Dog of the Month

Patches

Patches came to BDR with his 8 littermates and momma when he was only a week old. His 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. Patches has been with us ever since. 6 of his littermates and his mom have found homes. This sweet boy is beyond ready for a home of his own!

Patches is a smart, active boy. He is leash trained, crate trained, neutered, and up-to-date on vaccines. He easily takes his monthly heartworm preventative and rides great in cars.

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

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

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