Big Love Animal Rescue
Our Mission
Big Love Animal Rescue is dedicated to ensuring that every dog is seen, saved, and loved. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to rescuing vulnerable dogs and showing the world that rescue dogs make extraordinary family members.
Our History
Founded by Lisa Arturo in 2019 in Valley Village, California, Big Love began with a vision to help dogs who were sick, injured, or simply running out of time. We created a space where neglected dogs receive necessary medical care, rehabilitation, and a gentle environment where they can learn to trust again.
Our Foster-Based Model
We are a 100% volunteer-run, foster-based rescue, meaning we do not have a physical, brick-and-mortar facility. Instead, our dogs thrive in the warmth of volunteer foster homes where they receive nourishment, safety, and the personal attention they deserve. This compassionate community ensures that every animal is treated like family—never just a number.
The Adopter Connection
We believe in creating the perfect, lasting match between our rescues and their new families. By thoughtfully considering each dog’s unique background, personality, and temperament, we ensure that every adoption is a happy and permanent one. Because we value these deep connections, we are careful and intentional in our placement process.
