My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Currently being fostered in Illinois.

Serafina came to us with her brother and sister from a Missouri puppy mill. They are all 1.5 years old and from the same litter. Last year, we rescued their mom from the same puppy mill,  where the owners used her for breeding then disposed of her. Upon bringing the mom to the vet for medical care for the many issues she had (i.e., mastitis, prolapsed vagina, bacterial and fungal infections, parasitic infections, etc.), we discovered that she had a C-section with her internal and external incisions closed with WIRES. She was suffering from severe infection, as well as an obstruction, and was very close to death as she spent days in the ICU stabilizing and undergoing life-saving surgery.

Given the circumstances from which these dogs came, especially considering what their mom went through under this puppy miller’s “care,” we are relieved that Serafina has been fairly mild mannered (but with a dash of typical Neo attitude!) and healthy. We have gotten her up to date on all her shots and provided with all the medical care she needed. She is now ready for her forever home! She will need humans who will be patient with her as she adjusts to living in a home and gains confidence. Please apply for Sonia here:  https://www.mastino-rescue-inc.org/adopt
