  • What is Hungry Hippo's Pet Food Pantry?

A program of Biggies Bullies, Hungry Hippo's Pet Food Pantry provides high-quality, nutritious pet food to families in need in the greater Pittsburgh region. We partner with food banks and Meals on Wheels programs to ensure that households receiving food assistance also receive needed food assistance for their pets. Financially strained households are often forced to surrender their pets due to lack of money to buy pet food. Our mission is to keep pets healthy, in loving homes and out of already-crowded shelters.

  • Who is Hippo?
Hippo is one of the many bullies rescued by Biggies Bullies, a foster-based pit bull rescue in Pittsburgh, PA. Since being adopted by Biggies Bullies founder Allison Stetz, Hippo has become a local celebrity and ambassador for the bully breed. Hippo, who does in fact look like a little furry hippo, is always ready to eat, and although she can be quite the pig she really wants to help other pets pig out too!

You can follow Hippo and her helping ways on Instagram and Facebook!
