After working in an animal shelter, Alli Stetz quickly realized how stressful a shelter environment can be for dogs. Even more, she found that bully breed type dogs were often discriminated against and many potential adopters were averse to adopting pitbulls due to misconceptions they were led to believe about the breed.

Biggies Bullies was purposefully founded as a foster home based rescue, without the intent to open a shelter of its own. Alli felt that it was important to allow these dogs to be shown in a home setting, not behind cage bars in a stressful shelter.

In January of 2025, Alli and the Board of Directors decided to refocus the mission of Biggies Bullies to pet retention efforts. Biggies has always believed the beloved pets should stay in their own home, but now we are focusing on efforts soley on this mission. By providing support for veterinary care expenses, pet food, cold weather assistance, training resources, and more, we know that we can help keep more pets in their homes.
