Review for Mastiff Rescue of Florida, Stuart, FL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have loved Mastiffs for most of my life. I call them gentle giant teddy bears. They are a wonderful breed, but the problem is their size. They have a big old heart, but a big old body that comes with it, which makes it not cheap to have one. So many people get them with good intentions, but then can’t afford to keep them. Their food, doctor bills and then if they get sick it is not cheap. I have one I rescued with her sister at the pound because no one wanted them. The last sister is in kidney failure and it is extremely expensive, but she is part of the family. I recently joined MRF and what a wonderful group, they are very caring and dedicated to the breed. I have only had the pleasure to meet a few in the group but they were wonderful. They try to spend the time making sure the dog matches and works for the person, so it is a forever home. This is a great thing for each dog so they don’t get bounced around or left out and abused. I have taken in rescues all my life and for a group to put so much effort in what is best for the dog well that is hard sometimes . They give a person the chance to see if it will work. They keep in touch by helping with problems and just anything that comes up, I have not seen this in some groups. I look forward to trying to help the group the best I can and I hope others will too.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Give them the means to expand, so they could help even more
