This sweet girl lost her family when they moved and were not able to bring her. She stayed with her owner's friends until they found a safe place for her with GPMR. She was born in December 2022.Sushi is a sweetie! She was so excited to meet her fosters Bully mix, that she was a bit much at first. After some decompression time, they’re now best buds and play all the time! Sushi also does well at reading and responding to cues when playing, or gently correcting if it’s too rough. Sushi is a bit unsure around new people, but has not shown aggression, She retreats to her kennel or to her fosters upon meeting someone new. This hopefully will get better in time but in case, she would do best in a home that doesn't constantly have visitors coming and going. She is crate trained and sleeps in her kennel at night with no issue, and is trusted inside with free roam. Sushi has a high prey drive and goes after rabbits outside and tries to chase cars when they pass (she is behind the chainlink fence so she can't get to them but can see them), so she definitely needs supervision outside. A securely fenced yard is a must for her. She likely would not do well with cats or tiny/small breed dogs given her prey drive. She is a heavy chewer but has not been destructive, she just needs age and size appropriate toys. Sushi is good with her fosters 2 kids, ages 5 years and 7 months. She is big and goofy but understands being gentle around them. She is food motivated and that has helped in crate training her. Sushi can shake and sit and is very smart. She is housebroken and has had no accidents. They are working on some manners related to counter-surfing - but again, she's food motivated so that's to be expected. Sushi loves to snuggle! She does need play/exercise time but she usually plays for about 20-30 minutes then rests for a couple of hours, so even being young and energetic, she's pretty chill for a puppy. True to the breed, she can be stubborn. They’re working on recall with her and she's consistently responsive to the foster Dad, but a bit more stubborn with her foster Mom, though she is improving. With a little patience and recognition of her age and traits that are typical for the breed, she'll be a wonderful companion to the family who adopts her. Overall, she really is a sweetheart and a great dog! Sushi is being fostered in Conway, AR.

Cash is a super sweet 10-month-old male (born 1.3.24) who was an owner surrender to a shelter in South Texas for financial reasons. The owner said he is a Dou-bull Mastiff, which is supposedly a cross between an English Mastiff and Bullmastiff. We see the English Mastiff in him and he’s still a growing puppy, so maybe the Bull Mastiff will be more evident as he gets older and fills out. But so far we're not seeing it. He currently weighs about 100 lbs and will likely be around 120 + lbs when full grown. Cash takes to a crate beautifully. In fact, we think he might have spent a lot of his life in a crate because he is just now learning to be a puppy and part of a family. New people, new situations and new dogs are a bit scary for him at first, but he does warm up quickly. We’ve learned to take things slowly for him. Until he gets more comfortable, a home with either no kids or older kids and dogs that allow him to ease into playing would be best. Once he learns new people, he gets attached quickly to his family, and loves being around his people. He is enjoying playing with his 4-legged foster brother (they really play hard with each other but they both love it) and is very affectionate with his foster parents and other family members who visit that he’s grown to know. Cash is learning to walk on a leash and seems to enjoy car rides but new places like vet offices make him nervous. He loves toys, treats, dinner time and bones. He loves soft toys a bit too much - we stopped giving those to him after pieces of them would disappear. He’s still a puppy that likes to chew, so we’ve learned that bones and Kong-type toys work best for him. He knows what “crate up” means and is learning to sit and shake. He is neutered and ready for a new family that will continue to be patient in training him and teaching him new things and what a life with a loving family is all about. As we learn more about Cash, we’ll continue to update his page. Cash is being fostered in Broken Arrow, OK.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Save a Mastiff...Adopt, Foster, Volunteer!November 25, 2024, 6:29 pm

Have you ever been stuck in a bit of a time warp? One where you keep wondering when your life will truly begin? Because I have. I suppose I used to have a home. It has been so long now that I really cannot remember much about it. All I can remember is that one day my family decided they didn't want me anymore and ended up surrendering me to the shelter. That was probably one of the hardest things I have ever gone through. Do you know how hard it is to be walked into a place you are already weary of but because your owner is by your side you do it anyway? And then hearing all the pleas for help from the other animals there and just wanting to run away? But instead, your owner hands over he leash and walks out. And instead of getting to back through that door with them, you are walked to the back with dozens of kennels and other dogs all wondering why they are here? Yeah, not my idea of a fun time. I entered what would end up being my home for quite some time......4 months to be exact. Yep, for whatever reason no one ever chose me. I watched countless dogs get adopted and find their people, but yet people always walked by my kennel and never noticed me. It was so depressing. I felt like my life was just passing me by. I was alive but not really living. I was so happy for the dogs that did find families, but I was also left wondering why no one wanted me. What I didn't know, was that PPFT was working behind the scenes to try and find a foster family for me. They ended up reaching out to the public for help and thanks to my amazing foster family, I was finally able to make a jailbreak! They think I’m about 2 years old and weigh in at around 80lbs, which makes me a big, fluffy powerhouse of cuteness. Yep, I’m basically the living, breathing embodiment of a teddy bear—if teddy bears ate snacks and left fur everywhere, that is. So, prepare yourself to find a bit of “Glipyr” (my fancy word for fur) all over the place. It’s like a free subscription to a fluffy new decor trend, compliments of me As for my ancestry? Well, I’m still not sure if I’m secretly a mix of rare mystical creatures or just a regular ol’ Mastiff/Pyr hybrid. One thing’s for sure—I’ve got the Mastiff look down, and the Pyr "fluff explosion" nailed. So, who knows? I could be the majestic offspring of a Mastiff and a Pyr, or I could just be an absolute mystery wrapped in fluff and good intentions. Either way, I'm big, I’m fluffy, and I’m ready to spread joy (and a little bit of fur) wherever I go! It’s honestly a mystery how I sat at the shelter for so long unnoticed. I mean, hello—have you seen me? People are baffled, and I get it. I’ve got the full package: beauty, brains, and a personality that’ll make you want to hit "pause" on your life to cuddle me. They call me Brookie because my markings are like a delicious swirl of brown cookie dough (minus the calories, obviously). Seriously, my coat is chef’s kiss—so soft, you’d think I was part bunny, part Tasmanian tiger, part bear. Yep, I’m basically the love child of nature’s softest creatures, with markings that could be featured in a "Best Dressed Coat" magazine. But don't let my good looks fool you—I’m not just a pretty face. I’m also a dog who LOVES other dogs. I’m playful enough to keep up with my furry friends, but I’m also an expert at transitioning to nap mode once the wrestling session winds down. And when it’s time for downtime, I’m a pro at cuddling. I’ve got a perfect balance of play and chill, which means I’ll be ready for whatever fun my family throws my way—whether that’s a hike or a Netflix binge. I’m also fostering a love for kids. Gentle pats and soft snuggles are my jam, and with my super soft fur, I’m basically a kid magnet. But, full disclaimer, I’m still learning the ropes of being a family dog, so it’s probably best if your kids are old enough to understand that I’m a lover, not a rough-and-tumble toddler playmate. I’m sure we’ll work it out, but I need a gentle approach until I get fully comfortable. As for those “purrinator” creatures, I’m not quite sure what to make of them yet. If they’re calm and chill, we’ll probably get along just fine. But if they’re strutting around like they own the place? Well, we might need to have a little chat about boundaries. Ah, speaking of boundaries. I'm practically royalty when it comes to following house rules. You could say I'm a quick study. I'm completely potty trained (no accidents here, folks!), though, in the beginning, I insisted on having my foster family accompany me outside. Why? Well, I was just worried that if I went out alone, they might forget about me! I mean, can you blame me? A dog's gotta have some peace of mind, right? So, heads up: my new family will need to be prepared to escort me outdoors for the first few days—after all, I am royalty, and royalty don't go out unescorted. Now, I’ve got house manners down to an art. I’ve earned the privilege of free-roaming the house, and honestly, who could resist? I’ve never been kenneled, and frankly, I’m hoping my new family will extend me the same courtesy. And speaking of privileges, I’ve discovered the couch. Oh, the couch... It’s soft, it’s plush, it’s basically heaven on earth. So, if you find me lounging there, don’t be too surprised. I’m just living my best life—and by "best life," I mean "getting all the cuddles and napping in my royal spot." As for chewing, well, I’m not really into that. Unless you leave shoes lying around. Yes, I have developed a bit of a shoe fetish... I mean, they smell like you, and who wouldn’t want to chew on something that smells like their favorite human? So, I may have left my “mark” (and a little slobber) on a few. But hey, together forever, right...I am just helping make it a bit more shoeffical! Now, about my living situation—yes, I’m a big girl, but I don’t mind living in a "fun-sized" house (aka apartment). Sure, you might find yourself dodging my fluffy butt a bit in tight spaces, but I promise I won't mind as long as you’re giving me tons of love and regular walks. Speaking of walks, I’m probably not ready to be the town's social butterfly just yet. New places and situations are still a little scary for me. But hey, we can totally work up to it! Just don’t expect me to be the talk of the town right off the bat... well, except for my gorgeous markings. That’s definitely a crowd-pleaser. When it comes to meeting new people, I’m not like those golden retrievers who think everyone is their BFF, but I’m also not a German Shepherd who greets everyone like they’re an intruder. I’m somewhere in the middle—cordial but cautious. I’m well-mannered on a leash, though, and won’t be tripping you up or dislocating your shoulder during our walks. Let me just say—I’m basically the perfect fit for any family. I’m the versatile type, ready to roll with both active families and laid-back ones. I’m like the Swiss Army knife of dogs. But here's my one request: I’d prefer to have another dog in my new home. Why? Because they’re like my personal confidence coaches and, honestly, they know all the best spots to nap. Plus, they help me figure out the “rules” of this whole world, which is super helpful because, let’s face it, I’m still working on the basics. I do have a bit of a quirky side, like those delightful little zoomies I’ll throw in when the mood strikes. Trust me, when I get going, it’s pure entertainment for everyone around. You’ll never have to pay for Netflix again—just watch me zip around and try to dodge furniture like I’m in an action movie. Now, about that game called fetch...yeah, I don’t get it. Why would I run after something you tossed away? It’s like playing a game where you do all the work, and I just get tired. I mean, I'm super into being loved and petted, so why not just focus on that instead? But don’t worry, I do love toys—just, uh, not the kind that roll or get tossed. You can throw ‘em if you like, but I’d much rather give them a good chew or stare at you with my best “You’re going to pet me, right?” face. Well, folks, I think it’s safe to say I’m finally living the dream. I’ve learned so much and I’m buzzing with excitement because I’m just this close to finding my forever family! I mean, who wouldn’t want to bring me home? But there’s one little thing I need to mention—I’m currently being fostered in Broken Arrow, OK, and, honestly, I’d prefer to skip the whole being transported by someone who isn't my family part. Why not make it a road trip? I think it’s much more personal for us to bond right from the start as we roll home together. Now, I’ve been waiting for a long time to find my forever family, so if you decide to welcome me into your heart and home, just know it’s a forever commitment. I mean, can you imagine getting all excited about being adopted, and then, poof, I’m sent back because life changed? I’d probably need therapy after that! So, if you’re ready to take the plunge and bring me home for good, I’m ready to return all the love and snuggles you’ve been waiting for. Let’s make this journey one that lasts a lifetime!

Adoption application: https://forms.gle/84iaJuTxWeGn63yv8 I’m a 1-year-old Mastiff/Lab mix and am told I am a smart boy with HIGH ENERGY. I love to run, play fetch, play keep away, and be around people. I LOVE PEOPLE. And I love rides in the car and visiting new places! I am good with other dogs when introduced properly and am fostered in a home with cats that are used to dogs – I will chase cats because I want to play with them and I don’t realize how big I am! I prefer a structured home life with a routine and lots of exercise and enrichment activities. I underwent extensive training at K9 University, so you will have to keep up with my training because I love to test boundaries. I am potty trained and kennel trained as well. I need a fenced yard (at least 6 ft) because I can jump high. I am a big goofy HAPPY guy and I love everyone including kids!
