So You Want To Adopt Your New Best Friend

Big Fluffy Dog Rescue is headquartered in the Nashville area, but we place dogs across a wide area, including the southeastern states, the mid-Atlantic, parts of New England, the midwest and northern tier states. Our goal is to make the best rescue match taking into consideration the animal's background and your family's needs. Every animal is different: personality, temperament, energy, comfort with kids and other animals, medical needs and more. We take all these factors into consideration when making a furever-home match. We are very careful about the placements we make. We do our best to match the right animal with the right adoptive home because we want this to be the pet's permanent home.

If you are willing to wait for the right animal to be matched to you,
you are an ideal candidate for Big Fluffy Dog Rescue. As our success rate proves, finding the right dog is well worth the wait.

OUR PROCESS

1

Apply

We appreciate your interest in adopting a dog.  In order for us to find the right pet for you, we need you to submit an adoption application as the first step.

2

Review

We will review your application upon receipt. If we have any questions or concerns, we will contact you for clarity.

Finding Your Pet

Once approved to adopt, the search for your dog begins. Volunteers will begin to evaluate pets currently in our program who may be a good fit for you and your family. Of course, we will always talk to you about a dog in our care that you are specifically interested in.

  • Adoption fees range from $375 to $600, based on the age of the dog.
