Big Dog Rescue Project

University Place, WA

Our Mission

Big Dog Rescue Project is a group of rescuers that pull dogs from high kill shelters in the DFW metro areas in Texas. We are a registered 501c3. We specialize in larger breeds and mixed breed dogs, and most dogs are pulled within hours of their scheduled euthanization. Dogs are then fully vetted and temperament tested to the best of our ability before being placed for adoption in New Jersey or the Pacific Northwest.. All adopters are pre-screened,  and references and a home visit are just a part of the process so that we can ensure that their next home is a furever home. Dogs are adopted as family members only, and we hope you can meet your next family addition here!  https://www.facebook.com/BigDogRescueProject

Adoption Policy

Thank you for wanting to adopt a rescued dog from Big Dog Rescue Project! Please submit an adoption application at bigdogrescueproject.org/adopt to begin the process of adding a new best friend to your family. Applications will be pre-screened and references checked. Most dogs are fostered in Texas until matches are made. Transport is scheduled and paid for by Big Dog Rescue Project to Washington, Oregon, and New Jersey. Let us help you find your next Big Dog! There are always new dogs coming to our attention, so please feel free to contact us if you do not see your perfect match here today. 



Because we do not have a kennel facility all dogs are either fostered, or spend time in a doggie daycare facility in Plano TX  interacting with our volunteers before making their way to Washington State. This enables us to learn as much possible about them before the
