Big Dog Ranch Rescue is a not-for-profit organization that assists displaced dogs in finding new homes

The specific purpose of this organization is dedicated to: saving dogs from other breeders, free dogs, internet breeder dogs, dogs in danger of going to shelters, any dog in need prior to them being bred more by breeders creating puppy mills and huge numbers of UN-sterilized dogs. We are trying to save the dogs prior to them or their offspring being sold to breeders and when no longer needed placed into shelters. We drive wherever we need to in order to find them. We don't wait for dogs that need rescuing, all dogs sold to the public unaltered are at risk.. We are out everyday looking for them no matter how far. People surrender the dogs to 1LDR, but in most cases we must pay the dog's re-homing fees from private owners trying to re-home a dog. We are then able to insure that the dogs are sterilized, vaccinated and chipped so they are always accounted for. After they are clean and treated, we properly re-home the dogs into responsible loving families. No dogs, not even pure breed dogs are safe from shelters. Your pure breeds are the most in danger being sold to other breeders and people who dont know how to breed, who will buy brothers and sisters and breed them together. All dogs out there need help. It is also not just the “free to a good home” dogs that are in danger. Pure breeds at some of the most at risk because what they can provide. Our ultimate goal is to sterilize, vaccinate, chip and worm all dogs in hope of stopping dogs and puppies from going to shelters. If we only help dogs that are at the shelters, what are we doing to stop the problem? We must help the public more no matter what the costs until the laws change and there are harsher punishments for over breeding. We must help all dogs to be spayed and neutered. That is the the reason for everything we do.

Working towards the day when every pet has a loving home. Animal Rescue of the Rockies pulls homeless dogs and cats from overcrowded shelters and places them in loving foster homes until their forever homes are found. We promote spaying and neutering to reduce pet overpopulation and encourage quality relationships between pets and their people through behavior resources and training.

This is a list of dogs currently available for adoption at Family Dogs New Life Shelter.
We do keep this listing very current, so all dogs listed here regardless of the post date are still looking for homes. Because FDNLS is a no kill shelter all dogs who come into our care have a safe place to live until they are adopted, so some of our residents have been in our care for months or even years.

If you are able to provide a foster home for dogs until they are adopted, please for more information. Fostering is such a rewarding experience and is vital to our goal of placing rescued dogs into new permanent homes.We have been swamped with offers from people from all over the country to adopt these boys. We really appreciate the amazing show of love and appreciation for these special dogs! We ask that people be patient with Luvable as we are doing our best to respond to inquiries while also continuing to run our Rescue and provide for the everyday needs of all of our other dogs! At this time, Picasso needs dental surgery and we would like to get him through any required medical treatment and healthy before considering what type of home will be best for him and Pablo. They do need to be placed together.You know how they say there are plenty of fish in the sea? Well, stop swimming cuz you’ve found me! If you are a fun-loving, cuddle-needing, best-friend-longing dog-fancier then I am the perfect match for you. I love to romp and play with other dogs, and after a long day of fun I want nothing more than to climb up on the couch and snuggle with you or your respectful kiddos. I’ll admit, I’m like a fish out of water when it comes to cats, so a kitty-free sea is a must for me. I just finished up caring for a litter of little fishes, and I am oh-so ready for some me time! See, I am still a puppy at heart, so more training and guidance is in order. My crate training is going swimmingly, which is a great start to everything else you wanna teach me. You know what they say—a reel expert can tackle anything!
So go ahead, take the bait…hook, line, and sinker!
