Big Paws of the Ozarks, Inc. in Fayetteville, AR
Big Paws of the Ozarks is currently a foster-based dog rescue organization. We rescue dogs from local animal shelters, as well as strays and owner surrenders, and work to find them permanent homes. Arkansas faces a significant issue with the overpopulation of stray dogs, many of which are not spayed or neutered. Our mission is to help reduce the number of unwanted animals in the community.
