Mastiff puppies and dogs in Genoa, Illinois

Nell - Female Mastiff/Terrier Mix (Breed and size at full growth are best guess only) Date of Birth 8/21/26 Hello!  My name is Nell.  I am a beautiful, soft, mixed breed puppy filled with love, affection, and playfulness.  I enjoy playing with my puppy sister and initiate play with my foster’s dog.  I love playing with kids as well but can nip because I’m a puppy.  I am curious, playful, and energetic.  I enjoy chewing on bones, tugging with my puppy sister on a rope toy, running around the backyard, and exploring.  I am very affectionate and love to be by humans.  When I am not playing, I enjoy cuddling up for a nap.  I am doing very well with potty training and will let my foster parents know when I need to go outside.  I am smart and loving. For puppies this young they will need someone home most of the day (not to be left more then 2-3 hours per day) due to potty training. All of them are doing very well being let out every 2 hours.

🐾 Meet Mia Bella! 💕 Mia Bella is a beautiful 2-year-old Boxer/Mastiff mix weighing 66 pounds. This sweet girl came to Anderson Humane from a partner shelter in Louisiana alongside her nine puppies. After dedicating herself to motherhood, it's finally Mia Bella's turn to enjoy life, let her personality shine, and find the loving forever home she deserves! ❤️ Mia Bella has made incredible strides in her confidence and has blossomed into such a sweet, affectionate, and playful girl! She's even found her voice and occasionally greets the neighbors with her adorable little "woo-woos!" 🥰 While she may need a little time to warm up to new people and dogs, she's an overall social and friendly lady. Once she gets to know you, she remembers you and will happily greet you with excitement and affection! If there's one thing Mia Bella loves most, it's being close to her people. She's a total snuggle bug who enjoys soaking up attention and spending quality time with her favorite humans. But don't let her cuddly side fool you—this girl knows how to have fun! She loves picking out toys from her toy box and proudly prancing around the house to show off her treasures. Balls and bones are some of her favorites, although soft toys don't stand much of a chance against her enthusiasm! She's a smart girl who understands which items are hers to play with and which are off-limits. Now that her puppies are grown, Mia Bella is embracing her playful side and enjoying some well-deserved fun of her own! She loves going on long walks, exploring her surroundings, and getting some one-on-one playtime with her people. A little rain won't stop this adventurous girl from enjoying her walks, either! 🌧️🐾 After she's had a chance to stretch her legs and burn off some energy, she's more than happy to settle in for some snuggles. Mia Bella is also one smart cookie! She's crate-trained, potty-trained, and does wonderfully relaxing in her crate while her foster is at work. She knows several commands, including sit, stay, and come, and is a great listener. Her adorable wrinkly face only adds to her charm! The one thing she hasn't quite mastered? Posing for pictures! 📸 Mia Bella would much rather run over to the photographer for some attention than sit still for the perfect shot. Luckily, she's absolutely adorable from every angle! Mia Bella has come such a long way, and it's been wonderful watching her confidence and playful personality blossom. She's ready for a family who will continue encouraging her, give her plenty of love and attention, and enjoy all the silly, sweet moments she has to offer. After being such a wonderful mama to her nine puppies, it's finally Mia Bella's turn to be someone's baby! 💕 Could you be the one to give this special girl her happily ever after? When Mia Bella arrived at Anderson Animal Shelter, she tested positive for Heartworm. The staff believes that the best place for Heartworm-positive dogs like Mia Bella to recover and complete treatment is in a loving forever home. If you choose to adopt Mia Bella, our clinic staff will support you every step of the way by answering questions and providing guidance throughout her treatment. The process generally takes about three months and involves some simple at-home care to help keep her safe while she recovers. The final step is a follow-up test six months after treatment begins. The Heartworm treatment process is highly successful, and the staff anticipates that Mia Bella will make a full recovery! It's also important to know that Heartworm can only be transmitted from animal to animal through mosquito bites. If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate companion with lots of love to give, Mia Bella is ready to meet you! Stop in and meet my cute self in person during our adoption hours. For more information, email info@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 0, and the staff will be happy to help you. All of our dogs and puppies go home spayed or neutered, microchipped, and heartworm tested (for dogs 7 months and older). They are also up to date on core vaccines, as well as heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Each adoption includes a 3.5-pound bag of dog or puppy food and a free vet exam at one of our participating veterinary partners.

Meet Sam! Sam is a very handsome pup, estimated at about 3 years old. He’s thought to be a Mastiff Mix, but, rather small for the breed. Sadly, Sam found himself at an overcrowded noisy animal control facility down south. He deserves a forever home and family of his own, and we want to help him get there!! This precious pup absolutely loves people and is good with older kids who are respectful of dogs. We expect he is good with lower energy dogs. Dogs who are too active might scare him and cause him to react. Sam absolutely loves belly rubs, and treats too! He's a little rough around the edges in terms of training but clearly is eager to learn. Sam is in overall good physical shape however he does have some vision issues causing him to sometimes miss things coming his way….this is why we expect he’d be scared by higher energy dogs, and high-activity youngsters. Sam is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative and on preventative. We would still like to get Sam to an eye specialist for a comprehensive examination of his eyes/vision. If you’d like to add Sam to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895.

Hi, I’m Tiger! Guess who officially made it from California to Illinois? ME! I’m a young, handsome boy with a sweet personality, plenty of energy, and a whole lot of excitement for everything life has to offer! I’m friendly, affectionate, and always ready for something fun. Going for a walk? Count me in! Exploring somewhere new? Even better! Playing outside? Now you're speaking my language! I'm an active guy who would love a family that enjoys getting out and doing things together. I'm looking for people who will keep me moving, help me continue learning, and give me the structure and attention a young, energetic dog needs. I have so much potential, and I'd love someone who wants to help me become the best boy I can be. I've already made the big trip from California to Illinois, and now I'm hoping my next adventure is the one that takes me home. I've got the energy, the sweet personality, and the enthusiasm. All I'm missing is my adventure buddy. ##2313590##

Hi, I’m Toothless! Guess who officially made it from California to Illinois? ME! I’m a young Mastiff/Belgian Malinois mix with a big personality, a whole lot of energy, and enough goofiness to keep you laughing every single day. I may be named Toothless, but I promise there’s nothing missing from my personality! I’m a super sweet, confident boy who loves having something to do. Walks? Count me in! Adventures? Absolutely! Learning new things? Even better! I’m the kind of dog who wants to be part of the action, whether we’re exploring somewhere new, practicing commands, or playing together. And here's something my future family will appreciate: I'm already crate-trained, potty-trained, and know basic commands! I'm a smart boy who has a great foundation, and I'd love to keep learning with someone who enjoys training as much as I do. With my Mastiff strength and Belgian Malinois intelligence, I'm looking for an active family who understands the importance of exercise, structure, and consistency. I'm strong, energetic, and still young, so having someone committed to helping me continue growing into a well-mannered adult is important. I've already traveled all the way from California to Illinois for my second chance. Now I'm hoping the next trip I take is straight to my forever home. I have so much personality, so much potential, and so much love to give the right family. I'm Toothless. Big muscles, big brain, big goofy heart. Illinois, I'm here! Now who's taking me home? ##2313604##
