Castle Mastiff Lenoir, NC

Someone was seen leaving these two sweet giants in a neighborhood. Fortunately, their rescuer was willing to take them in to keep them safe.

With a guesstimated birthday in Dec. 2017, Castle is too big to weigh on our scale. At his neuter on July 5, 2022, he weighed 160 lb.

Castle is a sweet boy. He will behave protectively if another dog is being impolite, but demonstrates only curiosity when encountering polite dogs.

Althoug leash-trained, this great big goof will pull. At present he must be kept in his foster's barn. Don't worry, the stall opens onto a pasture so he has plenty of fresh air and interaction. He is showing a preference for eliminating on walks rather than in his kennel. We will require his qualified adopter to have experience with giant breeds.

Castle had a lump on his right elbow which was removed July 5th. It doesn't impair the range of motion in his joint. His right front paw is missing the toes on several digits. The vet believes this was how he was born and it doesn't affect his mobility.

Whether dogs / puppies come in as strays or owner surrenders, we usually have to make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

If adopted into a home with other animals, particularly cats, your new pet should be crated or secured when you're not available to supervise to insure a harmonious relationship.

A vet reference is required to confirm responsible pet ownership. Requirement is a minimum three year vet history documenting current / previous pets are spayed / neutered, kept up to date on core vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. We suggest first time pet owners without a vet history look for an adult dog for companionship and to gain experience. Other rescues or your local government-run animal control agency may have different adoption requirements.

Adoption fee covers two vaccinations. Additional fees for 3rd puppy vaccination, refundable spay/neuter deposit, etc. may apply.

We are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue. We receive no funding from agencies.

Not all foster dogs are available for viewing during public events at Tractor Supply (360 Blowing Rock Blvd) in Lenoir, NC. Available animals can be seen most Saturdays at Tractor Supply in Lenoir from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We recommend interested parties contact us to pre-qualify for adoption so their new furry family can go home once paperwork is complete.
