Dorothy's Story

Dorothy the female Great Pyrenees puppy was born on 5/18/2025. She and her littermates have come to learn about the good life with Big Dogs Huge Paws Rescue. Now they are learning all about indoor living where there are soft cozy beds, plenty of toys, and people to show them love, teach them basic manners, and provide a structured environment where they can feel safe and learn to become gentle giants. As Dorothy's personality emerges, we will update her details. So, if you would like to travel the Yellow Brick Road with Dorothy in her Ruby Slippers skipping by your side, put in your adoption application today!! Giant Breed Experienced Homes Only. BDHP Puppy Policy All puppies less than 12 months of age are too young to be spayed/neutered so they are adopted out on special puppy spay/neuter agreements with a $50 refundable spay/neuter deposit. Adopting families must agree to get the puppy altered within 2 weeks of 12 months of age (or when their growth plates close) and send proof of S/N to BDHPI accordingly. Adopting families are expected to pay an adoption fee of $700 minimum for purebred puppies AND will have the additional costs listed above, so please keep this in mind. When adopting a puppy, new families need to be prepared for not only a substantial financial investment, but also a significant time commitment in order to raise your puppy properly. Crate training is a critical part of setting them up for success as well as potty training. You can't leave a puppy in the crate for longer than 4 hours max and they typically have to be let outside every hour when you are home since their bladder is not as big as an adult. You will want to make sure your puppy gets regular exercise and has plenty of mentally stimulating chew toys such as puzzle toys(food cubes, busy buddy toys, kongs, etc). Socialization the first 6 months is critical to their development socially and once they have had all of their shots, you will want to take your new puppy everywhere you can to get them used to meeting lots of new people, different dogs, and visiting places outside of the home. Obedience training is also extremely important (and actually part of our adoption agreement requirements) so that your puppy grows up to be a gentle giant instead of a giant monster! To see the most up to date adoption status of this dog please visit www.bigdogshugepaws.com This is just one of hundreds of gentle giants available for adoption at BDHPI! It is best not to get your heart set on any one particular dog upfront because there is no guarantee they will still be available once you are approved or that they are even the right match for your family. Purebred puppies are only eligible for adoption to giant breed experienced homes.

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
