Mastiff puppies and dogs in Connecticut

Meet Lady Rose— the Queen of Cuddles and Couch Time! 👑 If you’re looking for the world’s sweetest, most smooshable, big-headed lovebug… you’ve found her! Lady is a 3-year-old mastiff mix with the softest soul and the cutest little white “shoes” you’ve ever seen. She’s equal parts gentle couch potato and goofy best friend — basically a perfect mix of chill and charm. Lady LOVES her people and will happily lean right into you for snuggles, belly rubs, or just to remind you that she’s there. She’s the kind of dog who rolls over for pets, politely asks for more, and then melts into your lap (yes, she’s convinced she’s lap-sized). She has perfected the art of leaning her whole body into you just to make sure you know she loves you. She’s not pushy about it either — she’ll politely ask for affection, and when you stop, she gives you the saddest “but why did you stop petting me?” look until your heart melts and you start again. She loves to roll over for belly rubs, and if she could, she’d spend all day like that. Watch Lady Rose in action in her video! https://youtu.be/CrIBB0RQicA?si=iQAFu6ekTYtBx0sT This big girl is a total dream on leash — she walks right beside you like she’s done it a million times before, checking in often with a little look that says, “Am I doing good?” (Spoiler: she’s always doing good.) She’s super easy to handle and loves meeting new people. In fact, she’s never met a stranger — she walks right up to everyone she meets, wiggles, leans in for pets, and wins hearts instantly. Lady is also amazing with kiddos — she knows to be extra gentle, doesn’t jump, and melts when little hands reach for her. She’s the kind of dog that makes people say, “Wow, she’s such a good girl,” about ten times in a row. When it comes to other dogs, Lady has what we call “queen energy.” She’s calm, polite, and a little bit aloof — she doesn’t need to be the center of the dog party, but she’ll happily hang out in the same space as long as everyone’s being respectful. She’s met a few dogs in playgroups and usually prefers to wander around and mind her business (unless someone gets a little too bouncy in her face — then she’ll give them a tiny “hey, personal space please” and go back to her stroll). She’d do best with another laid-back, mellow dog who won’t pester her for playtime — or she’d be perfectly happy being the only royalty in the house! And let’s talk about kitties — Lady met one and was a total lady about it! She was curious but cautious, gave a sniff or two, and then politely backed off when the kitty didn’t seem interested. She’s got great manners and would do just fine sharing her castle with a feline friend who appreciates her calm energy. At home, Lady is pure cozy vibes. She’s low-energy and would rather nap next to you than run around. She’s the ultimate couch potato. She’s all about comfort, love, and being close to her people. Lady would do amazing in a home or apartment with someone who wants a snuggle buddy, walking companion, and best friend all rolled into one big, sweet, smooshy face. She’s affectionate, gentle, and ready to fill your life with calm, goofy joy. So if you’ve been dreaming of a big-headed, soft-hearted, nap-loving, people-adoring, kid-snuggling, dog-tolerating, cat-respecting queen to rule your heart, Lady Rose is your gal!!

Bella has been a faithful companion for over a decade, sharing her days with quiet moments, almost unstoppable playfulness, and unwavering affection. She’s the kind of dog who still lights up at the chance to play, yet is just as happy sitting close by, enjoying gentle attention and company. Time may have taken a toll on her bod, but it hasn’t slowed her spirit one bit! Bella carries the heart of a puppy in an older body. She is loving, loyal, and always ready to be near her people. Unfortunately, due to her owner developing serious allergies around her now, Bella is now looking for a new home. She would thrive with someone who understands the value of an older dog: one who still has plenty of love and energy to give, and who asks only for patience, kindness, and a place to belong.

Yogi says if you buy the toys, he will bring the love! Let’s get right to the key details about Yogi’s favorite things in the world. In no particular order-people, toys, and affection - sometimes all at once. If you are familiar with the breed, so much of him will be so familiar! Take a look at his video to catch those signature mastiff- like moves then come back to read more about him. https://youtu.be/ghHJi5U86No Yogi is so fortunate and is fostered in a dedicated home with a professional dog trainer- lucky him, lucky you! His foster has fallen in love with him and praises his enthusiasm for learning and contagious fun-loving nature. Yogi is estimated to be right around 1 year-old. Likely a Mastiff mix (take one look and tell me you don’t see it) and he weighs a healthy 103 lbs. That weight is equal parts strength, sweetness, and silly puppy energy. This boy is affectionate to his core and when he loves you, he really loves you, like the type of dog who will flop his full weight into your lap or throw himself across your legs for belly rubs. Lap-dog life choose him, plain and simple. Because of that eagerness, and sheer size, he needs a confident handler who understands how to set and maintain boundaries. He listens well to calm, assertive leadership and is learning “drop it” and “leave it” beautifully with his foster/trainer. Yogi’s trainability is on display when you see him on-leash. If you’re anything like me, there is nothing more physically empowering than walking a giant dog calmly and with full control. Yogi will meet you half way on that if you share that sentiment. He walks well on leash, keeps an easy pace, and is responsive to his handler. Of course given all training is on-going, he will need continued reinforcement to keep improving his focus no matter what he encounters while on a walk. Yogi’s love of toys, and shared play with them like tug-of-war, can lead to him getting over-stimulate which can lead to him getting vocal and a little mouthy. He is not coming from a negative place but he is working on this because it can be easily misunderstood as negative behavior. He is responding wonderfully to consistent structure, strong sense of commands and clear communication from his handler. Yogi’s love for toys is deep and true and because of his size, his ideal home will be one without small children and either as an only dog or paired with a confident, easy-going female who isn’t toy-obsessed. He’s met other dogs and does well with calm companions who give him space to relax and just be his goofy, briefly-bouncy, oversized self. True to the Mastiff spirit, Yogi is loyal, smart, and sensitive. He wants to please his person and thrives with routine, patience, and love. He is both house and crate-trained, goes into his kennel on command, and knows “sit” and “leave it” like a pro. He would do best in a home (not an apartment) where he can stretch those big legs and cool off indoors after a short romp- aka not Texas. The Texas heat is not his favorite! If you’ve been looking for a big, soulful sidekick, one who is as huggable as he is striking, Yogi is ready to deliver! This carnival-prize-teddy-bear-dog is going to make an incredible lifelong companion! Ready to welcome Yogi home?

This sweet girl is Xena! When you first meet her, you’ll realize that she’s two things: gorgeous, number one of course,then you’ll realize how gentle she is. Xena is not the smallest girl in the bunch, however, she is the most calm and laid-back—almost to the point where you will forget she’s there. You can often find her and her doggie bed or on the couch. Those are her happy places. well, anywhere she can lay down is really a happy place for her. If you can’t find her in those two places, you can most likely find her outside sunbathing while her friends romp around in the grass. Life with her is simple and sweet— just as it should be! Watch Xena and get to know her endearing self right here! https://youtu.be/Tw_C3T6JvQg?si=r1DB-Q_90B07U1Zc We believe that Xena is a mix between a mastiff and a Staffordshire terrier. We believe she is around 5 years old! With rescue this is just a guess. However, one thing that we can promise? Lots of love and snuggles in your future. Xena is a gorgeous fawn color with the sweetest droopy puppy dog eyes looking up at you like “are you gonna give me a treat or what?!” She’s a thick girl that’s not running any marathons, but she can promise you that she will be the best snuggle bug in the house. Her Foster’s children love to tuck her in and make her a little burrito in her blankies. She would be the perfect family dog for a family that loves to relax and sit outside having many backyard barbecue nights and morning coffee in the rocking chairs. I could see Xena happily sitting outside with you watching you garden and water the flowers. Xena would really be happy observing anything as long as she gets to lay down. She’s hilarious. But don’t think she’s all naps— Xena enjoys a good trip to the local park where she can watch the kids play and get her exercise in. The best part about going to the park is obviously all the compliments that she receives. “Oh she’s so beautiful!” “What’s her name? She’s gorgeous!” “Xena you are so calm!” Etc. Xena is extremely dog friendly living with four other foster dogs. She gets along well with everyone. she loves to do her own thing at the end of the day. If the other doggies have zoomies, she’ll happily watch them and cheer them on. She greets everyone with a gentle sniff and then she’s on her way to go say hi to the next doggie friend. We think that Xena could fit into really any chill pack because she gets along well with both male and females. Xena’s perfect partner? A chill older pup like herself who enjoys movie nights and couch cuddle puddles. Xena would love a backyard, but one is not required. She is easy as pie on leash and she would love to go on a walk around the apartment complex if that’s what she needed. I could totally see her happily, watching everyone from a balcony taking in the world around her. Her larger size may make her more of a candidate for a house with the backyard, especially because she’s not built for lots of exercise. Lol. We have not seen her with any kitty cats just yet, but we are happy to test her with whatever you may need. Just say the word! Does Xena sound like your girl?

Welcome Pocket to CCPAL Rescue. Pocket is a 4.5 month old Mastiff/Great Pyrenees. Pocket is extremely affectionate and stunningly beautiful. This whole litter is soft, cuddly and affectionate. Pocket would be great with a family with children. This dog has guardian breed, and would be a great family dog. She would be wonderful for a family with a dad that travels and wants to see his family has a dog that will watch out for them. Yeti went to a family with younger children and he is doing great. This is Pocket’s brother. We prefer children to be 8 or older. She should be 60 pounds full grown. She likes water, decent on a leash and area trained. She will go on a potty pad. She is good with other dogs bigger than herself. Her dad is a Dogo and mom is a Great Pyrenees. She is energetic but can calm down and be extremely cuddly and affectionate. She has a soft coat and not a huge shedding dog. She has shorter hair a little more like the DOGO dad. This breed is a guardian breed family even though she shows no signs of guarding anything at the moment. She is getting his vaccinations and will be ready for her forever home soon. She is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont and all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is $600 and transport is $200. This is a very desirable breed. Please be patient when you put in your application. We are being very careful in vetting people and we are a small group of volunteers. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.
