WHERE BIG DOGS FIND NEW BEGINNINGS
DOG TRAINING
WHO WE ARE
Big Paws is a foster-based dog rescue established in 2016 and located in Northwest Arkansas. We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs in our community.
In 2022 we launched our Academy, which provides high quality dog training to our community. All proceeds directly support our rescue efforts. You can read more about our story below.
TESTIMONIALS
As a first time dog owner, I wanted to be sure that I was the right human for the right dog, and Big Paws did too. They were careful to take everything into consideration. I got to meet my prospective pup very quickly and decided to take her home for a trial visit. They even sent me on my way with a small bag of food and a leash, as I was excited but ill-prepared! They checked in and followed up, and were willing to help answer any questions I had. The process was really easy and straightforward. Mabel and I are doing well and eager for the adventures that await us! Thanks Big Paws for helping me find my new buddy!

OUR GROWTH
Since our start in 2016, our little rescue for big dogs has continued to grow. From our founding up until 2021 we have helped rescue, rehome, and rehabilitate over 400 dogs in our area and had the pleasure of working with over 70 different foster homes. It is our joy and honor to help these dogs find their forever families. All 400 dogs and their families are forever a part of our Big Paws pack- and that right there makes our hearts smile.
In 2019 we began construction of our Big Paws Barn. We have used this barn to house dogs in emergency situations when foster homes aren't available. We have 8 kennels, a fenced in play yard, and grooming stations to use for dogs coming into our care.
We have some really exciting growth to share with our community- and some amazing plans for 2022. Keep an eye out for our big announcement (including a new facility!!!!).
