Dog of the Month

Ares

Ares is a natural leader.

He and his sister, Chocolate, have been with us the longest. They came to us in May of 2023.
Ares is confident, athletic, and very smart.

Ares is eager to please and loves to interact with his humans. He is a quick-learner who loves to play! He would be the perfect candidate for a fun agility course. Ares doesn't mind getting dirty so he is the perfect companion to go on hikes with.

He knows how to sit, is great on a leash, and is great on outings.
Ares is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and great at taking his monthly heartworm preventative.

Ares would likely do best in an active household.

If you are ready to add a companion to your daily adventures, please submit a brief adoption form and we will work out a time for you to meet him!

Our Story

Big Dog Rescue was founded to serve homeless pets in Central Texas. We are a small, family-operated rescue. We started with the goal of giving pets a place to rest, recover, and find an owner to give them a good life. We encourage responsible pet ownership, and believe it should be accessible to all who want to be good pet owners. Adopting from Big Dog Rescue means adding a vaccinated, healthy, spayed or neutered dog that will make a great addition to your family!
