Story
LOCATION: Manchester, NHDOB: 02/20/2016Meet Isla, a larger-than-life senior Bullmastiff with a personality as bold as her 130 pounds of pure cuddle power. At around 8–9 years old, she’s perfected the art of being both hilarious and heartfelt. One moment she’s doing zoomies with all the grace of a bowling ball on paws, and the next she’s draped across your lap like she weighs ten pounds. Isla is queen of the dramatic sigh, master of the slow, thoughtful head tilt, and a firm believer that all eyes — and all affection — should be on her.Isla came to us from a Texas shelter, and she has made it abundantly clear that she’s ready for comfort and stability for the rest of her days. She expresses herself with gusto, barking when she’s excited, curious, or simply confused about why you walked into the next room without her. She’s the kind of dog who announces her opinions proudly and then expects a treat for sharing them.She is fully housetrained, rides beautifully in the car, and even tucks herself into bed each night as if it’s part of an important nightly ritual. She walks nicely on leash — unless she decides the walk is over, in which case she plants herself and refuses to negotiate. Isla is smart, stubborn, and endlessly charming. She also considers herself an elite snack detective, so anything edible left within reach should be considered fair game. She’s not destructive; she’s just opportunistic in the most lovable way.Isla prefers to be the only pet in the home. She isn’t aggressive, but she values her space and her people too much to share them with other animals. She adores humans of all ages, especially kids who appreciate her goofy personality and don’t mind a little drool with their affection. Due to her size and enthusiasm, she’d do best with adults or older children who understand her boundaries and her big-dog style of expressing joy.This girl does have arthritis and a small mast cell tumor that her future family should be aware of, but with her daily medication, she moves comfortably and still gets bursts of spunky energy that make everyone smile. A fenced yard would give her the freedom to trot, prance, or demand to be chased — one of her favorite games. She thrives with someone home often, someone who can shower her with companionship, belly rubs, and reassurance that she finally belongs.Isla is a one-of-a-kind senior with spark, silliness, and so much love to give. What she wants most is a soft place to land for her golden years — a home that will adore her dramatic flair, celebrate her quirks, and let her live out her life as the adored queen she believes she is.If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, opinionated, utterly unforgettable companion, Isla just might be your perfect match.========================= To apply to adopt me, please fill out the application form! https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176 .Note: SRGDRR adopts nationwide and offers transport options to help you find your perfect match!
