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 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 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.

Fosters: Lisa and Troy write:

“ What is there to say about Stella? She was dumped out of a truck in the rain at a
warehouse. A good Samaritan saw it happen and took her home. They then reached out to MRF and held her until I could pick her up two days later. She greeted me as if I was a long-lost friend tail wagging and eager to meet me. To describe Stella, she is 90 lbs. of eagerness and love. It’s possible that she is a Pocket Mastiff, but I will say she is much smaller than most mastiffs, but her heart is as large if not larger than any dog. She has to be part of any affection being given out at any time. And she is not just a taker she is always by someone’s side trying to give some of the affection back. She will squirm and squeeze to any spot between people, other dogs or pillows to get next to someone. She will follow you everywhere and lay down wherever you are. She is house broken; she goes to the back door when she wants out doesn’t bark or anything, but she will pace back and forth to from and around the door until you notice. She is dog friendly and as far as cats?? The outside cat we have that hangs around the house Stella was keen to check out, first encounter Stella cautiously approached him sticking her nose out to sniff and POP right on her nose and that was it, game on. Now she shows way too much interest in the cat with a window between them. She has never shown any type of aggression to any person. She does enjoy treats and food, but she is not food driven. She walks fairly well on a leash she pulls a little starting out but settles down and then does well. She has been chipped, brought up to date on her shots and is in good health. Stella will make an outstanding dog for almost anyone with maybe the exception of a cat owner.”

Stella is heartworm positive and we are treating her with the slowkill treatment. She is about 3 years old and we are talking with the vet as to when to spay her or is she already.
Because she was dumped in the street, we have no records only the veterinary that MRF is doing. Stella has a wonderful personality and everyone she meets she loves and she loves them JUST NOT CATS!
