Be a Lifeline for Dogs in Crisis This Giving Tuesday

Every day, dogs in our community are falling through the cracks—shelters are full, resources are stretched thin, and too often, there’s nowhere for them to turn. That’s where Big Paws steps in. We are the safety net for dogs with no other options, offering critical care, rehabilitation, and hope to the most vulnerable.

But this lifeline is only possible with your help. The need has never been greater. Each week, we’re forced to turn away at least 40 dogs because our resources are maxed out. These are dogs who need urgent medical care, a safe place to heal, or simply a second chance. Your support can change that.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re raising $20,000 to ensure we can continue being there when no one else can. Together, we can save lives and make sure no dog is left behind.

Your Impact in Action

Thanks to the generosity of our community, dogs who once faced heartbreaking odds now have futures filled with love and hope. Here are just a few of the lives transformed because of supporters like you:

Max, a sweet dog in unbearable pain from a compressed neck disk, received the surgery and therapy he desperately needed—and today, he’s adopted and thriving.
Wood and his siblings were rescued just in time from an overcrowded shelter. Scared and reactive, they thrived in our foster program and are now happy in their forever homes.
Robin and Roo, two tiny puppies suffering from severe mange, were in agony and living outdoors in a rural area with no resources. After months of medical care, they’re now healthy, thriving, and in loving adoptive homes.
