We will be very slowly and selectively taking dogs into rescue again.

As before we will follow our original protocols. Please do not message me to take in dogs with bite histories, severe cases of aggression, or puppy mill rescues in which we have to pay the millers to “save” their dogs.

We are a purebred Mastiff Breed Rescue, these are the only breeds we will accept.

**CROSSPOSTING FOR A FRIEND/Fellow Trainer**
Amavi is still looking for her perfect home. She is spayed, has her rabies shot, and is microchipped. She comes with a kennel, collar, leash, and a couple toys. She is best guessed to be around 3 years old. 45-50lb cute little bully breed mix. I have been fostering her since last fall and would love to find her a family of her own. Dog selective but seems to be getting better and better with the animals around here. SLOW intros are best as she’s pretty socially dominant with dogs.

The ideal home:
- no small children, she tends to jump and move quickly.
- only dog or live with another lower energy dog that won’t be too pushy with her.
- cats are okay as long as she’s supervised. I’d never leave a dog unattended with a small animal in general.
- younger more active home. This girl lovesssss to play tug, fetch, and frisbee and would definitely be someone’s best hiking buddy. Would be a really fun beginner sport dog for barn hunt, agility, disc, or other similar sports, but is always down to cuddle and take a nap.
- ideally she’d be the star of someone’s show and really craves individual time and attention but does really well in the crate.

I’m just asking for a good, responsible home!

Message me any and all questions:) more pictures and videos upon request.
Please do not message me unless you have read the whole ad please 🙂

Will also be driving to MN/ND beginning of July again.

Raleigh area but often drive to Jacksonville area.

Plz share🥲🖤

Good morning everyone. I just wanted to say how sorry I am that we have not gotten back to anyone in the past several months via PM and messages and tags. This account was hacked and the password was changed by a former volunteer who refused to give us access to the account. After many many months we were finally able to gain access back. I cannot imagine how many dogs we could have helped during this time. Please feel free to reach out. I am going thru messages trying to respond to everyone now that has been left unanswered for months on end…

Thank you all for your support!!!

-Paula

Happy FIFTEENTH Birthday to my heart and soul 🎉🎉 A month ago I would’ve told you he wasn’t going to see 15, but in usual Rocky fashion he proved me wrong. Not only is he turning 15, today marks 5 years since he got his freedom ride from NYC to Kentucky. I was originally supposed to just be a transport volunteer 🤣 I knew as soon as I met him he was home with me. A month after arriving we got the cancer diagnosis, and he’s beaten all of those odds as well! There aren’t words to describe how incredible this boy is, and I’m forever thankful to everyone who made his Rescue possible ❤️❤️❤️ Celebrating today filled with love, treats and toys!

Rocky was rescued from death row at NYCACC in October of 2014
