My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Hero, a resilient young Shepherd mix who is on the road to recovery after undergoing FHO (femoral head ostectomy) surgery on one of his legs. Despite the challenge, his spirit remains unbreakable! While his other leg is also injured, we’re hopeful he will maintain mobility, though amputation is a possibility. Big Paws will cover and arrange this.

Hero is a sweetheart who gets along great with other dogs and cats! He would thrive in a home with older children who are respectful and understand the need for gentle play while he heals. This brave pup is full of love and ready to find a family who will support him through his recovery and beyond. Could that be you? Apply today to meet Hero and give him the loving home he deserves!Big Paws of the Ozarks is a foster-based dog rescue in Northwest Arkansas. We require an approved adoption application on file before scheduling meets with our dogs. You can find the application here (www.bigpawsozarks.org/adoption-application). Please email info@bigpawsoftheozarks.org if you have specific questions about an available dog.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process is thorough in order to ensure dogs go to the best possible home.

We often get multiple applications for each dog, and choose applicants based off the best possible fit for each dog.

More about this rescue

Big Paws of the Ozarks is a foster-based dog rescue in Northwest Arkansas. We aim to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs in our local community. We specialize in large breed dogs (over 40 pounds) but do get the occasional small paw in rescue too! We work closely with shelters and other rescues in our community to target and save dogs who are at risk of euthanasia or have found themselves falling between the cracks of our animal rescue community.
