Help save more lives

Welcome to Big Dog Ranch Rescue, the largest cage-free, no-kill dog rescue in the United States. It started with one compassionate act from a woman who refused to let 14 dogs be put to sleep at a shelter. Our founder, Lauree Simmons, saved 14 lives that day.

Now, over a decade later, Big Dog Ranch Rescue has saved more than 27,000 dogs.

It’s easy to be a hero, just like Lauree, when you join the Big Dog Ranch Rescue family. There are many ways to make a difference, just browse our site to see how you can help. We hope you visit our ranch soon, and so do the hundreds of rescues who are waiting to make a new best friend.
