Dog of the Month

Chocolate

Chocolate came to BDR with her 8 littermates and momma when she was only a week old. Her owner lost the ability to take care of her pets, so a neighbor of the owner was taking care of the animals. However, there were too many animals and the neighbor needed help. Chocolate has been with us ever since. 7 of her littermates and her mom have found homes. This sweet girl is beyond ready for a home of her own!

Chocolate is a very smart, confident girl. She is a natural leader, leash trained, crate trained, spayed, and up-to-date on vaccines. She also easily takes her monthly heartworm preventative.

Chocolate is over 1 year old, a mixed-breed pup, and she weighs 52 lbs.

For additional information, please visit her page under Adoptable Pets.

If you would like to meet this sweet girl, please fill out an adoption form. We will reach out within 24 hours to schedule a time to meet her.

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!
