Big and Small Rescue Society

We are a Vancouver-based registered non-profit society dedicated to re-homing dogs These dogs are sad, sick, often starving, and many are badly abused.

We rescue dogs locally, from Northern Canadian reservations and dogs about to be euthanized in high-kill shelters in California. These shelters destroy 87% of their intake or nearly 1000 loving dogs a month. We are not changing the world with our small rescue efforts, but to quote a popular saying in rescue, 'we are surely changing the world for that one dog'. We take these dogs in to foster homes where they are lovingly restored to health. We find them kind and caring homes and make them the promise to love them forever. It's a labour of love; it's our small effort to live up to their incredible friendship. Although we appreciate the many caring foster and adoption applications for our dogs, it is our mandate to fit the family to the dog's needs, not vice versa. As such, not all applicants may be considered suitable for our rescue dogs.

ADOPTER NEEDED – MEET ROCKY! 💙
This cute powder puff dude called Rocky is available for adoption. He is a super sweet 8–10-year-old Bichon Frise x . He has such a lovely soft curly coat. Sigh. Reminds me of a soft pillow or a white cloud floating across the sky. He weighs only 17 lbs. Rocky is ham. He has the cutest little snaggle tooth. This guy is a CHILL GENTLEMAN. He loves walks, food, treats, belly rubs, squeaky toys and cozy couch naps. Sounds just fine by me. He loves car rides and walks. He has an eye for squirrels! Rocky loves dogs on his walks. Rocky is living with cats and he does well. He quite likes cats and wants to play. Rocky is looking for a loving forever home where he can enjoy the simple things in life. We think a laid-back household would suit his demeanour best. He is in the Lower Mainland.
To adopt ROCKY, please fill out an application at www.bigandsmallrescue.com

ADOPTER NEEDED - MEET TYKE - This darling chihuahua mix is all about a warm spot on a comfy couch. He is 15 lbs and about 3-5 years old. He is a lovely little gentleman and walks well on a leash. He does well on his walks meeting other dogs and has a little canine play mate he regularly meets up with. He is good with people. While there isn't a bad bone in his body, he is a little on the shy-side and we think he'd prefer a quieter home. Maybe no young kids. He is not tested with cats. He is not demanding and pretty low gear. He is just seeking an equally refined human to hang out with. He's not much of a barker and does not appear to have much separation anxiety. Yah, this is a pretty chill dude.

ADOPTED BY WONDERFUL PEOPLE - MEET WRANGLER. Oh Dear Lord. What have we here? Wrangler is one cutie-patootie. He weighs about 12 lbs and is 11-12 weeks old. What mix is he? So hard to say. Maybe some Dobie? Maybe something smaller like a heeler or border collie or maybe a Jack Russel? He has gorgeous freckly legs. Wrangler is a smart little puppy. He listens and wants to learn. He also loves a lot of cuddles. We think he would fit into most households with kids, cats and other dogs. Just as long as his fosters have time for him and patience for a baby pooch. Fosters must be in the Lower Mainland to access our vets.
To adopt Wrangler, please go to our website and fill in an application form online at www. bigandsmallrescue.com or email us at [email protected]

FOSTER NEEDED - MEET JUNY - We are looking for someone experienced in schnauzers or the terrier breed class. This lovely sweet girl is looking for a warm lap and someone to love her. She is about 2 years old. She weighs 19 lbs. We see Schnauzer and maybe some Havanese. Hard to say. Juny is a love bug who shadows her human around the house. She curls up on the couch next to her person. She loves plenty of chin rubs. She enjoys her walks. A good neighbourly sniff suits her just fine. She is on the shy-side when it comes to loud urban noises but more exposure will help normalise city life. She gets along with other dogs; not tested with cats yet. Juny is a laid back girl. She is very Schnauzer in her personality profile and we feel the terrier people will understand her best .We think she would prefer a quiet home so no young kids. The foster must be is in the Lower Mainland of BC.
To foster this beauty, please go to our website and fill in a form online at www. bigandsmallrescue.com or email us at [email protected]
