Big Dogs Porch is a wonderful website and resource for owners of large and giant breed dogs. Big Dogs Porch fills a much-needed niche in the dog lover world.
Why is a giant breed unique? It’s not just because of their nutritional needs, but also because they learn differently and have different medical needs than the average dog. But large breeds aren’t just different because of their size. They often face more myths and prejudice than the average size dogs. After all, many people get a large breed dog for protection or as a guard dog for their homes. Oftentimes, a person will get a giant breed without knowing what they are getting themselves into. Once the giant dog has settled into their home, the owners often dump them because they were unprepared for the the unique traits possessed by giant breeds.
Unfortunately, the media also hypes these dogs as violent, unstable, vicious animals. These breeds are often the victims of breed specific legislation (BSL).
The mission of Big Dogs Porch is:
• To educate the public about large and giant breed dogs.
• To give new and prospective new owners a wealth of resources to thoroughly research and choose the breed that will best suit their home.

• To assist rescues in placement and fundraising for large and giant breed dogs.
• To implement an education program in schools to help the next generation learn that big dogs are nothing to fear, and how best to respond to them.
