Mastiff Dogs Available for Adoption

Mama Heather is a resilient, gentle giant who has truly earned her retirement. Found giving birth in the freezing cold, Heather endured the unimaginable to protect her nine puppies. Despite the loss of four babies and one survivor’s struggle with frostbite, a kind neighbor intervened to bring Heather into the warmth of rescue. Since then, she has traded the elements for a deep love of couches and her people.

Now that all her babies have found their forever homes, it is finally Heather’s turn to be cherished. She is a sweet, slightly goofy Mastiff mix with expressive eyes and a heart of gold. Heather is incredibly people-focused and will often offer you a gentle paw when she wants attention. She even has a silly habit of "collecting" shoes to keep near her while she naps. This kind, patient soul is looking for a family with plenty of room to stretch out and even more love to give. After everything she’s been through, Mama Heather is ready to be the center of someone’s world.

Currently in a foster home in Chattanooga, TN, and available for transport to a number of locations within the continental United States.
