Bryce is a wonderful 2 year old fawn male mastiff. He has been diagnosed with PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy) and will eventually be blind. There is nothing that can be done to stop the progression of this disease. He has also been neutered, as all rescues do, but in this case, it was especially important so as not to pass along the defective PRA genes, as all of his offspring would also eventually be blind. He came in with green goo covering his entire face from eye infections (along with every worm imaginable, coccidia, and severe ear and skin infections as did Ali). He needs eye drops every day and he has also been started on supplements to possibly slow down the progression of the PRA (although, of course, there is no medical evidence that these supplements work). Bryce is a very sweet, loving mastiff that wants nothing more than to be hugged on all day. He will only be adopted with Ali as he will need her when he loses his sight. And he really needs to find his forever home soon. There is no timeframe specified as to when he will completely lose his eyesight (his right eye has less sight than his left, and his left eye also has several cataracts), but he needs to be familiar with his surroundings for when he does. Not only will it take a very special person (or persons) to adopt a pair of mastiffs, but it will take an angel to take on a mastiff that will eventually be blind. Blind dogs do very well after losing their sight and Bryce will definitely be that way. I have started teaching him associative words (such as right, left, door, step) so that he will somewhat know what to expect when he hears this word. He loves to go for walks... and is great with every dog and person he meets. He does need some obedience training, but he learns quickly and listens very well. If there is someone out there that is looking for a wonderful pair of mastiffs to love... this is the pair! Please consider opening your heart and home to Bryce and Ali. Adoption application is available at www.neomastiffrescue.com . Thank you!
