Florida Weimaraner Rescue, part of Big Dog Ranch Rescue, started when our Founder, Lauree Simmons, was asked for a small favor - drive to a shelter in Miami and pick up a Weimaraner that needed rescuing. Saying yes changed her life forever.

Lauree made an instant vow that no dog should die at a shelter due to time, space or a treatable medical condition. Fourteen years later, Big Dog Ranch Rescue is dedicated to rescuing dogs of all breeds, providing necessary medical care and finding their perfect home.
