We recently brought a couple of female English Mastiff/Great Pyrenees puppies into rescue. Today we got a special delivery message from one of those girls. Here's what she had to say:

"Hello Future Family! My name is Bean (aka Siri) and YES, I'm as sweet as I am beautiful. My foster mom just can't get enough of my kisses & snuggles. I have two foster siblings and its SO much fun to wrestle and chase each other in the yard. Sometimes I see lizards and chase them too.

I am very curious and like to investigate what is kept in closets and drawers. Since I'm a puppy, sometimes my foster mom has to remind me what I'm not supposed to do, but I usually listen. I know how to sit and am working on walking on a leash. Being in my crate alone at night is not my favorite place to be, so my foster dad put it in their bedroom, I'd still rather not be in there. But, I'm a puppy & I'm learning more about this big world everyday. I really want to find my forever family so I can give them all the love and cuddles they deserve."

A couple of weeks ago, Miss Olive was returned to the rescue after having been adopted for a couple of years. (No negative comments, please) She was absolutely terrified upon her return to the rescue. I took a couple of days for her to start to decompress and allow me to pet her. We decided that she needed a calm, quiet environment away from the rescue ranch.

It broke my heart when I met her foster mom during the transport and Olive looked at me as if I too, was abandoning her. Although I was certain this was best for her - it was painful, she is such a sweet girl.

The best news came to us the other day, her foster mom has decided to adopt her!!!! She too realized that Olive needed to learn to trust again and moving her yet again would prolong that process. We get regular reports on her progress and it is slow, but it is progress.

We can't thank her foster mom enough for all the love and care. We look forward to continued updates on Miss Olive!!!

Today is National Dog Film Festival Day, National Men Make Dinner Day, National Cash Back Day and National Nacho Day. Somehow I think the Nacho Day was formed to give the Men Making Dinner an easy way out!!!

Speaking of things that are easy, we present to you Sir Reginald. He is a Great Dane mix, about 6 years old, neutered, up to date on vaccines, crate trained and LOVES car rides. He was returned to the rescue through no fault of his own. His family has found themselves in a difficult situation and felt that Reg should have a stable home.

He has been with me at the office and he is the sweetest boy, he will be your shadow and only wants to love you and be loved. He has been around older children and done well. He met some of the dogs at the rescue ranch last night and was timid and shy, but responded properly to the other dogs.

Sir Reginald is a wonderful boy and will make some lucky adopter the best companion you can imagine.

November is Adopt a Senior Month!!!

The three ladies shown have been with us a LONG time. Multiple years in some cases.

Gracie - age unknown, former street dog, rescued after being tied to the sign in front of my office. She is sweet and loving with all humans, plays well with other dogs, has food aggression (understandable if you realize she probably had to fight for food on the street). Gracie is moving into her golden years and would love to have her own person and couch to lay on and be loved.

Harper - Neapolitan Mastiff has been with us for multiple years and is with a foster family at the present time. She is a sweet girl to her people, but in typical Neo fashion she needs rules, boundaries and structure in order to thrive. She needs a home as only dog. She too is moving into her golden years and deserves a home of her own.

Maggie - true age unknown. Maggie was brought into our vet to be euthanized after being used as a bait dog in a fighting ring. We couldn't let that happen. She is loving and happy girl with her foster family. She is moving into her senior years as well. She has been in rescue for YEARS - please give her a forever home. She also needs to be only dog.

Today is American Football Day, Gunpowder day, National Bonfire Night, National Redhead Day and finally National Chinese Takeout Day!

It is also the day we introduce you to Siri. She is the sister to Milan, who we introduced to you yesterday. She is approximately 6 months old, her parents are an English Mastiff and a Great Pyrenees. She has stunning brindle coloring, most likely from the Mastiff genes. She will be a very large dog and with this combination a terrific guardian of home and hearth that will be stubborn and love the outdoors when it's cool.

Training, socialization and lots of patience will be needed to make certain Siri is a good canine citizen. We will require that she receive training and be spayed when the time is appropriate. Proof will be required as a provision of the adoption contract.

These girls are being fostered in homes with other dogs and young people and are doing amazing. They have not been tested with cats. You can now complete the adoption application online at:

Today is National Chicken Lady Day, Use Your Common Sense Day (this should be everyday), National Easy Bake Oven Day (who remembers these?) and finally National Candy Day.

It is also the day we present to you Miss Milan. About 6 months old, parents were an English Mastiff and a Great Pyrenees so she will be a very large girl. They are current on vaccines and housebroken. Milan is being fostered in a home with a child and she is absolutely enamored with her. She is also doing well with the other dog in the home.

She will need a home that is willing and able to provide structure, training and lots of love. This is the type of the dog that requires training in order to be happy and well adjusted. We will also require that she be spayed at the appropriate time. Proof of spay will be required as a provision of the adoption contract.

If you are interested in Miss Milan please complete the adoption application at the link below.

No matter what is going on in the world or our personal lives the rescue wheel continues to turn. We present to you Milan (fluffy fawn girl) and Siri (smooth coat brindle). These girls are 6 months old, current on vaccines, sweet as can be and looking for their forever homes.

They are English Mastiff and Great Pyrenees, interesting combination for certain. They have had no training and were a bit timid during transport, but they are leaving the only home and people they have known, so it’s understandable. These will be very large dogs, that will probably end up having more guarding behavior than the typical English Mastiff and a greater size than the typical Great Pyrenees. For these reasons, training and socialization will be imperative and required.

The girls are intact because they are too young to be spayed at this point. Having them spayed will also be a requirement of adoption.

At present they are heading to foster homes, but are available for immediate adoption. They will be on the website soon, but if you would like to apply to adopt them click the link below.
