My Nonprofit Reviews

The volunteers at MRF are the most dedicated group of people I have ever met. Their mantra, "The dogs come first, " is a code they live by on a daily basis. Whether it be rescuing a dog in need or, helping an owner keep their dog via the hand to mouth program. In my case the dog was in serious need and they worked hard to match the dog with the right household. Including a visit to my house to meet the family and determine whether we would be a good fit. Fortunately we were and our Mastiff Liberty has been with use for over 2 years and is part of our family. We cannot imagine our home without her. I have donated to MRF Florida several times and even in these high inflationary times we still scratch pennies to ensure that we can support this fine organization.

Hi: I'm a Mastiff and my name is Liberty. This is my story. I was born 5 years ago and adopted by a wonderful human in Kentucky. I was well cared for and much loved. Last year my human crossed the rainbow bridge. Someone called the paramedics and when they came to the door I did what Mastiffs naturally do. I protested by barking vigorously. The paramedics called animal control and they came to remove me from the house. They were neither kind or gentle about it and I sustained a few injuries as a result. They took me to the animal shelter. I was so scared. I had no idea what they were doing to me. I missed my human. A few days later some distant relatives who lived in Florida came and got me. They took me back to Florida. I was scared there too because it was all so strange for me. They were told by their landlord that I couldn't stay because I was too big. (Now I'm not a fat girl and pride myself on my trim figure). Anyway the nice family called Mastiff Rescue of Florida and they immediately assigned a foster to come and help me. I was scared for the first few days but my foster parents had another dog and a cat too. I quickly grew fond of the entire foster family. I have now been living with my foster family for 6 months and can tell you that if it were not for Mastiff Rescue of Florida I can only imagine how my life would have been different. Every day I thank the Big Dog upstairs for MRF and my foster family.

As a volunteer for this fine organization I have met many wonderful and dedicated people all working toward a common goal. The goal of rescuing and homing this great Mastiff breed. The needs of the dogs come first and I am proud to be able to help.
