He can be shy when first meeting new people, but once he feels comfortable, his gentle and affectionate personality begins to shine.

He has experience being around dogs of many sizes and personalities and generally does well, especially with appropriate introductions and clear expectations. He has a solid foundation of training and shows good potential for continued growth. Rhino’s foster mom is actively working with him to build confidence, reinforce structure, and support positive behaviors as he prepares for his forever home. Transition & Training Support To ensure Rhino’s success during adoption, there will be a 4–6 week training and transition period with his foster mom as he moves into his new home. This period is intended to provide continuity, consistency, and guidance during a major life change. The goal is a smooth transition that supports Rhino emotionally and behaviorally while setting clear expectations for long-term success. Adopters should be prepared to participate in this transition process and maintain the routines and training strategies that have already been established. Ideal Home & Adopter Expectations Rhino will thrive in a home that understands large-breed dogs and values structure, patience, and ongoing training.

Fill out an Adoption Application Headliner: Meet June - your soft and fluffy Mastiff who has so much lover to share. She came to us scared and timid but within days she came out of her shell and showed us how wonderful she is and how much she wants her forever family. She is 100% love and affection. In a few short weeks at her foster home she has quickly adapted to her new routine and housemates and has been a joy to have around. Personality: Large, happy, and typical Mastiff. She wants to be with her people and pack.  She is cheerful and full of love and very, very gentle. She has moderate to low drooling which is directly tied to eating, drinking or getting overly excited. She is a gentle giant. She approaches new situations with caution and looks to her people for assurance. She is quick to overcome her hesitations and reacts well to re-direction. She isn’t sketch; just aware and cautious.   Favorite Activities: Being near to her pack, being petted, napping, and going for walks. She likes treats too…she takes them with a very gentle mouth.     Medical: Small lump on her side that is scheduled to be checked otherwise appears in great health.   Best home: Great with kids, adults, and elderly people. She gets along very well with her two house mates - a bossy female Staffordshire terrier and a large and energetic male lab.
