Mastiff and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Tulip is a 10-month-old black Mastiff/Lab mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality. She came to the shelter as a stray alongside four other dogs, but it didn’t take long for her to stand out as the most social and people-loving of the group.

Already over 50 pounds and still growing, Tulip is going to be a large, strong companion. She thrives around other dogs and would do wonderfully in a home with a canine friend to play with. However, her natural curiosity and prey drive mean she would likely chase cats, so a cat-free home is recommended.

Tulip is sweet, affectionate, and eager to connect, but she’s still learning her manners—especially on a leash. With consistent training and guidance, she has all the potential to become an incredible, well-rounded companion.

Because of her size, strength, and breed mix, prior experience with large or Mastiff-type dogs is required to ensure she continues to grow into her best self.

Tulip is ready to find a loving home that will give her the structure, patience, and affection she deserves. Applications are now being accepted for this beautiful girl—could she be your perfect match?
