Bean

2 years old, Fawn and Spayed.

Bean’s foster writes:

She is coming along. This week she will be 2 years old. We are doing the Stop Soldier Suicide 30 miles in 30 days dog walk and she is getting much better at walking on a leash. If anyone needs a moler/mouser she is 5 star. She doesn’t like dogs smaller than her but loves my big calm mastiff. Does ok with calm cats. Not good with birds. Tortoises depends on her mood. She needs a calm home either where she is the only dog or with one other large mastiff who keeps her calm.

Bean is a young dog needing lots of training. Her Foster has worked wonders with her but she will need more. MRF will require that the adopter go to outside training ..it takes work to make these young dogs great companions. If you are interested in Bean, please fill out the application and we will contact you to set a time for a Home Visit.

Potter

Potter’s foster writes:

“Potter is a very special dog who will need a very special adopter. He is an absolute love with his people but can be dog and stranger reactive sometimes. He would do well in an experienced home as an only dog or with a dominant female. He is not aggressive…but if a dog challenges him then he will be reactive. I’m currently working with a trainer and it will be required that the future owner/adopter will continue his training. He adores attention, knows basic commands and really tries hard to please. Potter is goofy and comical.

He was overweight when he came into MRF and we have gotten him down to a much healthier weight.”

If you are interested in Potter, please fill the application out, once we get it we will contact you to set a time for a home visit. Please realize with Potter MRF will require additional training for the adopter and Potter. This is a beautiful mastiff and will make a great companion with more training.

Delilah

Delilah ready for a home

Meet Delilah! She was born on 08/21/2021, stands about 25 inches at the shoulder and now weighs about 110 pounds. She is a healthy girl who has been spayed and is up to date with vaccines and heartworm prevention. According to Embark she is 51.8% English Mastiff, 19.5% American Pit Bull, 12.2% Cane Corso (Italian Mastiff)10.6% Great Dane, and 6.1% Presa Canario (Spanish Mastiff). Her temperament is more like her Italian, American and Spanish cousins than the English side of the family. She loves to be cuddled and petted, but she has a very high prey drive and can not be trusted around small animals or birds, think cats and chickens!

She would be best suited to a family with adults and teens, no small children. She is a fast learner but can be very stubborn. She knows off, sit, down, crate, outside and come but if she is focused on something else may not reliably respond to commands. Further obedience training will be a must for her. She is good meeting new people, a bit shy at first and has not shown aggression toward other dogs. An adopter who is experienced with guardian breeds is preferred.

MRF requires that all dogs under 3 years go with their owners to outside training classes for socialization and obedience. These are young dogs and training is an absolute must to form a successful relationship.
