Help a Veteran, Save a Shelter Dog

Your generosity can benefit a veteran for many years to come!

Today we honor and thank those who have served our country and remember the military heroes who lost their lives fighting for our freedom.  Happy Veteran’s Day!

Organizations such as Big Dog Ranch Rescue (BDRR) are uniting homeless shelter dogs with our military heroes today and throughout the year! 

BDRR is proud to partner with Pets for Patriots, an organization that connects homeless dogs with veterans and military personnel. The program is open to individuals from any branch of the United States military at any stage in their careers. Plus, it opens up a spot at the Ranch (a no-kill animal rescue) for another deserving dog!   Donations to the Patriots Fund subsidize $200 of the adoption fee and the Patriot (adopter) donates $50.   Contributions to this program may be made in any amount between $5 and $200.
