Retriever and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Major

On December 11th, this beautiful boy arrived at a shelter in Cobb County, Georgia as a stray with an injured leg. Major was found on the side of a busy road, and it's likely he was struck by a car. Limping and unable to put weight on his back left leg, his finder knew he needed help right away and brought him to the shelter.

Radiographs revealed a clean transverse fracture of the proximal femur. The good news is that his pelvis is intact, and both acetabula and coxofemoral joints show no signs of additional fractures. Through it all, Major has been nothing but a sweetheart, handling his treatment and care like an absolute champ.

County shelters often aren't equipped to provide the level of care a pup like Major needs, so a rescue was urgently needed-and Big Dog Ranch proudly answered the call. Now safe at the ranch in Alabama, Major is resting comfortably while plans are made for his transport to the South Florida location, where the next steps in his recovery will take place.

Major's journey isn't over yet, but with continued care, love, and healing, he has a bright future ahead. This resilient, gentle boy is well on his way to a second chance at the life he deserves.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The retriever is a beloved dog breed known for its friendly demeanor, intelligence, and exceptional ability to retrieve objects. With a loyal and gentle nature, retrievers make excellent family pets and are popular choices for service and therapy work. These dogs excel in obedience training and activities such as agility and hunting. Recognized for their shiny coats and moderate size, retrievers come in various colors including golden, Labrador, and Chesapeake Bay. Their overall versatility and affectionate personalities make them cherished companions in many households.
