Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER: Konik earns his name any time he meets a human; he is a licker. He is also a cuddler and a lap dog. He loves all humans and is great with dogs of all sizes. He is being fostered on a farm with four other dogs ranging from 20 to 130 pounds and does fine with them all. His best friend is a Great Dane who he loves to play chase and keep away with. They will play outside then curl up on the couch together for a good, long nap. HISTORY: Konik was found as a stray by three teenagers. Each boy took him home but was told no by the parents. Thankfully the third boy’s grandma took Konik to the local dog shelter who reached out to find a rescue for him. PERSONALITY: Konik has the sweetest personality. Just an absolute cuddle bug. He is young, playful, well-behaved and eager to please. He does not have a prey drive and doesn’t show any aggression. He has met outside cats and is curious; he will chase but in play not to harm. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Konik loves toys, especially chew toys. He’ll play keep away and tug of war, but he also plays quietly by himself. He loves to romp and play outside with his Great Dane friend then nap for a few hours on a couch. He also loves to be around people. Going to the kitchen? He’ll tag along. Going to the bathroom? Well obviously, you need company. MEDICAL ISSUES: None. He’s been neutered is UTD on vaccines, is heart worm negative and on preventative WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Konik just wants to be loved. He’s great with other dogs but is just as happy hanging with the humans and he’s great with kids. He just lights up around children. Konik is young, athletic and needs to know where his family is. He can clear a baby gate or a 5’ fence so needs to be on a leash or watched while he’s learning his new surroundings. He is a smart dog and learns quickly. Once taught he will respect gates and boundaries. Application Fees, Adoption Donations and Rescue Policy: Please know that 100% of our fees and donations pay for the costs of rescuing dogs. These include but are not limited to pull fees from shelters, veterinary examinations, vaccinations, medications and care, microchips, neuter/spay surgeries, heartworm treatments, behavior evaluations, and foster care, as needed. **Puppy Adoption Policy: To ensure proper house training and socialization, puppies will only be adopted to homes where an adult will not be away more than an hour per day, per month of age of the puppy, up to 6 months. Adopters will be required to enroll the puppy into training and provide proof to Mastiffs To Mutts Rescue within 6 months of adopting. Certain large-breed dogs should not be sterilized before 12 - 18 months of age. If you adopt an intact puppy, you will sign an adoption contract agreeing to have the dog sterilized at your expense at the time your veterinarian recommends. Proof of sterilization must be provided to Mastiffs To Mutts Rescue as soon as the procedure is completed. If the puppy is not sterilized as required, Mastiffs To Mutts Rescue reserves the right to claim legal ownership of the dog. Important notes before applying. Adopters must have their primary residence in one of the following states: Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, and parts of North Carolina. We will not adopt giant breed dogs to renters. Homes with children under 6 years of age will not be approved for adoption. Homes with children should have a fenced yard. Pets currently in the applicant's home must have a history of appropriate veterinary care. Homes with intact dogs will not be approved for adoption. Proof of any of the following exceptions is required: The intact dog is a working member of a law enforcement, or search and rescue/recovery team. The intact dog is registered under the auspices of the American Kennel Club and is actively being shown. A veterinarian has determined the sterilization procedure would harm the intact dog. We believe in Force Free Training Methods and do not approve of methods or devices using pain or force to control the dog, or to deter undesirable behavior. Homes with highly varnished steps must have carpeting, securely fixed stair treads, or a non-skid surface. **We encourage you to remediate potential safety issues while your application is under review, prior to the home visit.
