Story
Eli is a very loving dog that loves laying on the couch and watching tv! He likes sleeping in the bed with you but tends to be a bed hog! He loves playing but does get on the rougher side of playing at times. He is house trained and knows a couple of basic commands. He will be 5 years old the day after Christmas. He thinks he is a lap dog and has no concept of how big he actually is. Here recently him and his brother have not been getting along so I have to keep them separated at all times. Both of them cannot be out and about in the house at the same time. I do not have the yard for him to be able to run and play like he should and now it's winter so I cant let one be outside on the chain while the other is out free in the house. With the extra hours at work lately he is having to spend more and more time in the kennel and for a dog his size it is not fair. He loves pup cups and car rides.

Story
Boss is a very loving and sweet dog. He loves to cuddle and knows a few basic commands. He is good with kids and loves licking them in the face. He will be 5 years old the day after Christmas. He does not realize that he is not a lap dog and is completely unaware of his size! Lol Him and his brother recently started not getting along so I have to keep the separated at all times. Both of them cannot be out and about in the house at the same time. He has become increasingly jealous of his brother and any attention he gets which causes him to act out and have accidents in the house. I do not have a big enough yard for him. It is not fair for him to not have the room he needs to run and play. With the longer hours I have at work it is causing him to have more time in his kennel which is not fair for a dog his size. He does well on car rides and enjoys looking out the window! Walks well on a leash and harness.

Story
Molly Age: estimated ~2 years old.   Weight: 62 lbs. Breed: Great Dane mix.  Molly is a sweet girl that believes every dog is a lap dog regardless of their size. Don’t let her size fool you, this gentle giant doesn’t have a mean bone in her body and just wants to be loved. She was pretty mistreated in the past but that hasn’t changed her attitude towards humans or other dogs.  She’s been very friendly with every dog and human she’s met so far but she hasn’t been around cats at this time. Molly also doesn’t mind car rides, enjoys snoozing on the couch and walks pretty well on a leash but she’s not a fan of the cold/snow.  Molly wouldn’t mind another doggy friend to play with but would be ok being the only dog. She is crate trained and doing well with learning to go potty outside but she will need a patient, understanding owner while she learns a new routine.  She is very gentle when taking treats and although she jumps on people when greeting them she is pretty gentle when doing this which could make her a great pup for any household with humans/pets of all ages.  If you feel Molly is the right fit for you please apply today! She is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, and current on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. Molly's adoption fee is $250. Complete an adoption application at www.rescue330.org. ##2599891##

Story
  If you're in the market for a dog with the most soulful, kind eyes, look no further. Sweet Meredith may look like a cute senior pup, but she's actually only 3-4 years old! This  90lb girl spent a short amount of time in a foster home, (from Cleveland City Dogs), and her foster mom said she was a bit shy of the crate, but then ended being wonderful in the home anyways and didn't need the crate. She was house trained, and potty trained, and was chill in the house and a perfect guest that loved her foster mom very much. Fast forward to her present situation. She's been in a home where things are not quite working out, and we feel it was just not the right match for Meredith! Between school and work, Meredith is needing just a bit more than what is available for her. So we are going to try to find a new forever home for her!! We do not know how she will do with cats, and proper introductions will be required if other dogs are in the home. She was being worked on with leash training in her foster home. If you would like to be considered to adopt Meredith, please fill out a paws and prayers application, and after it is completed, please feel free to reach out to Debbie at jazzd1999@yahoo.com There will be a $100 rehoming fee with an approved application.  December 10, 2025, 5:39 pm

Story
Ava is a sweet, loving, very friendly one-year old pure-bred Great Dane pup. We got her from a breeder when she was 8 weeks. She loves going to doggy daycare and running around with her dog friends at her puppy pre-school. She went to a one-week board and train at Spot On Dog Training, so she will have free training help sessions (I think 4 per year) for her lifetime! She loves to play with other dogs, go on walks, be with her humans, and sleep/lounge around. She still is very much a puppy in spirit, so she loves to pay and chew on her puppy toys (which is part of our reasoning for needing to re-home her). Our other dog at home has been very un-predictable towards Ava. Ava just wants to play and have fun all the time, but our other dog lashes out at very random times. It is unfair/unsafe to Ava and our other dog has hurt Ava. Unfortunately our other dog needs to be a one dog home. *She is allergic to chicken & beef so we feed sweet potato and salmon dog food and it works great! Easy!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application We don’t know much about what happened to Finley before coming to Mastiffs to Mutts Rescue, but it wasn’t his best life. He was loved at some point, maybe when he was a small, fluffy puppy before he grew into the handsome boy he is now, but he remembers being loved. He remembers and he yearns for the love of a family. He wants to be hugged, he wants to be included, he wants to be cared for and he’s learning that’s possible again. HISTORY: Finley was dumped at an overcrowded shelter in Kentucky and put into a crate too small for him to stand up in. A local foster-based rescue pulled him and spent two months getting to know him and putting some much needed weight on him. When he was strong and healthy they contacted Mastiffs to Mutts Rescue to find him the perfect home. Finley is a one-year-old male Great Dane mix. Due to his age, he is not neutered and will not be until he’s at least eighteen months old. PERSONALITY: Finley is at the most wonderful age; old enough to be house trained and young enough to be a puppy. A 115-pound puppy that is eager to learn. He is happy, calm, friendly, playful and cuddly. He easily goes into his crate to eat and sleep but prefers to be with his housemates, both canine and human. His eyes are expressive, and his “wooooo” will clear up any confusion on how he is feeling. You’ll smile every time you hear it which will make his tail way even harder. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Finley enjoys playing with his Great Dane foster sister followed by a relaxing antler gnawing session or a nap. He really enjoys people and is very curious about anything that’s happening around him. Butt scratches, ear rubs and chilling with his family are also highlights of his day. MEDICAL ISSUES: Finley will need to be neutered at 18 months or after. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Finley looks like an adult, but he is a puppy and needs to be treated and trained as a puppy. He loves dogs of all sizes but he doesn’t read their body language well; he will need a housemate that is comfortable showing him how to be a good dog. He loves to meet new dogs and will immediately ask them to play. Like many big dogs Finley does not know how big he is so would do best in a home with older children and adults that are steady on their feet.Click here to watch a video of Finley.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.
