The
following mastiffs in the South Atlantic Region have been adopted. Their
stories are both interesting and at the same time sad. Fortunately,
these mastiffs are now happily living with their adopted families. They
have now escaped from the terrible conditions which most of them once
encountered.

Sam
Sam, a 17 month old fawn
male, was a pitiful sight when we rescued him from a shelter. He
had demodectic mange, infected eyes because of entropion, and
was cryptorchid. But . . . his confidence and charisma
shone through despite his problems. His foster parents - now his
forever family - saw him through dippings for mange, neutering,
and eye operations and fell in love.
Sam now is fulltime manager of two humans and a 70 acre farm
where he enjoys running through the woods checking on groundhog
holes and chasing deer. He is well traveled having been on
skiing tips, to the beach, and to the national specialty in
Atlanta. This picture shows Sam, in great condition, receiving his rescue medal and
ribbon at the specialty. |

Maddie
When Maddie was seven months old, she was hit by a car and
suffered a crushed femur and pneumothorax. Her family could not
afford to pay for the extensive treatment that would be required
and were going to resort to euthanasia. Their vet contacted
Mastiff Rescue and thus gave Maddie her chance for life.
After operations and several months of recuperating, Maddie was
placed with a family. The adoption did not work out - mainly
because Maddie was a very large, exuberant, untrained puppy. We
took Maddie as a foster when she was 11 months old and still on
restricted activity. by the time she was declared healed and
ready to go, she was part of this family - so we adopted her.
Today Maddie enjoys playing with her sister mastiffs, Merry
Belle and Katie, barking at the cats, playing in the water hose
and pool and snoozing on "her" king-sized bed. She
also enjoys obedience training - especially the
"cookie" part! |

Uhgg
"When I found Uhgg,
he was done in - skinny as a rail and just had that 'I give up'
look on his face. If we had run him off, I believe he would have
died that day. The first two days he just ate and slept on the
front porch and just looked grateful to be somewhere."
This is what the person who saved Uhgg said when he called Mastiff
Rescue.
Uhgg is an approximately 2 year old, apricot, intact dog. He is
heartworm negative, and has been given his vaccinations. He was
treated for hookworm. His rescuer fostered him.
He was in such emaciated condition that his neutering had to wait
until he built up some. On x-ray, it was found that he had
old healed fractures of the pelvis and femur. He also had shotgun
pellets in his rear!
His temperament is wonderful. He gets along well with all kinds
of animals. He rides well, walks well on a leash, and wags when
spoken to. He has finally found his forever home.

- Bay
Bay is
a sweet 1 year old brindle female. She is current on all
vaccinations and has been spayed. She is wonderful with adults
and children, but has a bit of an attitude problem with other
dogs. This young girl was
adopted during the first week of
October 2001.

Quarry-
a.k.a.
Pebbles
Quarry, a young male
mastiff, had been living in a quarry in Middle Tennessee for
several months before the workers there could approach him. They
were finally able to convince him to get in a car for a ride to
the vet. Mastiff Rescue was called, and Quarry was rescued.
X-rays showed that Quarry had had a dislocated hip - probably
from being struck by a car - which had not been treated and had
healed improperly. Because of this, he had trouble negotiating
stairs, but got around well otherwise.
After being neutered and getting his vaccinations and heartworm
tests, Quarry was transported to the mountains of North Carolina
to be fostered and now,
in October 2001, adopted by a wonderful lady there.

|  Butch
Updated. Hi, my name is Butch and I am 5 years old. I am a
pretty sweet fawn boy and since the nice lady in Rescue took me
in and had her nice doggie doctor take care of me, I am a healthy
and happy boy. I've gained a lot of weight with all the good food
and treats I get here .. I weigh 160 lbs. now and boy do I look
good!!
I really liked at my foster mom's, but I sure would like to have
my own personal family to cuddle up with. It would be nice if
you have a nice furgirl to be my girlfriend and playpal too. I
like big girls. I like to play soccer with the kids around here
too. I'm really good with bigger kids .. real small children make
me a little nervous, but I really like to play with kids from
about 8 yrs old and older.
Do you have room for me in your hearts and on your couch? I would
really love to have a family of my very own who will protect me
from thunderstorms.
Info: Butch is great with larger children (8 yrs old &
up), but he does not need to be around small children or animals.
As a matter of fact, Butch seems to harbor quite a grudge against
small fluffy animals. He has done well with all the dogs at my
house, but they are all 115 lbs and larger and they are all female.
Since Butch was not neutered until this past fall, he is rather
territorial with male dogs. Butch is a beautifully behaved dog.
He walks well on leash and is completely and reliably housebroken.
He has excellent house manners and does not cruise the countertops
or chew destructively. He is very nervous with storms. He will
sit as close to you as he can during a storm. If you aren't at
home, he is going to weather the storm under a table or in a closet.
After nearly 1 year, Butch was
Adopted - October 2001.
