These 2 came from the National Forest north of Houston apart of a pack of 24! Bryn was severely injured when he was a tiny puppy, so he was pulled in December 2025. Reba was the last one pulled from the forest in March 2026, she was the most shy/nervous/least trusting of the pack. When we reintroduced them it was a beautiful sight! They knew eachother but looked confused and happy to be seeing each other. Bryn is a little spit fire and he was able to show Reba that she can trust us. She opened up extremely fast because she had Bryn. We believe Reba is Bryn’s older sister from a litter before him.

One month. ❤️

When Ms. Hildy first came to me, her body was screaming for help. Severe skin infections, painfully infected ears, irritated folds, hair loss, inflammation… and you could tell she just felt miserable.

The last 30 days have been filled with:
• the RIGHT nutrition
• countless pills and medications
• medicated baths
• blow drying that thick coat after every treatment
• ear cleanings
• skin wipe downs
• monitoring every little change
• patience, consistency, and a whole lot of love

And LOOK at her now. 🥹

Her skin is healing.
Her ears look SO much better.
Her coat is coming back in.
The inflammation is going down.
And most importantly… she’s starting to feel comfortable in her own body again!

This is what rescue really looks like behind the scenes. Daily care. Exhaustion. Trial and error. Time. Money. Consistency. Showing up every single day even when progress feels slow.

Hildy still has healing left to do, but this girl has come SO far in just one month and I am incredibly proud of her. 🖤

These transformations are only possible because you continue to support dogs like Hildy through donations, sharing posts, fostering, adopting, and believing in second chances.

We cannot thank you all enough for the continued support!

A Pantry Full of Gratitude

Our pantry is stocked, our tails are wagging,
and the dogs are celebrating like they just won the Texas Lottery.
Your generosity didn’t just fill shelves

it gave us breathing room, wiggle room,
and more time for the cuddles, training,
and daily “please don’t eat that” conversations.

Thank you for lifting a huge weight off my plate
so I can give these sweet souls the attention they deserve.
Your kindness keeps us moving forward,
one goofy, lovable dog at a time.

Signed with snorts, wiggles, and questionable manners,
Finley, Raider, Efsane, Indy, Winston, Timmy, Hildie, Bryn, Reba, Banu & the rest of the gang!

We are FOREVER GRATEFUL!!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

My morning with the bigger 7 dogs! Banu, Raider, Indy, Efsane, Finley, Winston & Timmy! Just starting to integrate Banu back into the pack since she has recovered from her spay surgery. All the dogs are nervous again 🖤 she is BIG and PLAYFUL!

National Rescue Dog Day is such an important reminder of why rescue matters so deeply. Every dog deserves safety, love, and a family to call their own — and at Big Paws K9 Foster House , these sweet pups are getting their second chance after already overcoming so much in their short little lives. 💙🐾

We are hoping these darling rescue kiddos won’t have to wait too long to find forever homes filled with love, patience, and belly rubs. If you aren’t able to adopt right now, 💙🤗 fostering can truly save a life and open your heart in the most beautiful way. Please reach out and help one of these precious souls start their happy new chapter. 🩵

This morning I was out cleaning kennels, filling water buckets, handing out breakfast, and looking around thinking… we are running LOW.

Low on dog food.
Low on treats.
Low on cleaning supplies.
Low on space.
Getting low on funds.
And honestly… just stretched very thin.

Right now, there are 20 LARGE breed dogs depending on us every single day. That means mountains of food, endless laundry, constant cleaning, rising electric bills from this brutal heat and humidity, vet care, medications, preventatives, and daily care that never stops.

We are currently **CLOSED** for intake.
Even if a foster is offered.
We are **OVER CAPACITY**

And while we will always continue caring for the dogs already here, we need HELP moving dogs OUT through fostering and adoption so we can breathe again and continue helping responsibly.

If you’ve ever thought about fostering… we need you.
If you’ve ever considered adopting… now is the time.
If you’re unable to foster or adopt but still want to help, our Amazon Wishlist is one of the biggest ways to directly support the dogs right now.

Every bag of food, every bottle of cleaner, every box of treats truly matters more than you know.

I’ll be posting both our Amazon Wishlist and Givebutter monthly donor link in the comments. Monthly donors help us survive the “everyday” expenses that never stop coming.

Thank you to every single person who continues to stand behind these dogs and this mission. We truly could not do this alone. 🖤

****Please let me know what you order from the wishlist so I can remove the item once we reach enough and I can make sure it arrives. They do not always have names on them.

Ruby has been waiting months for her forever home !!! 🤨 We have no idea why!!! This silly, playful sweetheart was found by AC during the winter time and we just had to step in and bring her into rescue. Ruby is quite the character and has charmed everyone shes met. 🍓❤️ She is happy, playful and lovely with other dogs, kiddos and people. Ruby would LOVE to finally find her forever home, with a fenced backyard to keep her safe. Did we mention we have volunteer transport up to 1000 miles ! 😉 Please share and let’s get this adorable girl adopted. Also, thanks so much to Beth with Pawsitively in Focus in Cypress TX for the darling photoshoot. 🙏🏼🍓 https://bigpawsk9fosterhouse.rescuegroups.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=22133777

Some dogs don’t walk into a new home and instantly know how to trust.
Harrison… now Hades… was one of those dogs that made everyone wonder if he would ever truly settle in.

But his family never gave up on him. They gave him time. Patience. Structure. Understanding. They loved him through the uncertainty instead of expecting perfection overnight.

And now?
This video says everything. ❤️

Watching his momma scoop up this giant Anatolian/Great Pyrenees boy and spin him around like an airplane… this is what rescue is about. Trust. Safety. Connection.

Hades didn’t just find a home. He found HIS people. The kind that saw who he could become and stayed long enough for him to believe it too.

Love, loyalty, and persistence paid off in the most beautiful way. Welcome home forever, sweet boy. 🖤

Some dogs come into rescue scared, uncertain, and carrying the weight of a life that didn’t always feel safe… and then there are moments like this. ❤️

Cruz, now lovingly known as Larry, has found exactly where he was always meant to be. Watching him melt into his momma’s touch, soaking up every second of love while relaxing in the evening air, says more than words ever could. And the second she stopped? That little “hey… don’t stop” absolutely melted us. 🥹

This is what healing looks like.
This is what trust looks like.
This is what home looks like.

The bond between these two and the rest of the family grows stronger each day, and it is so incredibly beautiful to witness. Larry is no longer just surviving, he is loved, cherished, safe, and finally able to simply be a dog.

Happy Tails, sweet Larry. We could not love this for you more. 🐾
