Hitch - Mastiff Dog for Adoption in Phoenix, Arizona

Hitch is already 23 pounds at just 10 weeks old, so let's get one thing out of the way: this puppy is not planning to stay portable. This handsome Mastiff has a big future ahead of him and a personality that is already keeping pace.

Hitch is silly, social, and very much a puppy. He's curious about the world, eager to interact, and ready to learn all the things that will help him grow into the magnificent giant he's destined to become. His future family should be prepared for the full Mastiff experience, including plenty of socialization, training, and guidance along the way.

At this age, Hitch's job is essentially to explore, play, nap, repeat—and occasionally make a questionable puppy decision just to keep everyone on their toes. With consistent training and positive direction, that goofy puppy energy can grow into the confident, well-mannered companion hiding underneath all those oversized puppy paws.

His name is Hitch, but he's already pretty good at making himself attached to the people around him. We're guessing those giant paws and that silly personality are going to make it difficult not to get a little attached right back.

Hitch is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and tested negative for heartworm on his 4DX test. He's looking for a breed-savvy family ready to invest in his training and socialization—and ready to watch this chunky little guy turn into one very impressive dog.
