Effie the beagle/Great Pyrenees is in need of a retirement home
- Effie misses her Dad
Effie is a 7 year old beagle/Great Pyrenees mix. She is looking for a home in the Nashville, Tennessee, area. Effie’s owner died six weeks ago and she has been in a temporary place, but it’s not home. Effie is stressed and would do best as an only dog as she has never been with a lot of dogs and she is frightened of those bigger than her and not sure how to behave with other dogs. She is a spry little thing and she does love to go for romps in a fenced yard or for walks. Effie is not that large at around 60 pounds and she’s on the chunky side. This would make an outstanding dog for someone who wants a constant companion. If you are interested in Effie, please email jean@bigfluffydogs.com.
- Effie loves to play and romp in a fenced yard
Roxy the Shiba Inu/Great Pyrenees is looking for a home
Roxy is a happy, friendly dog
Meet Roxy, a 3 year old Great Pyrenees/Shiba Inu mix. That’s one you won’t see every day. Roxy is a very fluffy and chunky 55 pounds. She is currently clipped and blowing coat for the summer, but make no mistake, this is a fluffy dog in every sense of the word. Roxy is great with kids, cats and dogs and she has the happy disposition of the Shiba Inu with the more laid-back energy level of the Great Pyrenees. While we would not have thought of this combo, this is a nice mix.
Roxy's ears actually are up when not being stalked by the camera.
Lola needs a foster or forever home in New England
Lola is an awesome little girl
Lola is a 7 month old border collie mix. She has some Pyrenees in her ancestry, but it’s at least two generations back. This little girl will never weigh more than 45 pounds and she is a bit of a waif. Lola is friendly, active and happy. She is good with everyone and everything. She is a quick study and such a lovebug. If you are interested, email elizabeth@bigfluffydogs.com.
Milo the Anatolian Shepherd is looking for his forever home
Milo is 130 pounds of big beautiful dog
Meet Milo. This is a 3 year old Anatolian Shepherd. Closely related to Great Pyreness, the Anatolian Shepherd is a big, watchful guardian of home and flock and he is a devoted and occasionally silly pet. This boy needs a fenced yard and someone who will take him for long hikes and then hang our watching baseball with him. Milo is generally good with other dogs and cats, but he is probably happiest where he can be an only dog or have a female dog as a companion. Something about being the biggest dog on the block makes boy dogs want to try to measure up. This is the perfect dog for someone who wants a companion that is big, protective and devoted. This dog is in New England and available now. If you are interested in Milo, please email elizabeth@bigfluffydogs.com.
Milo loves to go for walks
Esme and Emma are looking for a TN foster home
- Esme is 7 pounds of cuteness
Emme is just as cute!
Meet Esme and Emme, two 8 week old sisters who are ridiculously cute. These two girls came from Georgia and are tornado survivors. Trouble seems to have followed them as their foster home was damaged early this morning by a falling tree in yet another storm. These girls are looking for a short term 1 week foster in the Nashville area as they are booked for transport north on June 3. We think they are aussie beagle mixes. If you are interested in fostering these two girls, email jean@bigfluffydogs.com.

He is very playful and has more of the golden temperament so potential homes need to know this is a jogging companion, not a couch potato at this stage of his life. Toby is eager to please and very smart. If you are interested in fostering Toby, please email elizabeth@bigfluffydogs.com.
George needs a very special foster or forever home in New England
George smiles a lot
This boy is a very special case. We have had him in boarding for two months now while we wait for the right home for him and the right home has not come. George is not good with cats and he is mouthy which rules him out around small kids. This dog needs lots of exercise and he needs a good bit of discipline. He is very sweet and eager to please, he just needs the right home without kids or cats to show up. He is generally good with non-domoinant dogs who like to play and romp. George is a Samoyed mix and he is getting very depressed. This is what we consider an emergency as this dog is not handling kennel life at all. If you can help, please email jean@bigfluffydogs.com.

If you’re interested in this guy, email jean@bigfluffydogs.com for more information.
Andre the Great Pyrenees needs help
Andre is recovering from eye surgery
We took in a senior Great Pyrenees named Andre recently. To say that he was a trainwreck is an understatement. He arrived emaciated weighing only 55 pounds, he was covered in hundreds of ticks and matted beyond measure. His body condition is still poor and we have only now got him up to 69 pounds when these pictures were taken. Andre also has a bad skin infection and we had to do surgery to correct an entropian eye that had become badly infected. He has been treated for tick paralysis and is on the mend.
This is Andre after he gained 15 pounds
Andre is on his way to being a healthy, happy dog and for the first time in his life, he’s enjoying the creature comforts of air conditioning, sleeping on the couch and endless food. Andre has racked up around $800 in bills and he is just one in a long series of high special needs dogs we’ve taken in.
We are fundraising to defray some of his costs to try to keep Big Fluffy Dog Rescue solvent enough to keep helping these special needs dogs. If you would like to donate, you can do so here: http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/pay-online.php and just click on the donate button. For those that prefer to donate directly to the vet, you can do so by calling Vet Med at 615-553-4156. Just tell them it’s for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue. Thanks as always from the big fluffies of the world.
Joey the golden mix is still looking for his forever home
Joey is still looking for his forever home
We can’t believe it, but Joey has been in foster with us since February and still has not found his forever home. This boy is good with people, kids, dogs and cats. He needs a home with a wood fence or a home that goes for long jogs or walks as he can easily scale a chain link fence, but he is otherwise a really good boy. If you are interested in adopting Joey, email elizabeth@bigfluffydogs.com for details.

Blue the pit bull needs some honorary big fluffy help
Blue is covered in fungal sores and has a huge fungal tumor
Meet Blue. Blue survived the Nashville floods of 2010. He spent three days in flood waters before he was rescued, and the water he was in was infected with all kinds of nasty things like e coli and fecal coliform among others. Blue has spent more than a year suffering the effects of the illness brought on by exposure to the toxic flood waters and his owner who is an elderly woman whose home was destroyed does not have the funds to treat him. That’s where we come in. Blue went to the vet today and had surgery to deal with the huge fungal mass on his shoulder. Tomorrow, he will be dipped to address the fungal lesions on his body. Even though this dog is far from our usual big fluffy, he needs our help.
If you can help, please donate to his chip in here: http://bigfluffydogs.chipin.com/blue-the-flood-victim-dog. Alternately, you can call in to donate directly to the vet treating him if you prefer. His number is 615-553-4156. Just tell them this is for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue and Blue. Thanks as always from all the dogs.

Meet Chani the adorable Wheaten terrier mix
Adorable, fluffy and cute
Meet Chani. She was alleged to be a Great Pyrenees mix, but we think at 37 pounds at 2 years old, she’s probably not a pyr mix. She is adorable and the best guess is she’s a wheaten terrier mix. Whatever she is, she’s adorable. She is ready for a home.
