Frankly, I'm astonished that this beautiful 8 month old female Mastiff is still in rescue. Her name is Geneva and what a happy baby girl she is! Potty trained, crate trained, vetted and ready for her forever home she is full of puppy antics, wants to play with people or dogs, really doesn't matter to her! She loves her toys, kids and adults, giving kisses and generally being a puppy. You couldn't ask for a more beautiful or better temperament in a puppy. This girl will love you beyond measure and make you laugh until your side hurts. She loves to SMILE at you! She has energy to burn! She is a Mastiff, what exact breed we are not certain, the contenders are - Presa Canario, English or possibly Fila Brasilerio most likely a mix. At her last vet visit she was 72 pounds, that was well over a month ago so she is probably well over 80 by now. She is in need of continued obedience training and she has some food aggression issues with other dogs, not humans, I've taken food right out of her mouth. Given her history it is understandable. It is not a problem if dogs are fed separately, it only becomes an issue when food is left out or free fed.

Geneva and her brother (already adopted) were dumped in a remote part of Polk County. Another rescue was contacted about the dogs they could not help as they are beyond capacity, as with most shelters and rescues at the moment. The woman that took the call, could not just walk away and went out and picked up the puppies and took them to her home, an hour away. They were underweight, dirty and very much in need of care. She cared for them until they were out of the woods and then tried to place them. Her rescue contacts do not have an audience for giant breeds so she contacted us. We picked up the puppies and took them into rescue. They were fully vetted (not neutered) and the male was adopted immediately. A previous adopter had recently lost their English Mastiff and were looking for a male Mastiff puppy to join their pack. Geneva is scheduled to be spayed August 3rd.
