My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Nico came to us from a Ohio shelter. It is believed that he has been running for months. Grossly underweight his foster is making sure that he is gaining in order for him to be healthy enough to get neutered. Nico is believed to be approximately 5 years old, has beautiful eyes and is seeking a home that his humans can be with him. He does not prefer a crate but to be beside his people. Currently, he is being fostered with an MRI alumni and is getting along fine. Does not seem to have in interest in smaller animals for example, birds and squirrels. If Nico is the guy you would like to open your heart and home to please go to our website at mastino-rescue-inc.org and complete a family profile.

Additional adoption info

Our rescue is breed-specific to the Neapolitan Mastiff, and while this breed is amazingly unique, it is certainly not for everyone. We want to ensure every dog's next home is truly FOREVER, so we are very careful with our placements.

* Due to same sex-aggression being so common among bully breeds, we do not place Neos in homes with another bully breed of the same sex (they must be opposite sex).

* Due to insurance and liability purposes, we do not adopt to families with children under 10-years old living in the home.

* We strongly prefer our adopters to have a secure fenced yard (no electric fences), but we do make a few exceptions.

* You must own your own home (no renters, please).

* Previous guardian breed experience is strongly preferred

We are a foster-based rescue, and our dogs are spread out across the USA, so we do not have adoption events.
