What’s in a Foster Intake Box and Why It Matters for Giant Breed Dogs
What’s in a Foster Intake Box & Why It Matters for Giant Breed Dogs
When a giant breed dog like a Mastiff or Great Dane enters rescue, it’s often in crisis. They may have been surrendered, abandoned, or pulled from a neglect case. They’re confused, anxious, and unsure of what comes next. Big Dawgs = Big Brains = Bigger Emotions.
That first day. the “intake” moment can be one of the most stressful times of a dog’s life.
That’s why The Big Dawg Box exists. We hand-package welcome kits specifically for giant breeds to help ease that transition and show them they’re safe and cared for.
What’s Inside the Box? What do you need to foster a giant breed?
As we are transitioning and introducing new brands and ideas there is no guarantee of all these products but more of a general idea:
- Wipes and shampoo – for instant comfort and hygiene
- A collar and leash – many intakes come without basics
- Custom items – like vinyl name decals or a bandana
- Treats, CBD, or enrichment toys – to calm nerves and offer comfort
Every product is curated for giant breed dogs 100 lbs+, sourced from trusted small businesses, and designed to meet the needs of the giants who often get overlooked.
🐾 Why It Matters:
Rescues are overwhelmed. Between rising medical costs, volunteer shortages, and constant intakes, they don’t always have the time or funding to assemble full kits for every dog.
