Fill out an Adoption Application

Chrissy is a beautiful 5 year old apricot English Mastiff. She is sweet and loving and once she is settled she will be a devoted member of the family. Chrissy is house and crate trained and sleeps through the night. She is a bit of a character when it comes to taking slippers or shoes from her foster family - she doesn't chew them but you will find them outside or in her crate! She is heartworm negative and UTD on all her vaccines and is microchipped. 

Likes: Chrissy is happy chilling with her people, playing with other dogs or laying in her crate. She loves a good bone or hard chew toy to carry around but is happy to let the other dogs steal them from her.  Chrissy loves food!  No need to buy treats, kibble works just fine.  No food aggression.

Dislikes: She will duck and run if approached too fast and has to warm up to rubbing her head. 

Personality: Chrissy loves when her foster human grandkids come to visit. She likes to see them and have them hang out. She will do best with another dog in the house as she loves to have a friend to play with.

Temperament: Chrissy takes her heartworm and flea and tick meds without issue. She eats her food readily and enjoys treats.

Energy level: Chrissy is not yet good on a leash - she tends to run around her person. She prefers the ease of the doggie door and a yard to run in with her friend(s).

Favorite activities: Hanging out with her people and dog friends!

Good with cats, dogs, and kids (over 6): Chrissy is good with dogs of all sizes and is also good with children.

Not good with: (no known/seen issues) 

Requires a fenced yard (physical fence and/or invisible fence)? Physical fence required.  

Walks well on a leash? It's a work in progress, but she is working on it. :)

Challenges: Chrissy would do well in a home where someone in the family is home most of the day. She would also do best with another dog that she can play with.

Any Medical issues? None 

What would be the best kind of home? Chrissy’s ideal home would be one that has average activity and people to take her out on walks or spend time with her. She needs a home where the family will love on her and let her know she has found her forever home.
