Best rescue I have ever worked with. Honest, caring & truly in it for the welfare of the dogs. I have never seen a group of people work together, so hard to save so many lives! Keep it up biggie!!

Biggie paws is a wonderful organization. We have adopted 3 dogs through them now and each time it's been a great experience. Here are our current 2 enjoying being spoiled in their forever home.

Adopted my pup about 7 months ago. These guys deserve a ton of credit for saving these little guys. I could tell from everyone I dealt with that their passion is the care and safety of these dogs. They were very thorough in screening process- which is to be expected.That said it didn’t take long to get thought that and bring home my newest member to the family. I love this dog and if my experience is any sign of the 100’s of other stays that find their way into the arms of Biggie Paws Rescue they are doing lost dogs a unmeasurable service by finding them great homes!

We had the opportunity to inquire about some dogs that were available for adoption. Even though we did not adopt from Biggie Paws, I can not say enough about the foster families. They were so professional and very caring. We asked many questions, and they were completely honest and straightforward. I highly recommend Biggie Paws.

Biggie Paws Rescue helped us adopt our sweet little Nellie. She is the sweetest little thing and we can't be happier! Thank you Biggie Paws Rescue for matching us with the perfect dog for us!

Biggie paws and their affiliate Elena botched a dogs rescue for over 6 weeks and bullied the original adopters into giving up their dog! Most unprofessional people I've ever encountered! Do not trust these horrible people!

I foster dogs in Texas who are at extreme risk of euthanasia. Wonderful Rescue Groups like Biggie Paws take these unknown dogs on and find them wonderful homes to enjoy a life without the cruelty they experienced in Texas.I thank God for great groups like Biggie Paws and their dedicated volunteers.PS: Anyone posting a false bad review and who has had no experience with this Rescue Group is really harming the dogs, not the Rescue. Think about that!

My wife and I have worked with several rescues over the years and this group shares our heart's desire to save em all!We used to foster dogs that would tear up our house, cause stress among our other dogs and livestock, we'd go out of our own pockets to provide for dog food, bedding, toys, VET BILLS, the list goes on.Biggie Paws covers any cost of the dogs, they come fully vetted, they talk you through any situation with a new fur baby that you haven't encountered before to help you and the precious dog in your home. Very knowledgeable, and caring. We have fostered over 40 dogs from them now and never had a bad dog. Thank y'all! Keep up God's work.😉👍

Biggie Paws focuses on the needs of the puppies/dogs they foster and adopt out. Families are screened to make sure they take care of their pets. Puppies have a health check first and go to their fosters with any needed medication. Fostering first helps the dogs learn about love and safety. Biggie Paws does a wonderful job making sure adoptions are a good, forever fit for the families and the dogs.

Biggie Paws is a wonderful rescue that focuses on actual dogs in need vs designer dogs that everyone "wants". They are kept in foster homes to help give them the best start to a new life as possible. Lots of blood, sweat, and tears go into each and every pup.

We got the best little dog from Biggie Paws named June. Our son is autistic and they were very nice and understanding with his needs throughout the process. I felt they did a very nice job explaining the personality of each dog as we were initially interested in one that probably would have been a good fit with our son. They listened and helped us find the right one. We have gotten a couple dogs from rescues in the past and working with Biggie Paws was the best experience. I would highly recommend them. There passion for the animals is evident.

I am a volunteer for Biggie Paws Rescue and have been from day 1. I am proud to be a part of this organization who continually strives to focus on what really matters...the pups that we save! We rely on our generous volunteers, fosters, former adopters, donors and our transporters. Let's not forget our transporters, who drive the long, smelly and sometimes gruesome trek (with unforseen things that can occur with these ABANDONED pups!) Thank you, Biggie Paws Rescue (and all involved) for letting me be a part of all of our successes, and for giving me the opportunities to make a difference! Let's never forget the real reason we are here! 💗💙🐕🐕

Highly recommend Biggie Paws rescue!! They are in this for the right reasons, are organized, transparent, and thorough. The fosters work closely with the dogs and potential adopters to find the homes best fit for both human and fur baby!

We adopted the best dog in the world from Biggiepaws. Our Bruce was loved and cared for by his foster Mom, Michelle and her daughter. They did an amazing job acclimating him to get him ready for his forever home. They made sure he was going to be loved and properly cared for before they would let him go. Because we were far they did a virtual home inspection and even offered to meet us half way causing his foster Mom to drive a total of 4.5 hours. Michelle really loves her fosters and will do anything for them. If you want to adopt a dog I wouldn't hesitate to adopt from Biggiepaws.

Biggie Paws Rescue was such a great experience for me. The process of adopting was smooth and the people were so kind. All records were included and you could tell they love dogs. Thank you for making this process easy and the transition great for our dog!

ALL of the volunteers are hard working, and are more than wonderful!! I'm hoping their fundraiser was a success! They helped me successfully hit my goal of sitting on the ground, and playing with puppies all day! I know several people that have adopted from this dog rescue, and each and everyone of them are very happy with their choice of new family member and their choice to adopt from Biggy Paws!! A great big hug and thank you to them!

I got my puppy (Buddy) back in November of 2020. All of my dealings were with Kelly. She was great! She was very professional and you can tell she truly cares about the animals. Buddy came all the way from Texas. They checked my vet records which is good because they want to make sure they are going to be taken care of when they leave them. Since Buddy wasn't old enough at the time I got him to be fixed , Kelly kept in contact with me the whole time as we were waiting for him to be 8-9 months old to have the procedure done. When the time came she set it all up and it was already paid for in the price I paid for him. It all went very smoothly. I have nothing but positive things to say about Biggie Paws!! They are great and I would recommend them 100% to anyone looking to rescue a pet!

They have saved so many lives, and put a lot of love, time, and money into every dog. They are more than willing to assist new adopters, and have been nothing but transparent. As a small rescue, fully operated by volunteers, they are nothing short of amazing to every dog that comes to them.

Biggie Paws was great to work with! We started looking for a puppy to rescue in Feb 2021. I saw a rescue of a Mom and 6 pups almost instantly and reached out to the director, Jill, who helped me complete the application, screening and approved us! I was fortunate to watch Ollie grow with his brothers and sisters through the Biggie Paws FB page, and the foster, Kelly sent me pics and videos often. It was such an easy adoption. When I went to get Ollie I felt like I was being welcomed like family. I have since kept in touch with his brothers and sisters families through a FB page, and it has been such a pleasure to watch them all grow. Thank you Biggie Paws for giving me such a wonderful gift!

Wonderful rescue that helps to save animal lives on a regular basis.I'm seeing a slew of 1 star reviews over the last 24 hours, most within an hours time. They are obviously stemmed from a former associate who is being nasty and has asked friends to spam bad reviews, as most of them stem back to this same person.Anyone who is looking adopt, I do hope that common sense is used to evaluate the validity of these reviews, based on the timing.So sad that people would try to damage a group of volunteers who work their butts off daily out of the goodness of their hearts.This is a 501c3 corporation, which means there is no "owner" and no one gets paid or profits from the work they do ❤️❤️ Love you Biggie Paws ❤️

I did a foster to adopt of our girl Mya about 2 years ago. It was during Covid, so home visits were modifed to a video call. Most of the dogs are coming from a severely over-populated area in Texas where the shelters are forced to do a high percentage of euthanasia. The rescue in TX that pulled Mya didn't forward much info on her even though she was in foster for 30 days. I don't know if I would say this dog was broken, more like an orphan that had never experienced love or being a child. This dog had no idea how to be a dog. I'm experienced with lots of breeds of dogs having a lifetime of dogs, and volunteering at a humane society for 10 years. This dog stumped me (initially). Biggie's communication was decent but not exceptional, the process was fairly smooth. My biggest disappointment was that when I poked them to get more information about Mya's experience/routines in her TX foster, they said "well maybe this isn't the right dog for you". What????? I continued to stay committed to her, be pushy with Biggie to get more information, and when I got it adjusted my approach and expectations. That interaction reminded me of another "rescue" where they are sooo willing to take the dog back because they can change 2x as most don't give refunds when a dog doesn't work out. If I turned her in, I am confident that Mya would have been bounced around to many potential adopters before finding someone with the patience we had for her training and development. She is the most mellow of dogs I've ever seen (almost for a fault for a 2.5 yr dog), still highly unmotivated, (except for squirrels). Not overly treat motivated, and only 1 toy motivates her -- sometimes. But she is loved and a wonderful calm watch dog.

My fiancé and I recently rescued a dog who was being fostered by a wonderful lady named Gina and her fiancé. Not only did she keep in contact with me everyday with the dog that we were planning on rescuing she was extremely honest (even if he pooped inside the house) she never left out a detail! Giving me all the information about the dog made me feel more comfortable and knew exactly what we were rescuing. I felt extremely comfortable talking or texting her anytime of the day. She took good care of him and even sent us home with anything he needed to feel at home. Even after rescuing him she still kept in contact to make sure he was adjusting and doing okay. We feel very blessed to have be able to work with Gina and for her consistent love for what she does! Thank you again, you are amazing! Defiantly recommend.

Our family searched and contacted several rescue organizations before adopting from Biggie Paws. The process went exactly how they explained, they kept us in the loop with anything date changes and health concerns about the pet, etc... I absolutely recommend adopting from this organization!

If I could give them a -50 I would. I am appalled at the way they treated me when I was trying to adopt a puppy. Not only was I lied to they them blocked me telling me I was bad mouthing them and a bunch of other rescues and that is why I can’t get a dog, no one will adopt a dog to us. I’m taking it she was bad mouthing me to other rescues? Had to tell since I now know they lie. We were able to adopt a beautiful 7 year old dog from a shelter that does look at you applications. I would never suggest this place to anyone. This is not how a business should run. Everyone deserves a chance to adopt!!!

I spoke with Kelly G. the most. She was very nice and super sweet. She always responded very quickly and always sent pictures. I ended up adopting Mochi a Maltipoo puppy. We are so happy with him and he has fit into our family nicely. Thank you for everything you guys do!

Terrible response time from here. I get it’s a volunteer job but still the humane society and other shelters got back to me faster than this place. And a lot of them are volunteers as well.I called multiple times just to go straight to the voicemail. Turns out at the end I didn’t even get the dog I wanted and had to find out by looking at the website.

This rescue has been operating for a long time. I lost one of my dogs last September. I've just been checking all rescues to get an idea of availability. I'm not in a big rush and still looking!

Love working with this rescue! They are very good at what they do and make sure no dog goes into a home that isn’t the perfect fit!
