Isla's Story
***UPDATE***<br/>Isla is very prey driven. She is NOT good with most other dogs. She formerly spent time with a large neutered male Lab without incidence and currently lives with a neutered male Irish Wolfhound mix. They get along great, love each other actually and would be a perfect pair to leave together. That is why I hesitate to mark "not good with dogs" in the general form on Petfinder. So if you read this, you'll know, if you don't read this, don't be surprised when I inform you of this after you apply. We do expect people to understand our requirements for adoption before applying and read ALL the information provided about each dogs personality. They're posted below. Don't come at me with "you're rude" if you have intact dog(s) in the home, no fence or are under the age of 25, your application will be declined. ***<br/><br/>Isla, aka "LaLa" is a 2-Year-Old spayed female 180 lb. Purebred English Mastiff. She has had a bit of a rough beginning. She belonged to a person who kept her in a kennel run outside of his house for the first one and a half years of her life. She had very little human interaction and didn't get to go anywhere. He sometimes brought her in the house at night, but most of her time was spent in this 20x20 kennel in his backyard. The neighbors being animal lovers, asked if they could start taking her out and taking her for walks in the park and for play dates in their yard with their Labrador. Which worked great for her for this last year. They taught her very good manners, obedience and how to behave on a leash. Her owner became terminally ill, and left her there in the kennel run at the rental he was living in. Abandoned her. He moved to Southern Idaho and when contacted by animal control said "he didn't care what they did with her". The neighbors set out to find a somewhere safe for her. They only wanted one dog, so reached out to us to surrender her for proper rehoming. That being said, she's still extremely under socialized and has trouble meeting new people. She will take an experience, patient Mastiff person who's not afraid of her to give her the 2 or 3 days it takes for her to relax in a new environment. She's a HUGE baby and may act tough, but it's all bluff. Once she knows you, she loves you! And she is your typical leaner, love bug lap dog Mastiff. She is not good with farm fowl or cats or smaller (than her) dogs. A slow supervised introduction is best, which is completely normal, if you have another large or giant breed dog. We really love this girl now that she's been with us a couple weeks, but sadly, farm life is not going to work for her as she will kill poultry, goats and cats and so we are seeking a knowledge Mastiff home without other animals. Fill out an application if you would like to be considered!!
