Big dogs deserve a second chance.
We're a small, close-knit group of independent rescuers saving large-breed dogs from the high-kill shelters of the DFW area — and re-homing them in the Pacific Northwest and Northeast, where qualified adopters are waiting.

Our mission
Saving the dogs others overlook.
BDRP is a small, close-knit group of independent rescuers devoted to saving dogs from the multitudes of high-kill shelters in the DFW area. We specialize in large breeds and re-home them in the Pacific Northwest and Northeast, where there's less overflow and a high volume of qualified adopters.
