GPMR does not have a shelter. All of our dogs are kept in loving foster homes. We must have a completed adoption
application on file before meeting any of our mastiffs.

This is Sophie. She came to Great Plains Mastiff Rescue by way of a shelter in MO when she was 8 weeks old. She was rescued with two of her littermates and all 3 pups found homes. Sophie is a Mastiff/Pyrenees mix and although they are 2 XL breed dogs she is full grown at 75 pounds. Her former family brought her to the vet and she was diagnosed with hip dysplasia at 9 months of age - they could not bear the expense of her treatment so they sent her back to GPMR.
Sophie is a wonderfully sweet girl and her foster family thinks she is great. GPMR's vet said that Sophie does not need surgery for her hips. If she exercises regularly and eats a good diet, the vet said her future owners can manage her condition with medication and supplements.
Sophie is also attending training sessions with her foster mom to help her be a better doggie sibling. She doesn't like to share her toys with other dogs so we are working with her on that. The trainer and vet feel that she would do well in a home either as an only dog or with just one other dog that is on the quiet side so that Sophie doesn't get over-exercised and sore from playing too hard with other dogs.
Currently Sophie is on generic Rimadyl once a day and GPMR realizes that this can be expensive so we are willing to cover the cost of this medication for the rest of Sophie's life. All we want is for her to have the loving forever home she so deserves! Please consider this wonderful girl for your home today!
Sophie is being fostered in Tulsa, OK.

Our dogs love to sleep on Kuranda Dog beds, but we don't have enough for everyone. If you would like to donate a bed at a special wholesale price for a another dog to sleep in comfort, please donate a Kuranda dog bed.
