Neapolitan Mastiff puppies and dogs in Hartford, Connecticut

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. To apply, please fill out the adoption app: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059 Message us or email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350.

Meet Misty! She's a smart lady who is smart as a whip! She's crate trained, mastered many commands (sit, down, off, mat, enough, go to your room, here, all done- more than most kids :). She loves to run, play fetch and be wherever you are! She's a year and a half old, and was lucky enough to have professional training donated to help her find her forever home. Whoever adopts her will receive at least one free hand off session from her trainer to help her transition go perfectly! Her ideal family would be somewhat active (she needs to run around a yard at least a few times per day). She gets along well with other dogs, but calmer dogs are best. Misty loves to play, but she can get very excited if the other dog is too energetic! She would do well with older children. Younger children and cats would require a lot of supervision. Her trainer thinks she would be a great agility dog, but she is smart enough to do anything you want to train her to do! She will require some active parenting to teach her the rules of your house, because she is so smart, she may try to make her own activities if nothing fun is provided! She's potty trained now (we had some overnight accidents until she started going in her crate at night). She's a great dog with a good head on her shoulders, and she wants to know if you are the one for her! $200 In State Adoption Fee (in Texas) $400 Out of State Fee (includes Transportation to your area) $50 Temporary fuel surcharge.

This cutie is Heath Bar. He is currently 3 months old and weighs approximately 17 pounds. We think they may be a Great Dane/ German Shepherd mix*, but with rescue it’s a guess! What matters most is that they are adorable and are one the MOST desperate in the entire US based on statistics for where this puppy is from. Shelters in this area are having to euthanize puppies. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from us, it saves their life as well as the life of another in its place. Watch Heath Bar's playful personality here: https://youtu.be/uoTU2BUsXp8?si=X2dY6K-O8OTvgEPw Heath Bar is playful, sweet, curious, and cuddly. He loves to play with his siblings and take lots of naps. Eat, sleep, play, repeat- such is puppy life! We pride ourselves in being able to give you good personality and behavioral information to help ensure this baby is the right fit for you. You are also welcome to do a Facetime call to meet your new baby before signing paperwork! Heath is still very young and will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. A puppy is discovering new things that shape their personalities with each passing day. Implementing routine, structure, setting boundaries, and proper socialization is key from the start. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy starting immediately when arriving at their new home, which will help with potty training, energy management, and the overall development of a well-rounded adult dog. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
