Helpful Groups & Dogs in Need / Re: Neo in Toronto up for Adoption
« on: August 14, 2005, 09:57:56 pm »

Wow - what a crazy weekend it has
been here for me.
Sorry I have not been able to get on here.
To update you on Shamma and I:
I have been in touch with a family that
lost their Neo two months ago to old age.
Their young girl is heart broken and is very excited to have heard
of my dilemma.  They were referred to me by a very reputable
breeder here in ontario - which makes me feel comfortable.
Not to say that I was/am not listening to all you fine people
and your offers. 
I will of course keep you updated.

To quote two line in my email Leah, "I can not thank you enough for what you are doing.  It breaks my heart to part with her and it will break hers too."
I thank everyone that is assisting me in the matter it warms my heart in
such a dis-heartening situation.

I have no problems placing her with a rescue family.
I can not put her into facility or a family that is going to keep her in a cage all day.  She could not handle that.  We have placed her in kennels before when we had to go away for a few days and she gets depressed and does not eat properly.  She is used to being loose all the time.
The only special need to be considered is companionship - she constantly wants to
be at your feet and rubbed and touched. 
Yes, the drooling infuriates my mom.  She tends to pace around a lot even at all hours of the night and this drives my parents up the wall.  They are unreasonable and figures she should "lay down" all darn day..Yeah, I am bitter...lol
The only reason she is not spayed is cause when we first got her we were going to breed her once for puppies for friends but then they backed out when they saw how big she was getting, so we never bred her.
The only problem I can see with her will be the seperation depression if someone takes her.  She is sooo attached to my brother and I that it will be devistating to her and will take some time to bounce back with the new family.  I left her with a potential family in June for a week.  She would not leave their front door for the first couple days but eventually slowly started to warm up to them.  They absolutely loved her but unfortunately chose not to adopt her.

Good Day folks,
I joined BigPaws Only this weekend past in an
effort to locate a loving family in Toronto and surrounding
areas that is in search of a Neo Mastiff.
I am putting mine up for immediate adoption.
Better details are described in the Mastiff Neo Discussion board.

To the best of my knowledge she is good with other dogs.
When we are out walking she makes no bother with other ones.
Friends have been over with theirs and they play around well.

Passing her over to a foster family would not be a problem
at all for me.  It is not an emergency to give her up other than
the fact she drives my mom up the wall she despises the drooling
and wants her out.

Neapolitan Mastiff Discussions & Pictures / Neo Mastiff For Adoption
« on: August 08, 2005, 08:03:25 am »
I have a neo that I must give up for adoption
due to various circumstances. 

Female Neopolitan Mastff, four 1/2 years old, dark steet grey, approx 160lbs.
She is a pure breed without papers.
Surprisingly great with children and relatively obedient.
She constantly craves affection and attention.
She has not been spayed and is in good health.
My options for her are limited, but she is my baby and MUST
go to a dog loving family who has the patience and love for this breed of
dog, and whom will provide the affection and she wants.
I need her to go to a loving family, for which she comes free to you. I
can't give her to the humane society as I can't see her go
through that torture.
What more to say about her;
She is great with children. Our daughter is 8 and our Neo treats her well
and does not play rough.
She is protective of her surroundings and her family. She craves attention,
loves to cuddle up with us. She has no formal training
but she listens and obeys relatively well.  I am in Toronto.
Finall note - if you are interested in breeding her, she entered first
stage heat on august 3rd or 4th, she will be ready for mating first of
next week, aug 14th.
