BREED – Bull Mastiff
SEX – male
BIRTHDAY – May 28, 2022
WEIGHT – 120lbs
HEALTH – None
TEMPERMENT
- Ernie needs to be in a home with no other animals (He is territorial within his home).
- People friendly, he loves everyone he meets.
- Moderate-high prey drive. He is good on leash but his prey drive can kick in when he sees a squirrel/rabbit. He is not reactive to other dogs when out on a walk.
- He doesn’t have food/toy aggression.
- Ernie requires daily exercise, he has no problem going on an hour walk or 30 minute run, however he is a calm boy when in his home.
- Requires a fence yard. He has been known to take himself on walks by himself.
- Ernie is very sweet and loveable, he will always want to be near you. He is very loyal and will be your shadow, even in the bathroom!
OWNER SUITABILITY
- He is dominant and can be stubborn (typical mastiff) so he would therefore need someone with experience with a large breed alpha dog.
- He is a large boy who doesn’t always know his own size and can be uncomfortable around small children so a home with children 10+.
- He is house trained and is used to being home during the day when I am at work.
- Must be okay with drool, as mastiff are known for the this.
- There is a rescue fee. Please contact Jessica Kerwin at 613-850-7823 for more details.

1. All our dogs are fully vetted: they are fixed, chipped and up to date on all their shots and seasonal meds, if applicable.
2. Our dogs have basic obedience.
3. There is of course an adoption process. In the event of a suitable pairing, there is an adoption fee of $700 + tax.
There is a fairly structured adoption process which involves a commitment of time from potential adopters, and multiple trips to our facility. We are open to long distance adoptions, so long as the milestones of our adoption process are met https://www.keshetkennels.com/services/rescue-adoption/adoption-process/).
An adoption application, and home visit are part of the adoption process: https://www.keshetkennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Adoption-Application-2023.pdf

More about this rescue
Keshet Kennels/Rescue, in addition to providing services such as boarding/daycare and facilities rental, is a large breed dog rescue focused primarily on owner surrenders. Under certain circumstances we take dogs from other sources. Keshet’s focus is large breed dogs because we believe that large breed dogs are more at risk.
Neither Keshet Kennels nor Keshet Rescue are registered charitable organizations. Currently, the care of rescued dogs is funded by the owners, from individual sponsors and a portion of Keshet Kennels’ revenues.
