I am Eric from I Love Every Dog, and I cannot stop thinking about Biggie Smalls.
Biggie Smalls was a pit bull placed in foster care through Gone Rogue Girls Rescue in Browns Mills, New Jersey. According to the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office, in April 2026, the rescue's operators visited his foster home to give vaccinations. A foster told police that Biggie Smalls became aggressive, that one of the operators pulled a gun and shot him, and that the couple took his body away. About a month later, the rescue posted a fundraiser saying Biggie Smalls had been humanely euthanized after a cancer diagnosis.
The couple was arrested on November 5 and faces animal cruelty charges. One is also charged with theft by deception over the fundraiser, and one with weapons offenses. Investigators say they found 12 more dogs on the property in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions, some without water. Prosecutors are also looking into whether other dogs were illegally euthanized. More than a dozen shelters sent dogs to this rescue because they trusted it.
I am asking the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office to do three things: bring every charge the evidence supports, including any unlawful killing of other dogs; seek strict conditions that keep the defendants away from animals while the case is pending; and publish a public account of every dog the rescue received, so that families and shelters know what happened to them.
Biggie Smalls trusted the people who had him. Please sign and share so prosecutors know the public is watching this case.
