Helping big friendly giants find love!
PetRescue’s data shows that big dogs can take twice as long to find a home when compared to small dogs, with large dogs receiving, on average, approximately 78% fewer enquiries than small dogs.
But big dogs = bigger love!
Help 100 big dogs find a loving home!
Adopted between May 13 – 26, 2025.
Together, let's break the love-o-meter!
Meet some big friendly giants that need your help finding love.
Even if you’re not looking to welcome a new furry family member, you can help by sharing their profiles - their lucky new family is out there, they just need your help to find them.
Meet big friendly giant, Chloe.
This gentle giant was the face of PetRescue's 2024 Christmas appeal '12 Pets of Christmas', and more recently, the star of a national campaign in partnership with Pet Circle to help big dogs find love.
Thanks to extra promotion, media coverage, and 50,000 flyers distributed by Pet Circle, Chloe's profile views increased by 333%...
To lend a paw to adopters, Pet Circle generously offered a $100 voucher to the first 200 people who adopted a large dog through PetRescue during the campaign. This program has now concluded.

Looking to grow your family?
It’s im-paw-tant to look beyond the breed (and size) when considering what type of pet would suit your home, family and lifestyle.
Research has shown that breed is not a reliable indicator of behaviour, care requirements or suitability to your family and lifestyle. So it’s best to consider an individual pet’s personality and likes and dislikes.
