The Big Mutt Network
Based in Arizona and operating nationwide, Our mission is to rescue and rehabilitate abandoned, neglected and abused dogs, providing them with the love, care, and medical attention they need while working tirelessly to find them forever homes. We strive to be a voice for the voiceless and to educate the community on the importance of responsible pet ownership. We are committed to reducing the number of dogs in shelters by promoting adoption, spaying, and neutering, and by providing ongoing support to our adopters. We are a dedicated group of animal lovers who believe that every dog deserves a second chance at a happy life.
Looking to adopt? We always have dogs for adoption and work to provide ongoing education regarding responsible dog ownership and care. Our adoptable mutts live in foster homes, not a shelter. We work to match every adoptable mutt with the best home possible, based first and foremost on the muttsβ needs.
The Big Mutt Network is a registered non-profit dog rescue with the state of Arizona and a 501(c)3 charity. Donations are tax-deductible and always appreciated. Feel free to look through our website and if you don’t find the answers you need here, please contact us.

The Big Mutt Network is a registered 501(C)3 non-profit organization relying on sponsorships and donations to save lives.

Be a Big Mutt Champion
We are always looking for fosters to help us make our vision a reality. Our dogs need a safe and loving place to stay in order to recover and prepare for their forever home. We are with you every step of the way to help the dog acclimate and decompress.

πΎ Meet Barry - πΎ
Barry is a delightful six-month-old lab mix who is eagerly awaiting his forever home. This handsome boy has been neutered, vaccinated, and has received a resounding endorsement as being both dog and cat friendly. Not to mention, he has also been given the "kid approved" seal of approval, making him the perfect addition to a loving family.
I"Why do you look so sad, Barry?" - well, the answer is simple. Barry's litter mates found their forever families months ago, and it's high time for this sweet boy to find his own loving home. He is ready to share his abundant love and affection with a family who will cherish him for a lifetime.
Barry is brimming with love and is eager to shower his new family with endless joy and devotion. Could you be the one to turn Barry's frown upside down and provide him with the loving home he so rightfully deserves?
If you're ready to open your heart and home to Barry, please reach out to us to arrange a meet-and-greet. Let's work together to give Barry the happy ending he's been waiting for! πΎβ€οΈ

Neonate Update: Our three angel pups are showing promising progress. The smallest one, on the right, initially weighed less than a pound. We will be conducting another weight check before their feeding to monitor their development. Encouragingly, they are displaying improved signs. There has been a reduction in diarrhea, and they are becoming more vocal and eager for feedings. We are grateful for the positive strides they are making and will continue to provide them with the utmost care and attention. ... See MoreSee Less

Sweet babies!!! ππ₯°
Prayers to them! And a huge THANK YOU to their foster
We are absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude and wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks for your incredible generosity. Thanks to each and every one of you, we have successfully received enough donations to cover the majority of the bill, leaving us with just $200 remaining. However, in an unexpected turn of kindness, the boarding facility Spa for Paws El Paso has graciously decided to forgive the remaining balance.
Your support and compassion have truly made a world of difference for us and the ones we care for. We are deeply moved by the outpouring of love and support that has come our way. Your contributions have helped alleviate a significant burden, and we are filled with immense appreciation for your selflessness.
Words cannot adequately convey the depth of our gratitude, but please know that your kindness has touched our hearts in ways we cannot fully express. Your willingness to extend a helping hand during our time of need is a testament to the incredible community we are a part of, and we are forever thankful for each and every one of you.
A special thanks to our transporter and to the foster for saying yes
With sincerest thanks and warmest regards,
Stephanie ... See MoreSee Less

She's looking for someone who's perfect for her. She loves woman and children. She's extremely cautious of men but will warm up with a lot of patience and a lot of treats π she would do best in a home away from the city, a large yard and someone who wants a dog that hangs at home with them. She is true to her breed and can be protective, she's affectionate and playful!

Looks like a Border Collie/Great Pyrenees mix. Beautiful girl!
Wow great guard dogs!! Wouldn't feel safe without mine. Not house dogs but they will come inside and eat and visit for a couple of houses for love and let their food settle. Owned them for many years!! Will continue to do so!!
What a smile
Adorable

The Wisdom DNA has him: 26% Great Pyrenees 25% Poodle (Medium and Standard)...the only thing "poodle-ish" is the curly by his ears LOL 18% Australian Shepherd 7% American Pit Bull Terrier 6% Miniature American Shepherd
