SSMR has been proud that we have never had to turn away a Mastiff before because we could not accommodate them -and we do not want to be in that position but it is on the horizon quickly if new volunteers do not come forward in Florida and in other states. Please volunteer to foster a Mastiff in ANY of the Southern States region TODAY if you have ever thought about offering a safe refuge to a special Mastiff...now is the time to literally save the life of a Mastiff by doing what you can to help. Please help us so we don't have to turn any of them away...

Hi, I’m Sophie.  I’m 4 ½ year old lovable girl whose owner passed away recently.

The people that were supposed to take care of me didn’t want me and surrendered me to a kill shelter.  Thank goodness I was rescued in the nick of time by an SSMR volunteer. Now I have a chance at a new life- but have to admit that I’m a bit depressed after all I have gone through.

 I just really need to find that someone that wants to love me forever. 

I need to eat lots of yummy food and gain some much needed weight, but other than that I think I’m pretty healthy.  I need LOTS of love and attention….I love to lay by your feet and get scratches behind the ears.    I love to play with my foster brothers and sister dogs….they are lots of fun.  I was raised with a companion dog, but he’s not with me anymore…so if you have another dog, I would love to play with them.  I sure like kids too…my tail wags when I get happy….I get a little excited though, so maybe I’d be better with older kids….I don’t want to accidentally knock a little one over…but it wouldn’t be on purpose if I did. 

 I am learning my manners again, as I think I forgot some of them while I was on the streets, but I’m learning VERY quickly.  But I do know to potty outside and never potty in the house.  I love to sleep on the nice soft bed.  Do you want to love me forever?

AN UPDATE ON SOPHIE FROM HER FOSTER MOM

"I am fostering Sophie in Milton. I just wanted to let you know she went to the vet on Saturday and she is HW NEGATIVE!  I started her on Hw preventatives on Sunday. She was given a 5 way vaccination at the shelter and received her rabies shot on Saturday. She also was wormed, as they only thing they could find  were a few hook worms. We also need to update the site to show that she is great with both sexes of dogs. So far, she is the most docile mastiff I have ever seen.

Any of the dogs at my house can stick their head in her food bowl and she will not react. All she does is stand there and let them eat. She is also great in the house - has not had one accident nor has she bothered anything. She never meets a stranger - loves all people including children and got along with every dog at the vet's office. She is so laid back and does not stress about anything.

She will even go  out and potty in a tropical storm without a second thought. She also has gotten used to my cat and should be fine with any cat after a brief get to  know you period.

She should make a wonderful addition to any household! "
 

If you have the time and love in your heart to make me a family member for ever please fill out an adoption application at adoption application mentioning me by name and state.
