Athena's Story

Athena the 2 year old black Great Dane female was found chained in a backyard when family members went to do a welfare check on Athena's owner. It is unknown how long she was without food and water due to the owner being ill and hospitalized. Furthermore, she was pregnant and very malnourished when she was scooped up by Big Dogs Huge Paws Rescue and whisked off to a foster home experienced with caring for whelping mothers and providing care for the puppy mama while she is nursing and caring for her puppies. Athena has shared the things she has learned so far in life like what to do when you say come, stop, let’s eat, leave it and lay down. She is in a bustling foster home and knows where her food station and crate are. She will cuddle on the couch if you invite her up and she takes her snacks gently if you remind her. Athena does well in the crate and has not had any potty accidents in the house or crate. Her foster mom says that Athena is very sweet and loves people and other dogs as long as they don’t get in her face. As Athena's true personality emerges, we will update her information. She gave birth to 10 puppies on May 25th and is holding down the fort as chief cook and bottle washer for a litter of puppies now, but she would love to hang up her apron and come to live with you and have a couch to lay on, people to pet her and plenty of food and water in a few months. We think that is a pretty small request for a young lady who has been through a lot in her young life. Please submit your adoption application today.<br/><br/>Giant Breed Experienced Homes Only.

Big Dogs Huge Paws, inc's Adoption Policy
Many of the gentle giants that come into our rescue have been neglected or abused. Others have simply been abandoned by their owners due to a divorce, a new baby, moving, or natural disaster. We are often told that they got “too big” or “too expensive” and many of the dogs below come to us with very little training. Despite their past, rescue dogs are incredibly forgiving and very eager to please. They have so much to give and are all very special. We are looking for forever homes and permanent families who will love their new addition unconditionally and give them the love and support they need and deserve for the rest of their lives. Adoption Requirements and Guidelines a. Applicants must have never been convicted of any animal abuse laws. b. All potential adopters must completely fill out and sign the adoption application and the information must be verified and approved by a BDHPI representative. c. All appli
