Ace is making a lot of progress!! Ace has hard a horrible start to his life. He is making progress with his Foster, but he needs to find his forever home quickly. He is currently located in Nemo S. Dakota. We are looking for an adopter with-in driving distance. Ace needs a strong and firm owner that is patient and has large breed experience. We are unsure how he does with other dogs, but know absolutely no cats. No kids due to his size. This big guy was terrified after transport to his fosters home. She is getting him settled, but feels he need to find his furever home quickly ....as he started to bond too closely to her.

UPDATE- Ace is starting to adjust.
This is what his foster says-
He hates cats!
Best if only dog, as hasn't been tested with other dogs.
He needs someone that is firm with training, but patient, goes slow and steady.
He does have some resource guarding, but that is getting better.
She believes he was a backyard dog that was never taught anything, but he catches on qu**ky and is very treat motivated. Takes treats with a soft mouth.
He needs a calm, low key home.
He loves to chill and relax. Everyone and everything is so new to him. I have not had him around children, but due to his age and size...no children.
He LOVES walks and doesn't pull on the leash...unless he sees a cat....then hold on! ha. He has only been walked on the Fosters property, not in public yet.
He is currently on medication for his decompression stage and stress/anxiety of his past life. this will need to be continued for awhile until he settles.
He LOVES to be petted and to lay his head in my lap! I am truly in love with watching this big boy see that his life is getting better and not everyone are A-Holes.

ACE is BACK!
We had tremendous people interested in this big fella. Unfortunately things did not go as planned. The original adopter backed out at the last minute, and by last minute I mean once the transporter had driven him to TX. There was no one there to receive him! Ugh. So, we were able to send him to Nemo S. Dakota to be fostered with a few other dogs. Unfortunately he was confined in transport for 8 days! Not good. Ace has not handled the extended transport well. He is terrified and reactive at this point. We are hoping that once he decompresses he will settle. As of right now, Ace needs needs someone with large breed experience. The Foster reports he is not good with cats and would do best with a female owner. Due to the recent transport trauma, we are hoping to find an adopter that is close to Nemo S. Dakota.

Ashe- 2 yo Pitt - Update to initial post.
This super-sweet fella is still in Boise ID. We are unsure on how he does with other dogs or cats. He was transported from CA to Boise recently but the people who were adopting him changed their mind, so he was taken to a kennel boarding facility. He got kennel cough and went down-hill quickly. To the point the facility didn't think he was going to make it. that is when ID Mastiff Rescue stepped in and took him to an emergency vet. He has made a miraculous recovery and we've got to witness his sweet calm demeanor. Unfortunately, we were not able to keep with one of our Fosters so we had to take him back to Emerald Street Kennels. We are assisting the CA Rescue on trying to place this gorgeous Pitty. If interested please call or text 208.514.9763

UPDATE!

So I've had him for about 24 hrs now. He is the quietest dog I've ever had! He hasn't made a peep other than coughing, he is recovering from kennel cough, still on antibiotics but doing well. I had him in the crate last night for 10 hrs. He was as quiet as a mouse and went right to the back door this morning when I let him out. He's eating fine - I've added some more pictures so you can see how emaciated he is, honestly the pics don't do him justice, he is way more skinny in person (aren't we all? ;)
He is a lover, he likes to nibble, on your clothes, on your hand, I think he's just looking for some love. He had some ticks that we've treated. He hasn't reacted to a single thing at my house. My dog on the other hand, reacts to everything - deliveries, mailman, dog barking, etc. This guy - just kept snoozing through it all. That was a nice relief! No, I have not introduced him to my dog but my dog can be reactive so it's just not something I'm going to do, especially since he has kennel cough and is likely still contagious.

Check out this amazing guy! He isn't a Mastiff, he's a pitbull mix but due to an emergency situation, we're taking him on for the next few days. He's 2 years old and neutered. He was living on the streets in California with someone who was homeless and unfortunately had some issues with alcohol. The people who rescued him had seen him often and recently came across him in really bad shape with his owner intoxicated and passed out. They felt compelled to get him out of that situation. If we could find him a home that would be amazing! Otherwise transportation is going to be picking him up on Thursday and taking him to another kennel.
