Meet Bianca! This little pup was rescued from Mexico, where she lived on the streets and had to fend for herself. Now that she's finally in a safe place, all she's missing is a human to give her the love and care she's been waiting for. Bianca is rather shy and scared at the moment, so she needs someone patient and willing to show her that the world isn't such a scary place. Adopt Bianca!

Meet Princey! I came to the rescue scared and worn down, convinced the world wasn’t safe. I had my babies to protect, and I wasn’t about to let anyone get close. But my foster family? They were patient. They showed me that trust isn’t something I had to earn back—it was something I deserved all along. Now I’m that dog who absolutely lights up when you walk in the room. I love affection, I love attention, and I’m so happy to finally be a dog again instead of just a survivor. My four boys, Duke, Baron, Prince, and Earl are growing up so fast, and watching them play and explore reminds me every day that I made the right choice to let people love me.

Meet Duke! I’m a healthy, happy terrier mix pup ready to grow into my forever home. My mom Princey spent the early weeks teaching me what it means to be loved and safe, and that foundation means everything. I’m excited to bring all that warmth and energy to a family who’s ready to raise me and help me become the dog I’m meant to be. I’ll grow into my own personality with you by my side, and I can’t wait to discover who that is.

Meet Baron! I’m one of four amazing boys, all raised with a mom who finally learned what love looks like. That matters. It’s shaped who I am already, and it’s given me a strong, confident start. I’m ready to bond with my family and become the dog I’m meant to be. There’s a lot of love ahead of me, and I’m so ready to share it with the right people.

Meet Prince! I’m a healthy pup with a good mama and plenty of love ahead of me. I’m curious, playful, and ready to explore the world with a family who’ll help me become my best self. Having Princey as my mom taught me that people can be trusted, and now I’m excited to bring that openness and joy into your home. Let’s grow together.

Meet Earl! I’m a terrier mix pup with my whole life ahead of me. My mom is showing me every day what it means to be safe and loved, and now I’m ready to find that same kind of home. I’m looking for a family who’ll help me settle in, give me time to adjust, and let me just be a puppy. I can’t wait to meet you and become part of your story.

Hi! I'm Petals!
I was kicked out of a car and left to fend for myself, but someone saw what happened and has been looking after me for a couple of weeks before I came to Big Love Animal Rescue. Now I’m ready for the next step, which is a life where I’m safe and loved in a forever home. I’m a sweet girl who’s ready to trust again, and I’m so grateful for the kindness I’ve already been shown. I have a cherry eye that still needs to be addressed, so my new family will need to make that a priority. Once I’m settled, I’m ready to give my whole heart to someone who’s ready to love me.

Meet Walter! For about two years, my whole world was a fenced-off cement yard. I didn’t get to explore much, but I always kept my spirits up and waited for something better. Now I’ve seen the vet, and I’m all good to go. I’m ready for the next chapter: a yard of my own is optional, but a family to sit with on the couch is a must. If you’re looking for a loyal friend who’s been patient for a long time, I’d love to meet you.

Meet Trixie! Trixie is a petite terrier mix who weighs just 9 pounds and has long, fluffy hair with a little coarse texture and the cutest curly fountain tail you’ve ever seen. We spotted her in a sea of small dogs at the Carson Shelter, and we’re so glad we pulled her. Her name means “charming trickster,” and she lives up to it every day. She makes her foster mom laugh constantly and runs around the house like a little circus dog doing parkour. She’s the smallest dog in her foster household, but she’s convinced she’s a big dog, and that confidence is part of her charm. She’s an excellent watchdog who’ll let you know who’s coming, who’s going, and who doesn’t belong. She reads the room well, too. When it’s time to rest, she follows suit, and at night she loves to burrow under your covers. During the day, she loves to play, chew on toys, and sprint from one end of the house to the other. She adores other dogs, enjoys playing with her foster siblings, and is a reliable referee during a game of tug-of-war. She’s a little cautious with new people at first, but once she sees you’re good, she’s in your face, giving kisses and happy to be held. Trixie is the dominant girl in her home, and she does best with a dog companion who matches her energy. She’s spayed and fully vaccinated, and she’s about 95% potty trained, so she’ll need a watchful eye to get outside on time. She’ll be the best and most entertaining little companion for life!

Hey there! I'm Hercules I'm the only surviving son of Mama Kitty, and I'm growing like a weed! I just finished nursing and I'm soaking up all the puppy life experiences—napping in sunbeams, discovering my toys, and learning what it means to be loved. I've got this sleek black coat with just a little white on my chest and speckled paws, and I'm gonna be a medium-sized pup when I grow up. I'm finally ready for adoption and I'm looking for a family ready for the puppy adventure. I'm curious, playful, and still figuring out the world—I'll need patience, consistency, and lots of love as I grow. But I promise it'll be worth it. I'm ready to become your best friend. Ready to welcome me home?

I'm Mama London, a sweet girl who came to Big Love after an emergency rescue. I had a rough start, but I'm here, I'm healthy, and I'm ready for my forever home. I'm calm, loving, and gentle—the kind of girl who'll curl up next to you and make you feel like the luckiest person alive. I'm currently nursing my puppies and recovering, but I'm doing beautifully. Once they're ready for their own homes, I'll be yours to love. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a big heart, I'm your girl.

Meet Asher! Asher is a happy, playful Maltese mix looking for his forever home! He was highly neglected and came to matted and in bad shape, but in spite of this he's a friendly and loving boy. He can be a little anxious, but that's to be expected given his difficult past. He would do great in a home with kids, and loves to do excited twirls when it's food time!

Despite her hardships, Kitty loves living life and has a wag for everyone and anyone she meets! She's as happy to go on an adventure as she is to cuddle in your lap.

Meet Winnie, a beautiful 3-year-old Pit Bull mix who has already come so far. ❤️
When we found Winnie at the shelter, she was absolutely terrified—shaking and curled up in the corner, unsure of the world around her. Sadly, that fear didn’t disappear the moment she was rescued. It translated into fearful behavior, and Winnie needed someone to help her understand that she was finally safe.
Winnie has just completed extensive professional training, and she is doing fantastic. She has made incredible strides, gained confidence, and continues to improve every day. We are so proud of how hard she has worked.
Now Winnie needs a very specific kind of home. She needs an experienced, Pit Bull-savvy owner who understands fearful dogs and can provide the structure, boundaries, love, and discipline she needs to continue succeeding.
We also want to be completely transparent: Winnie is not a dog you’re going to take to dog parks, crowded patios, or Starbucks. And that's okay. Not every dog needs that life to be happy. Winnie needs an owner who understands her limitations, advocates for her, keeps her safe, and gives her a calm, structured life where she can thrive.
In the right hands, Winnie is an incredibly special dog with so much love to give. We know her person is out there—someone who will see how far she has come and be willing to continue the work that has helped her become the dog she is today.
Winnie doesn't need a perfect world. She just needs the right person. ❤️

Meet Bunny (fka Venus), the happiest little pitbull in the world! Bunny is all love. Her smile is self-charging. Her tail is in perpetual helicopter mode. Her signature wonky walk fills hearts with glee. Possibly hit by a car prior to entering the shelter, she is full-steam-ahead enthusiasm. Bunny is the poster girl for resilience and joy!
Bunny is excellent on leash, easy in her crate, and she loves car rides. She’s non-reactive to other dogs on walks; however, she does need to be the only dog in the home. Bunny requires very little. She enjoys short, brisk walks. She needs to hear the soft hum of a real home -- a background TV, family phone calls, the music of dishes and friendly voices.

Cleopatra's story is one of rescue, resilience, and second chances. She was rescued from the sewer as a tiny pup by our very own director, Lisa, and her siblings. At just 9 weeks old, she was adopted into a loving home where she spent the next six years as a cherished family member. When her owner recently passed away, she was surrendered to Rancho Cucamonga shelter. The shelter staff went above and beyond to track us down, and we were determined to bring her back where she belonged. It took effort, coordination, and transport to make it happen, but we knew she deserved a second chance. Now 6 years old, Cleopatra is a medium-large mixed breed with stunning blue and amber eyes and a gorgeous cream and tan coat.

Meet Nora! This 2-year-old terrier mix has the biggest personality and those gorgeous golden eyes that'll steal your heart. Nora spent her early life tied up and chained outside, but that hasn't stopped her from being the sweetest, most resilient girl. She's ready for a real home—one with people, love, and the freedom to just be a dog. Nora deserves a family that will show her what life is really supposed to be like. If you're ready to give her a second chance and watch her personality blossom, she's ready for you.
