Story
PLEASE READ ENTIRE PROFILE BEFORE APPLYING.Olga is a 182lb, 5 year old English Mastiff, and like all mastiffs she is a giant, lazy baby! Unfortunately though, Olga has been let down in life and has some trust issues because of it. She was abandoned by her old owner, and ended up in the shelter. Whatever happened in her life before, it caused her to not trust a lot of people, especially men, and young ones who may not be well-versed in a dog's body language. For this reason we are only going to adopt her to a home without men, unless they have professional experience with dog training or behavior.She is extremely loving and affectionate with women she trusts, it just might take a few meetings. If she doesn't like you, just give it time, and work with her. She's not mean, just uncertain, and will react accordingly. She is currently on Prozac for her anxiety. Due to her history she needs a good amount of structure and personal time to solidify the dog-owner bond. Because of this, it would be best that Olga goes to a quiet home of only one or two adults, preferably someone with experience owning very large dogs. Good news though - Olga is fine with most other animals!! Of course if you have a dog a meet-and-greet will be required, but she's lived with dogs before and had no issues. If you give her a chance you won't be disappointed: she really is a sweet and gentle giant. She loves to sniff around the yard and scratch her back in the grass, and she is very gentle taking treats. She'll lean on you for ear rubs and neck scratches, and she likes to give slobbery kisses! So, won't you give Olgie a chance?To adopt one of our animals, please visit our shelter, open Tuesday-Friday from Noon-6pm and Saturday from Noon-4pm.
