Story
Zen is a 4-year-old male Neo Mastiff mix who’s as big-hearted as he is big in stature. Rescued from a shelter after his previous owners surrendered him for being “too big,” Zen is now on the hunt for his forever home where he can truly shine. Zen is a sweet, playful giant with a lot of energy for his breed. He’s very intelligent and learns quickly, making him a joy to train. However, Zen prefers to be the only dog in the home; he can get jealous and aggressive with other dogs, wanting all the attention for himself. When he's your one and only, he’s incredibly loving and will shower you with affection. Though he’s not reactive to other dogs on leash, Zen does best in a home without canine companions. He appreciates careful introductions to new people, especially those who approach unexpectedly. Zen’s ideal owner will be someone experienced with his breed and capable of continuing his training and socialization. If you’re ready to welcome a devoted and energetic companion into your life, Zen could be the perfect fit. He’s looking for a loving home where he can be the center of attention and enjoy all the love he has to give!

Adopting a Neapolitan Mastiff

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

You can adopt a Neapolitan Mastiff at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Neapolitan Mastiff is typically $50 to $300. The adoption fee often includes an initial exam, vaccines, microchipping, spay/neuter, and preventatives. 

In contrast, buying a Neapolitan Mastiff from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they can cost $1,500 to $5,000.

The easiest way to adopt a Neapolitan Mastiff is through a rescue that specializes in Neapolitan Mastiffs, a general Mastiff or giant breed rescue, or through a shelter. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Neapolitan Mastiffs in your search radius.

Neapolitan Mastiff fun facts

Fun Facts:

Neapolitan Mastiffs have dewlaps, or folds of loose skin hanging from the face and jowls especially. This enables them to be very tolerant of pain, which sadly aided in their legacy of being used as fighting dogs, and in baiting bears, jaguars, and bulls.

The Neapolitan Mastiff almost disappeared after World War II, but was revitalized by Italian Dr. Piero Scanziani.

If you're having a Neapolitan Mastiff join your home, you might want to invest in some extra towels! This breed is renowned for a hefty amount of drool.
