Presenting today: King of the Gravel Pile AND A Boy and His Monkey

She was so exited to be on the loose again. It's been too hot to take long walks, so today we took the most out of it ❤️ She's so sweet and loving, my little Beppie 🥰

I do see why strangers cross the road when they see us coming though 🙈😂

Few Days back, I took in a 4 yrs old Bullmastiff/cane Corso mix ( Chico) from a house where he was badly neglected — no walks, left alone for long stretches in a small balcony, never vaccinated. I didn’t plan on keeping him long-term; my goal was just to get him out of that situation.
He’s not approachable and growls when I try to interact with him. Given the circumstances I’m in, I’m not in a position to work on building trust with him or getting him to the vet myself. I have 3 other dogs but since i m not sure about his behavior and Temperament, I haven’t introduced them with each other.— I just need to get him somewhere safe as soon as possible, ideally with people who have the experience and resources to help him properly.

Before I go the shelter route, wanted to ask:

**•** Are there Bullmastiff/Cane Corso specific rescues that take dogs directly, even ones who are growling/fearful and not vet-checked yet?
**•** Does anyone have experience with rescues that will come pick up a dog like this, rather than requiring the owner to transport or vet him first?
Location : Central Texas, BELL county.

RESCUE CONTACTED.

1)Bullmastiff Rescuers Inc ( awaiting Response)
2)American Bullmastiff Association Rescue ( Only intakes Pure breed, with medical history and many more requirements)
3)Big Dogs Huge Paws ( They don’t take Mastiffs).
4)Great plain Mastiff Rescue. ( Only takes English mastiff)

He didn’t ask for the situation he came from, and I want his next step to be the right one, but I’m not the person who can rehab him. Any guidance would help.

Idk what happened or how it happened, but my baby girl is currently getting stitches for this huge gash on her leg. Thankfully she doesn't seem to be in pain and is walking fine, but this is a $2200 expense I certainly didn't anticipate.

She was fast a sleep 2 seconds ago, as soon as that butter hits the toast she’s there ☀️🤣

Doug the Dogue de Bordeaux is 1 year old and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog. He is great with my family and very protective as I intended. Training is great he is very obedient and follows instructions great. Very confident boy who is still in tact so he can feel a way towards other males but with use of his commands is very good around other dogs. We love snuggle Doug so much. Ps the human he is laying on top of is 6’3”. Doug looks small in pictures but he is a beast
