Mastiff puppies and dogs in Hartford, Connecticut

Hi, I’m Luke, and I’m a big, lovable boy tipping the scales at just over 100 lbs! Don’t let my size fool you—I’m a happy, easygoing pup who just wants to play, explore, and cuddle. I’m all about the good things in life: squeaky toys, water play, long walks, and best of all—snuggle time on the couch. I’m a pro at giving hugs (though I’m working on not jumping up too hard to give them—oops!). I get along great with other dogs and kids, but because of my size and enthusiasm, I’d do best with older children who won’t get accidentally knocked over during playtime. I’m crate trained, housebroken, and walk nicely on a leash—unless there’s a squirrel… then it’s game on! I do have a slight prey drive, so a little guidance goes a long way. If you’re looking for a big-hearted, playful companion to fill your home with love (and maybe take up some space on your couch), I’m your guy. Let’s make forever happen! 🐾 Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Meet Wendell! 💛 Wendell is a 6-year-old Mastiff mix with a heart as big as his 75-pound frame! This gentle giant was taken in as a stray at just 7 months old and has spent the last several years living peacefully in a home with 15 other dogs of all ages and sizes. He’s truly a pack-friendly boy who gets along with everyone. Unfortunately, his owner had to downsize her dog family, so Wendell came to us. From the moment we met him, it was clear—this boy is pure love! 🥰 He’s chill, affectionate, housebroken, and oh-so-sweet. Wendell absolutely aced his temperament test and showed us just how easygoing and wonderful he is. If you’re looking for a loyal, laid-back companion who will fit right in with your family, Wendell is your guy! This handsome hunk of love is ready to give his heart to a forever home. 🐾 Housebroken 🐾 Dog-friendly with all shapes and sizes 🐾 Big, gentle, and so loving 🐾 Perfect family dog

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!!

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?

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?

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?

KERRI is a precious 70# sweetheart. She is 2 years old. Kerri was found in Memphis, TN with her babies. She loves being with people and riding in car. Loves toys. She is leash and crate trained. Karrie is laid back and wants to please. She’s smile and knows sit and will high five for a treat. Karrie is quiet and doesn’t bank a lot. Very smart and a quick learner. Loves nighty brushing and rolls on her back for love of tummy rubs. I’m her foster mom and can go on for days bragging on her. FaceTime, email or phone conversations if you want more information on Karrie ! Fully vetted including spay, rabies, 4dx heartworm test (neg), all vaccinations and preventatives. KERRI had a rough time until her rescue get her and babies safe. Sure it was really hard trying to care for them when she was a stray. Kerri deserves the very best of homes! She certainly has earned it. KERRI is currently located in Jackson, TN. Please contact Lisa at oatsvall973@yahoo.com Transport out of state can be arranged for an additional cost of $185 ... which will include is health cert for travel.

PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.Johnny I dont know if I've ever seen a more beautiful dog. Johnny is a Neapolitan Mastiff (possibly mixed?) who is about 2 years old and weighs 120 lbs. He is the sweetest, big slobbery dummy! He thinks hes a 10 lb baby and wants to sit on your lap. He is super friendly with everyone he meets, but he has no idea how big he is, so probably wouldnt be the best choice for a family with toddler size humans. He is so kind hearted and wouldn't dream of hurting anyone on purpose. Hes just big and clumsy and hasn't had any training. We are gonna work on the training part as soon as he recovers from his neuter surgery, which was done today. Johnny was found as a starving stray in Arkansas. His stray hold is long over and no one ever came forward to claim him. He had no ID and no microchip. His rescue photo, which shows the condition he was in, is attached. He holds no grudges for his past neglect and hardships. He loves and trusts everyone. Since coming into rescue, he hasn't been introduced to many other dogs, but the limited exposure he has had was positive anf he gave no indication of aggression. We will be exploring that more now that he is neutered. I believe with proper introduction, he will do fine with other non aggressive dogs. Johnny was fully vetted today and thankfully he tested negative for heartworms. He does have the very loose skin typical of Neo Mastiffs, which may require surgery later in life. As of now, our vet didn't feel it was necessary. His eyelids droop but they don't cover his eyes and he is fully visual. But as he ages, this may need to be revisited. Johnny is definitely one of a kind, and he is not a dog that is found in rescue very often. I hope he will get adopted quickly so he can start to get adjusted to his new life and family of his own. Hes a total catch!Johnny is located in Arkansas. He can be adopted locally, but transport is available to the New England area as well. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them in PA, NY, or CT on Saturdays.
