lives in fear everyday that they are going to take down her Christmas tree :)
We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of both Lil Bit and Buddy's lives.
