Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER: Moose HISTORY: Moose came to us very underweight and with marks showing he was locked in a crate with no padding for most of his life. He never had basic training although his foster is working on it, and he is eager to learn. Despite his rough life, Moose is such a love. He is very patient waiting for his food and takes treats very gently from your hand. He loves people, men and women alike. PERSONALITY: Moose is a silly guy that loves showing you how flexible he is by twisting himself into all types of silly positions whether it be sleeping half on and half off the sofa or fully stretched out on his back with paws up in the air. He is very nimble and can jump up on beds or get in the car easily. He loves car rides. He is very friendly and has had no issues meeting the foster's 6’3” college sons nor friends and neighbors. The vet and vet techs all loved him, and he was such a good boy getting blood drawn and getting vaccines. They referred to him as “a real gem”! Moose is gaining weight and has the softest chocolate fur. And he has not shed at all! Vet says he will most likely be 120lbs when he reaches his ideal weight. Moose has separation anxiety and does not like to be left alone at all. Using a crate is not an option given his past. He wants to be with his person, and he will need a patient adopter to help him overcome his anxiety. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Moose loves to chew on toys, go for car rides and take walks. He is getting better on a leash using an easy walk harness but needs continued leash work. Moose has short bursts of energy and then as a typical mastiff, needs a nap. He sleeps at his foster's feet or on the sofa while his foster works from home and is the perfect office companion except for the occasional snoring. MEDICAL ISSUES: Moose is currently being treated for Lyme. He will be neutered and have entropion surgery soon. No ongoing issues. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Moose does not do well left alone. He needs a home where there are people home most of the time and are willing to work on his separation anxiety without using a crate. He also needs basic training and someone who has the patience to teach him manners, but he is willing and eager to learn. Moose is very strong and will need continued leash work. He has improved using the easy walker harness in a short period of time. He just needs someone to train him, and he will be the best companion. Given his needs for training, an experienced dog owner would be best. Moose doesn’t know his size or strength and would do best with a family without young children. He would do great with teens. He loves the car and will want to go wherever you go. Moose did live with another dog, but he has not been him with dogs or other animals. It was recommended that Moose not be allowed around chickens.

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.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER: Izzabella aka Izzy. HISTORY: One owner who did not provide basic medical care so Izzy lived many year with out of control skin issues, ear infections, UTI’s, etc. PERSONALITY: Izzy is a sweet, friendly girl that loves meeting new people and welcoming them into the house. She loves attention and affection and will lean in hard for pets and ear scratches. She tends to spend her days snoozing away but when she gets the zoomies she takes them seriously and this girl can move despite her age. She lives peacefully with a 60lb male mixed breed but is reactive when seeing dogs out on a walk. Izzy is a bit fearful of fireworks and thunderstorms and will sometimes get spooked by loud noises. Izzy likes things to happen on her own personal timeline and can be stubborn when they don’t. She will test limits by whining and carrying on (dancing around, stomping her feet, wagging her tail furiously while staring at you) to try to get her way. She’s learning that those things don’t work in our house but it’s hard not to laugh at her antics. She’ll do it to the other dog in the house too when he’s laying in a bed that she wants. She usually gets her way with the dog. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Napping, soaking up love and attention, laying in the sun MEDICAL ISSUES: With vet care and a quality diet Izzy’s skin issues and ear infections have cleared up and she is no longer a big itchy mess. She did have a mammary tumor removed while being spayed. She is not currently on any medications. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Izzy enjoys hanging out with her people, so a family that spends a lot of time around the house/yard/garden would be great for her. Once integrated with another dog she is very polite and respectful but she definitely needs slow introductions to new dogs.

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Sully Madison’s favorite activities include cuddling, romping, playing, basking in the sun, napping, snuggling, booping at the robo-vac, belly rubs, and zoomies. MEDICAL ISSUES: unaware of any WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: A home where Sully will get lots of love and cuddles. While Sully is crate trained, she prefers not to be in her crate, thus a home where Sully would be accompanied by another canine companion and human or would be with the human most of the day may be best.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER: Bjorn HISTORY: Bjorn was found as a stray in Rochester, NY, and taken to a local animal shelter. Unfortunately, he was never claimed. He spent about three weeks in the shelter before coming to his foster home through Mastiffs to Mutts. PERSONALITY: Bjorn LOVES his people - so much that he wants to be with you all of the time. He is a true velcro dog. Typical of his breed, he is protective of the house and his people and will alert-bark at strangers or new people entering the home. With some treats and reassurance, however, he is able to accept strangers. Bjorn is completely housebroken and non-destructive when left alone. He likes his stuffies and will grab one to show you when you walk through the door. He also enjoys bones and deer antlers. Additionally, Bjorn loves his food! He eagerly sits and waits for a ‘go eat’ before eating. He is respectful of ‘people food’ and will not try to steal yours or counter surf. Bjorn is allowed on the furniture in his foster home and often sleeps in bed with his favorite person. Warning - he snores like a freight train! He comfortably sleeps through the night until it’s time to wake up in the morning. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Bjorn loves being with his people - wherever that might be. He also enjoys spending time exploring the yard with his foster sister, a great dane. Cuddling on the couch at night time is something that Bjorn looks forward to the most, and he thinks he is a lap dog! MEDICAL ISSUES: N/A WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Bjorn would do best is a home with mastiff experience who understands the slight reactivity to strangers. Because of this, older children would be recommended. He would love to live with another canine, as well!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER: Tina (aka Carter) HISTORY: Owner surrendered to shelter after being locked in a barn stall with other dogs for unknown amount of time. Tina shows signs of physical abuse by previous owner who was an elderly man. PERSONALITY: Tina is the kind, soft and adoring. She is the perfect best friend with the most beautiful eyes and loving gaze. She’s cautious in new situations and can spook with fast movements. Loud voices trigger a fear response in her and she will drop to the floor and try to disappear. If you grab something quickly she will drop her head and squint and brace for impact. Her fear of being hit has diminished to almost nothing at this point as she was very willing to trust us. Tina is quiet as a mouse unless she hears an unusual noise outside, she will alarm bark once or twice making her an excellent guardian. Tina is perfectly house trained, doesn’t need a crate, sits/waits for food and to be leashed and go outside. Her manners are impeccable. She walks perfectly on leash. She greets you with a thumping tail and a big yawn and a sweet little prance. She has the cutest zoomies after she goes potty outside! Because of her past she shows scars on her face from probable dog fights. She is not interested in living with another dog, however she loves puppies. Tina had a litter of 4 and 3 passed away. She was a wonderful caring mom. She just doesn’t want to be forced to interact with another adult dog. She also isn’t a good candidate for cats, she wants to smash them unfortunately. Tina is the most perfect textbook example of a Mastiff. She’s 175lbs of love, adoration, snuggles, drool, and deeply devoted. Her life has been so tragic and harsh but she has been so trusting and loving towards her foster parents. Tina is quietly protective of her person, she has put herself between her foster mom and big scary horse that she wasn’t sure of, gently pushing her person away and sitting in front to keep an eye on the suspicious animal. She hops around joyfully every time we come in her room, play bites so gently and plants her giant head on your lap any chance she gets. This is a snuggle, snack and nap kind of girl. She loves toys and nurses her stuffed toys like a baby. Tina is someone’s once in a lifetime dog. She is the kind of dog you hope for and never forget. The perfect partner and very best friend you could ever have. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Snacks, big belly rubs, wallering her favorite person, naps, gnawing bones, hopping like a deer in the yard, being talked to like your teenage BFF (she loves gossip) and gets scratches on the soft spot behind her right ear. MEDICAL ISSUES: none WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Tina’s new best friend should have a comfy low couch with pillows and lots of time to spend chatting with her. She is very engaged. No other pets please, but this doesn’t make her a mean dog. Honestly who needs another one when Tina is the whole package anyway?! A fenced yard isn’t necessary but she has to be on a leash when outside as she will chase a cat or squirrels. Big kids would be just fine. We have no way to know how she would be with very young children but loud voices and quick movements are scary at first so best not to put her in that position. Mostly we want someone who can see what a perfect gift she is and adore her as much as she will adore that person.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER: Otis is a 2 1⁄2 year old, who is still learning to be a dog. He is very loving with his humans and likes to play and romp with the other dogs. HISTORY: Otis was given up by the family that had him since a puppy due to anxiety issues. In his short time with us he has overcome much of the anxiety although we do keep him on 2mg of Xanax daily (down from 4mg). Otis wants to protect his people so he has “bum-rushed” visitors at times which can seem scary but no bites of any kind have been encountered. It was these behaviors that caused his family to give him up. That said he was also kept in a crate 10 hours per day. PERSONALITY: Sweet, lovable, and definitely a good boy who loves his people. Otis loves attention and is learning to be “gentle” when taking snacks. He has come far in the short time he has been with his foster family. Learning to not listen and behave well with the other dogs when snacks are being handed out. Otis loves the big backyard where he can hang out with his fur buddies and romp and play. Otis does not want to be in a crate whatsoever and is good when left alone in the house. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Otis likes to play and mouth box with the other big dogs and does well with the small dogs as well. MEDICAL ISSUES: None known WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Otis needs a home that can continue to show him love and patience and provide ongoing routine and training. He has a beautiful soul and likes Popeye Candy sticks whenever he can get his foster Mom to give him one or two. A large carrot in the morning is a great snack and he eats veggies and fruit with dinner or for a snack each day. Otis will need a home where he is not crated and can have people home with him most of the day. I do not recommend small children as he is still learning and needs guidance. He is fine with our grandsons but I would not put that pressure on him on a daily basis.

Story
Meet Mermaid Man! This young guy came to us along with his siblings, Barnacle Boy and Bikini, as strays. It seems that Mermaid Man and his littermates were likely dumped, the unfortunate result of backyard breeding and irresponsible pet ownership. Mermaid Man is the most confident and outgoing sibling, always helping show his siblings that the world isn't so scary! Though this boy would benefit from help catching up on the socialization and training he's missed out on so far, he's a happy go lucky guy that doesn't let his past get him down. Mermaid Man may be quite large, but he is just a puppy and as with any puppy he will need to be taught things like potty training and leash manners. If you have other animals at home we recommend bringing them in for a meet and greet before taking Mermaid Man home. If you are interested in meeting with Mermaid Man, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit.

Adopting a Bullmastiff

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Bullmastiff - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt a Bullmastiff at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost to adopt a Bullmastiff is around $100 to $500 or more in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. These fees usually cover expenses such as vaccinations, spaying or neutering, microchipping, and any necessary medical treatments or surgeries.

In contrast, buying a Bullmastiff puppy from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. A pet-quality Bullmastiff puppy from a reputable breeder usually costs anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 or more.

The easiest way to adopt a Bullmastiff is through a rescue that specializes in Bullmastiffs. A great place to start is starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Bullmastiffs and Bullmastiff mixes in your area.

Bullmastiff fun facts

Fun Facts:

The Bullmastiff was originally used as a gamekeeper's assistant. Gamekeepers (estate guardians) were hired to oversee the game on massive estates, and Bullmastiffs were used to track and tackle the poachers.

Oil tycoon John. D. Rockefeller is to thank for importing Bullmastiffs to the United States in the 1920s.

Bullmastiffs were trained not to bark or bite, so their reputation as vicious attack dogs are complete falsehoods. They were trained to be able to quietly track and hold down poachers.
