THE BIG BANG BOYS: HOWARD  This golden brown boy's mom was a stray rescued by a loving family, but a neighbor's intact male dog impregnated her before her new owners could have her spayed. So ... the Big Bang Boys were born May 19 into a family who was able to rescue one dog but not able to care for five. To these adorable mixed breed babies, the world is simply something to play with that they haven't gotten their teeth into yet. They love to wrestle, eat, drink, chew, tug, nap and repeat. Like his Big Bang namesake, Howard is a mama's boy. He feeds off love and enjoys giving it back by snuggling. Like his brothers, Howard also is a blank slate. The dog he becomes is up to the individual, couple or family who takes him in, but TDR gives owners a BIG boost on the process. The adoption fee is $150. TDR covers the rest of the cost of: initial veterinary exams, all rounds of puppy vaccinations, neutering, microchipping and heartworm preventative. To take advantage of this extensive vet care, adoptive families must live in the Gulfport/Biloxi area. Ready to find out more?

We at Tired Dog Rescue strive to find homes for dogs in need, build quality relationships with responsible owners, and preserve current dog-family homes by seeking solutions to financial, behavioral, and situational dog problems. We believe the lives of homeless, abandoned and abused dogs are just as precious as dogs that currently have a loving home. We believe that all dogs deserve a loving home despite their age, medical condition and/or disabilities. We provide whatever medical care is needed regardless of cost. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations before being placed.
