My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bayleaf is a medium-sized sweetheart with a gentle soul, still learning to trust the world around her. As a recent mama, she’s shown incredible resilience and tenderness despite her fearful nature. Humans are new and unfamiliar to Bayleaf, so she’s cautious as she navigates her surroundings.

Leash training is a work in progress, but with patience and love, Bay is beginning to take small steps toward confidence. Once she trusts you, her true personality shines—a sweet, snuggly, and loving companion who will melt your heart with her quiet affection.

Bayleaf is looking for a patient and understanding home where she can continue her journey at her own pace. If you’re ready to offer a safe space filled with love and encouragement, Bayleaf is ready to be your loyal and devoted friend.Big Paws of the Ozarks is a foster-based dog rescue in Northwest Arkansas. We require an approved adoption application on file before scheduling meets with our dogs. You can find the application here (www.bigpawsozarks.org/adoption-application). Please email info@bigpawsoftheozarks.org if you have specific questions about an available dog.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process is thorough in order to ensure dogs go to the best possible home. We try and make it as streamlined as possible, and are often able to set up meet and greets with approved applications within 2-4 days. We often get multiple applications for each dog, and choose applicants based off the best possible fit for each dog.

More about this rescue

Big Paws of the Ozarks is a foster-based dog rescue in Northwest Arkansas. We aim to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs in our local community. We specialize in large breed dogs (over 40 pounds) but do get the occasional small paw in rescue too! We work closely with shelters and other rescues in our community to target and save dogs who are at risk of euthanasia or have found themselves falling between the cracks of our animal rescue community.
