Meet Joplin: 105 Pounds of Squishy, Drooly Perfection 🖤
Joplin (formerly Tahri) is an estimated 1-2 year old English Mastiff with the softest face, the squishiest body, and quite possibly the happiest heart on planet Earth.
This beautiful girl is a proud ACCT Philly timestamp survivor who spent an entire month waiting patiently at the shelter while potential adopters somehow walked right past one of the best dogs to ever exist. Their loss is truly someone else’s giant, slobbery gain.
Since arriving in foster care, Joplin has proven herself to be nothing short of spectacular. In fact, her foster mom confidently reports that she is easily one of the best foster dogs she’s had in a long time—and that’s saying something.
So what makes Joplin so special? Glad you asked.
✅ Crate trained
✅ House broken
✅ Excellent in the home
✅ Friendly and social with dogs of all sizes
✅ Loves every adult she’s met so far
✅ Great in the car
✅ Walks nicely on leash
✅ Knows “sit,” “down,” and “off”
✅ Professional cuddler
✅ Certified wiggly booty enthusiast
Joplin is the perfect combination of playful and laid back. One minute she’s bouncing around with her giant puppy energy, and the next she’s melting into you on the couch like a 105-pound weighted blanket with jowls. Her entire body turns into a wave when she gets excited, and when she’s really happy, she smiles at you—which is both adorable and mildly unhinged looking in the best possible way.
She also loves adventures and car rides, happily loading up for any outing you have planned. Hardware store trip? Great. Coffee run? Amazing. Aimless drive because you needed snacks? She’s already in the passenger seat emotionally.
Joplin responds wonderfully to appropriate structure, corrections, and training tools. She’s eager to learn and genuinely wants to make her people happy. She does, however, occasionally express her enthusiasm by launching herself toward you with what her foster mom lovingly refers to as a “mean right hook.” Don’t worry—it’s all love. She just occasionally forgets she’s the size of a small horse.
Now, because honesty matters, let’s discuss the mastiff features some people may not be prepared for:
💦 She drools. A lot.
Not “a little string after drinking water” drool. We’re talking Olympic-level slobber production. Drool rags are not optional in this household; they are survival equipment.
🧹 She sheds. Constantly.
Her soft blonde fur will become part of your home décor, wardrobe, car interior, and probably your morning coffee. Resistance is futile.
⚖️ She’s BIG.
At 105 pounds and still filling out, Joplin needs a family comfortable with giant breed dogs and all the joy (and accidental body checks) that come with them.
Since being with the rescue, Joplin also underwent bilateral cherry eye repair surgery and is recovering beautifully. Because this can sometimes reoccur in the breed, her future family should understand that additional intervention could potentially be needed later in life.
Joplin is:
✔️ Spayed
✔️ Microchipped
✔️ Up to date on vaccines
✔️ On preventatives
✔️ Cherry eyes repaired
More than anything, Joplin is looking for a forever family who will embrace every goofy, drooly, loving piece of her. She would absolutely thrive with another playful dog companion and humans who appreciate giant breeds and giant personalities.
If you’re looking for a quiet houseguest, a road trip buddy, a couch cuddler, a walking comedy routine, and a dog who will love you with her entire gigantic heart, Joplin is ready to move in and never look back 💕
