Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER: Izzabella aka Izzy. HISTORY: One owner who did not provide basic medical care so Izzy lived many year with out of control skin issues, ear infections, UTI’s, etc. PERSONALITY: Izzy is a sweet, friendly girl that loves meeting new people and welcoming them into the house. She loves attention and affection and will lean in hard for pets and ear scratches. She tends to spend her days snoozing away but when she gets the zoomies she takes them seriously and this girl can move despite her age. She lives peacefully with a 60lb male mixed breed but is reactive when seeing dogs out on a walk. Izzy is a bit fearful of fireworks and thunderstorms and will sometimes get spooked by loud noises. Izzy likes things to happen on her own personal timeline and can be stubborn when they don’t. She will test limits by whining and carrying on (dancing around, stomping her feet, wagging her tail furiously while staring at you) to try to get her way. She’s learning that those things don’t work in our house but it’s hard not to laugh at her antics. She’ll do it to the other dog in the house too when he’s laying in a bed that she wants. She usually gets her way with the dog. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Napping, soaking up love and attention, laying in the sun MEDICAL ISSUES: With vet care and a quality diet Izzy’s skin issues and ear infections have cleared up and she is no longer a big itchy mess. She did have a mammary tumor removed while being spayed. She is not currently on any medications. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Izzy enjoys hanging out with her people, so a family that spends a lot of time around the house/yard/garden would be great for her. Once integrated with another dog she is very polite and respectful but she definitely needs slow introductions to new dogs.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application Konik earns his name any time he meets a human; he is a licker. He is also a cuddler and a lap dog. He loves all humans and is great with dogs of all sizes. He is being fostered on a farm with four other dogs ranging from 20 to 130 pounds and does fine with them all. His best friend is a Great Dane who he loves to play chase and keep away with. They will play outside then curl up on the couch together for a good, long nap. Konik was found as a stray by three teenagers. Each boy took him home but was told no by the parents. Thankfully the third boy’s grandma took Konik to the local dog shelter who reached out to find a rescue for him. Konik has the sweetest personality. Just an absolute cuddle bug. He is young, playful, well behaved and eager to please. He does not have a prey drive and doesn’t show any aggression. He has met outside cats and is curious; he will chase but in play not to harm. Konik loves toys, especially chew toys. He’ll play keep away and tug of war, but he also plays quietly by himself. He loves to romp and play outside with his Great Dane friend then nap for a few hours on a couch. He also loves to be around people. Going to the kitchen? He’ll tag along. Going to the bathroom? Well obviously you need company. He is a young male and is not yet neutered. Konik would love a house with a playmate. Another dog in the house would become his best friend and mentor. A child or two would just be a bonus. Konik will potty when on a leash so he does not require a fenced yard, but he does enjoy the freedom to run and play that a fenced yard provides. If in a fenced yard he cannot be left alone. He will climb a fence to get back to his people.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER: Tina (aka Carter) HISTORY: Owner surrendered to shelter after being locked in a barn stall with other dogs for unknown amount of time. Tina shows signs of physical abuse by previous owner who was an elderly man. PERSONALITY: Tina is the kind, soft and adoring. She is the perfect best friend with the most beautiful eyes and loving gaze. She’s cautious in new situations and can spook with fast movements. Loud voices trigger a fear response in her and she will drop to the floor and try to disappear. If you grab something quickly she will drop her head and squint and brace for impact. Her fear of being hit has diminished to almost nothing at this point as she was very willing to trust us. Tina is quiet as a mouse unless she hears an unusual noise outside, she will alarm bark once or twice making her an excellent guardian. Tina is perfectly house trained, doesn’t need a crate, sits/waits for food and to be leashed and go outside. Her manners are impeccable. She walks perfectly on leash. She greets you with a thumping tail and a big yawn and a sweet little prance. She has the cutest zoomies after she goes potty outside! Because of her past she shows scars on her face from probable dog fights. She is not interested in living with another dog, however she loves puppies. Tina had a litter of 4 and 3 passed away. She was a wonderful caring mom. She just doesn’t want to be forced to interact with another adult dog. She also isn’t a good candidate for cats, she wants to smash them unfortunately. Tina is the most perfect textbook example of a Mastiff. She’s 175lbs of love, adoration, snuggles, drool, and deeply devoted. Her life has been so tragic and harsh but she has been so trusting and loving towards her foster parents. Tina is quietly protective of her person, she has put herself between her foster mom and big scary horse that she wasn’t sure of, gently pushing her person away and sitting in front to keep an eye on the suspicious animal. She hops around joyfully every time we come in her room, play bites so gently and plants her giant head on your lap any chance she gets. This is a snuggle, snack and nap kind of girl. She loves toys and nurses her stuffed toys like a baby. Tina is someone’s once in a lifetime dog. She is the kind of dog you hope for and never forget. The perfect partner and very best friend you could ever have. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Snacks, big belly rubs, wallering her favorite person, naps, gnawing bones, hopping like a deer in the yard, being talked to like your teenage BFF (she loves gossip) and gets scratches on the soft spot behind her right ear. MEDICAL ISSUES: none WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Tina’s new best friend should have a comfy low couch with pillows and lots of time to spend chatting with her. She is very engaged. No other pets please, but this doesn’t make her a mean dog. Honestly who needs another one when Tina is the whole package anyway?! A fenced yard isn’t necessary but she has to be on a leash when outside as she will chase a cat or squirrels. Big kids would be just fine. We have no way to know how she would be with very young children but loud voices and quick movements are scary at first so best not to put her in that position. Mostly we want someone who can see what a perfect gift she is and adore her as much as she will adore that person.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER: Moose HISTORY: Moose came to us very underweight and with marks showing he was locked in a crate with no padding for most of his life. He never had basic training although his foster is working on it, and he is eager to learn. Despite his rough life, Moose is such a love. He is very patient waiting for his food and takes treats very gently from your hand. He loves people, men and women alike. PERSONALITY: Moose is a silly guy that loves showing you how flexible he is by twisting himself into all types of silly positions whether it be sleeping half on and half off the sofa or fully stretched out on his back with paws up in the air. He is very nimble and can jump up on beds or get in the car easily. He loves car rides. He is very friendly and has had no issues meeting the foster's 6’3” college sons nor friends and neighbors. The vet and vet techs all loved him, and he was such a good boy getting blood drawn and getting vaccines. They referred to him as “a real gem”! Moose is gaining weight and has the softest chocolate fur. And he has not shed at all! Vet says he will most likely be 120lbs when he reaches his ideal weight. Moose has separation anxiety and does not like to be left alone at all. Using a crate is not an option given his past. He wants to be with his person, and he will need a patient adopter to help him overcome his anxiety. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Moose loves to chew on toys, go for car rides and take walks. He is getting better on a leash using an easy walk harness but needs continued leash work. Moose has short bursts of energy and then as a typical mastiff, needs a nap. He sleeps at his foster's feet or on the sofa while his foster works from home and is the perfect office companion except for the occasional snoring. MEDICAL ISSUES: Moose is currently being treated for Lyme. He will be neutered and have entropion surgery soon. No ongoing issues. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Moose does not do well left alone. He needs a home where there are people home most of the time and are willing to work on his separation anxiety without using a crate. He also needs basic training and someone who has the patience to teach him manners, but he is willing and eager to learn. Moose is very strong and will need continued leash work. He has improved using the easy walker harness in a short period of time. He just needs someone to train him, and he will be the best companion. Given his needs for training, an experienced dog owner would be best. Moose doesn’t know his size or strength and would do best with a family without young children. He would do great with teens. He loves the car and will want to go wherever you go. Moose did live with another dog, but he has not been him with dogs or other animals. It was recommended that Moose not be allowed around chickens.

Meet Bikini! This very sweet girl came to us along with her brothers, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, as strays. It seems that Bikini and her brothers were likely dumped, the unfortunate result of backyard breeders and irresponsible pet ownership. Bikini is undersocialized and can be nervous in new situations, but she loves people and is learning that life doesn't have to be so scary. Bikini's brothers seem to boost her confidence, and while they cannot be adopted together, Bikini would love to have another confident doggy playmate at home to show her the ropes. Despite her large size, Bikini is still just a pup so she is looking for a family to provide socialization and positive reinforcement based training to teach her things like potty training and leash manners. If you have other animals at home we recommend bringing them in for a meet and greet before taking Bikini home. If you are interested in meeting with Bikini, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit.

Meet Barnacle Boy! This adorable pup came to us along with his siblings, Mermaid Man and Bikini. It seems that Barnacle Boy and his littermates were likely dumped, the unfortunate result of backyard breeding and irresponsible pet ownership. Barnacle Boy is undersocialized and can be nervous in new situations, but he is quickly gaining confidence and learning that the world isn't so scary. Barnacle Boy is a rambunctious and playful pup, and would benefit from socialization and positive reinforcement based training to help him become a model canine citizen. As with any puppy, Barnacle Boy will need training to teach him things like potty training and leash manners. Barnacle Boy's siblings seem to boost his confidence, and though he cannot be adopted with them, he would love to have a doggy playmate at home to help show him the ropes.

Adopting a Bullmastiff

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Bullmastiff - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt a Bullmastiff at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost to adopt a Bullmastiff is around $100 to $500 or more in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. These fees usually cover expenses such as vaccinations, spaying or neutering, microchipping, and any necessary medical treatments or surgeries.

In contrast, buying a Bullmastiff puppy from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. A pet-quality Bullmastiff puppy from a reputable breeder usually costs anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 or more.

The easiest way to adopt a Bullmastiff is through a rescue that specializes in Bullmastiffs. A great place to start is starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Bullmastiffs and Bullmastiff mixes in your area.

Bullmastiff fun facts

Fun Facts:

The Bullmastiff was originally used as a gamekeeper's assistant. Gamekeepers (estate guardians) were hired to oversee the game on massive estates, and Bullmastiffs were used to track and tackle the poachers.

Oil tycoon John. D. Rockefeller is to thank for importing Bullmastiffs to the United States in the 1920s.

Bullmastiffs were trained not to bark or bite, so their reputation as vicious attack dogs are complete falsehoods. They were trained to be able to quietly track and hold down poachers.
