We love our mastiff, but unfortunately we are not able to keep her. We need to find a new home for her ASAP...
Her story:
We purchased Sasha in early August from a family. We were told she is a pure English Mastiff who had turned 1 in June. After we brought her home, we noticed something was off. I took her to the vet who ages her closer to 2-3 (after living with her, she likes bones so we're guessing closer to 2). We also found out she was in an abusive situation, full of infections and very malnourished. She was terrified of males, but doesnt appear to have any problems with them now. When we took her to get spayed we discovered she had been heavily bred. Between the breeding and her nourishment she is a 'mini' mastiff. She is currently about 100 lbs, healthy, happy and as sweet as can be.
Sasha has been around my 1 and 10 year old and loves every min of it. We have received a lot of compliments on how sweet she is with other kids and our cats. She loves to cuddle and go on car rides. She is well trained. She knows sit, stay, how to walk as well as crate and house broken. The only time she is in the cage is when she puts herself in there to sleep or we are not home. (That's when her puppy chewing shows itself)
Finding a great home for her is extremely important and unfortunately I have to have her re homed ASAP. The reason is she is a guardian dog, and takes it to heart. She will attack any dog that growls at us and should be a good thing, but she attacked my brothers 4 mo old puppy the other day for play barking. Sasha is great with other dogs but I would want a home where she is an only dog so accidents don't happen like this again. I talked to the vet who said this is something that can be fixed with training but I am not able to do it. My kids and I love her but our family has too many animals for her to be this unpredictable. Please email me if you would be interested in her. destiny44202@yahoo.com We live in Dayton Ohio
