Big Heads Bigger Hearts

Animal rescue in Tucson, AZ

Our main focus is rescuing and rehabilitating dogs and cats with behavioral challenges. We work close with a group of well trained foster homes and trainers in our area to ensure these dogs are given the best chance at finding their perfect family. We take great pride in matching our animals with families who are their match. To ensure this happens, we have a fairly extensive adoption process. There is no such thing as a bad dog... Basically meaning we thrive to take all our rescue animals training needs very seriously and believe all animals deserve a chance to overcome their challenges with proper training. All our animals only become available for adoption when they have exceeded all their basic obedience skills and we have perfected the animals pet profile to match with possible adopters applications.

Rescue FAQs

We mainly focus on at risk dogs from county shelters from Tucson, Az, Maricopa County, AZ, Phoenix, AZ and occasionally Orange County, CA.

Additional adoption info

Our fees vary on the age, breed and length of time the dog or cat has resided in rescue. Please contact us directly for adoption fees.

Interested adopters will need to fill out a adoption application. Depending on the responses to the application, we will proceed with a meet and greet. All of our dogs and cats require a meet and greet with all animals and people in the home, followed by a home inspection. If both the home inspection and meet and greet goes well, the animal will begin a 7 day trial. if after the 7 day trial, the adopter wishes to proceed, a contract will be signed and microchip and license if applicable will be transferred.
