Missy - 8 year old female Neapolitan Mastiff
Missy is a lovely-natured, gentle 8 year old Neapolitan Mastiff lady who needs a loving, peaceful home after her owners decided to kill her and another dog she lived with just because she was getting older. Luckily for her, she was rescued in the nick of time and is now in foster care looking for a forever home.
She is very friendly and gets on well with other dogs but has been pestered relentlessly by younger dogs in her previous home and deserves a quieter life now so maybe a home with one or two other older male dogs would be right for her (but all homes offered considered!).
She is in very good health for her age and has settled into foster care very well. She is still fit and active and likes to go for short walks. Missy’s ideal home will be with people who have a gentler pace of life, are around most of the time and can provide a sunny spot in the garden in summer or a warm place by the fire in winter for her to snooze in.
She would make an absolutely terrific companion as she adores people and lives for human contact and kindness. Please consider her even if you have never owned a Neapolitan Mastiff - she is a wonderful girl.

This poor little sweetheart is BluBelle (’Blu’ for short), a 10 month old female Neapolitan Mastiff. She was found on the Yorkshire moors at the age of 16 weeks suffering from life-threatening mange and her sight almost completely affected by cherry eye. At the age of 20 weeks she thankfully found her way to us and is being fostered by our consultant behaviourist who is overseeing the considerable amount of rehabilitative care that she needs.
BluBelle is making very good progress, she still retains some problems from her terrible experiences as a puppy and is not suitable for the average pet home. We are looking for an experienced behaviourist or qualified trainer to continue the rehabilitation work that we have started with her so if you fit this criteria please contact us to discuss BluBelle’s specific needs.
(BluBelle mid-sprint eager to come back!)
6May2008 | Neapolitan Mastiff Welfare UK | READ MOREKizzy
Kizzy is a gorgeous 4 year Neapolitan Mastiff female who has had a terrible run of luck. She was originally from a home with 10 dogs and was given to rescue because one of the other dogs took a dislike to her. She was then rehomed to a family who ignored all of our advice on how to settle her in and she became terrified of them. Instead of giving her a chance, listening to our advice and helping her they dumped her back on rescue within a few days!
She then developed a serious internal infection and nearly died but luckily the foster carers who took her in are loving, patient people who have nursed her back to health and they adore her. With all of the troubles she has been through she needs a loving, patient home with people who are experienced with Mastiff types. She has been no trouble at all with her foster carers and we desperately want to see her in a good home as soon as possible.

Hughie is a 6 year blond Neapolitan Mastiff male. He is described by his owners as “… big and soft. We have had him since he was a pup. We have had no problems with him health wise and he weight almost 10 stone when we took him for his vaccinations! He has never shown us any aggressive tendencies. He lives in the barn with our Bloodhound. He does come in the house at times.”
Hughie is due to be neutered on 5 March so will be ready for rehoming around 15th March. He is used to living around horses, cats and other dogs although he has never met children.
27Feb2008 | Neapolitan Mastiff Welfare UK | READ MOREVito
Vito is a young male Neapolitan Mastiff who was rescued from a sad life in a flat about 8 months ago to live in a country hotel with 3 Dalmatians, cats, geese, goats and parrots for company! He is described as gentle and loving, adoring the company of people and other dogs.
He is being rehomed because he becomes too excited when seeing small dogs and cats and this is causing a problem in the hotel as many of the guests bring small dogs. This fairly common problem can be helped with behavioural modification and management which we will offer help with to his new owners.
Obviously his new home must not have cats or small dogs but he will happily live with other medium to large breeds in a Mastiff-experienced home so please get in touch with us if you are interested in him. He is neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped and has no health problems other than a slight recurring eye problem easily resolved by inserting drops.

Minnie is a 4 year female Neapolitan Mastiff currently living in London. She is looking for a home due to a relationship breakup meaning she is at home alone all day. She loves to play and can be clumsy but is generally known as the ‘Gentle Giant’ by her owners and all that know her as she loves people.
Tiny
Tiny is a 4 year male black brindle Neapolitan Masfiff male who is urgently looking for a home due to the current owner having to sell her home and kennels. He has been previously used at stud but he has now been neutered and is now looking for a warm, comfortable home where he can live a peaceful life.
He is described by the person caring for him as a having a wonderful temperament and would make a lovely pet dog. He is used to living indoors so living outdoors in kennels is very hard on him at the moment and we need to find him a home urgently. He is currently sharing a kennel with an English mastiff and getting on really well with her.
26Nov2007 | Neapolitan Mastiff Welfare UK | READ MORELou
Lou is a 7 year old male Neapolitan Mastiff who is urgently in need of a home due to a relationship break up. He is a lively and active older gentleman with lots of energy but has been trained to ‘Sit’ and ‘Wait’ (very important with this breed!).
Lou is suffering terribly in kennels from acute stress and we are having to make emergency arrangements to get him out and into foster care to see if we can help him recover from his trauma.
Unfortunately his foster carer is due to go into hospital just before Christmas so he only has upto this time to be found a home. He is our most urgent and desperate case. If you have a rural home with a large secure garden or field and want a lively, happy companion to follow you around all day please get in touch urgently.
He is an old style, very large specimen of the breed but seems to be physically sound with no serious health problems. He has lived outdoors most of his life.
He has some skin problems which will need some TLC to help fix but once he is living indoors and has softer bedding and more stimulation to stop him nibbling his callouses these should clear up. At the moment he is unneutered so this will need to be undertaken (to reduce the chances of him being stolen) before transfer of ownership.
Please contact mastinowelfare@btinternet.com if you could offer Lou a home.

Blue is a 6 year female Neapolitan Mastiff urgently needing a new home. She has been registered with us for many months now. She has lived with a Jack Russell Terrier and a horse! Although she has had a previous operation on her knee this has caused no problems.
She loves attention and adores people, Blue loves having a good scrub in the bath and having a good ear rub. She loves playing catch and running around with a football. She eats a big dog’s breakfast and at teatime she has Bonios and chewy bones which she likes to hide in her bed.
Blue can be be a bit bouncy when greeted by other dogs but if introduced on a daily basis she will get to know them and then is fine. She is being rehomed due to her owners separation. I’d love Blue to go to a home where they’ll love her like we do.
Please contact mastinowelfare@btinternet.com if you could offer Blue Angel a home.
