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. GPMR adopts to the states of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, Louisiana and parts of Colorado. !!!Any mastiffs being adopted out of the state of Oklahoma require a health certificate to be paid for by the adopter!!! *** Ellie's adoption fee is waived as part of our Fall in Love adoption special!*** Meet Ellie! She was found laying in a ditch on a rural road in TX. She was emaciated, covered in wounds and had a large, open wound with bone exposure on one of her back legs that was severely infected. Thankfully she tested negative for heartworms. We treated her for fleas and intestinal parasites which are common for dogs who have been wandering. Thanks to the quick help of our veterinarian, we were able to treat Ellie's wounds and now they are all healed up. We consulted with an Orthopedic vet for her leg injury as we suspected there was some damage to the joint. He did agree that the joint looks damaged but since she's gradually starting to bear weight on that leg more and more, he doesn't think she will require any surgery. It will never be a perfect leg, as she sometimes limps on it, but it's very functional for her and she gets around on it pretty well. We'd love a home with some carpet as she can slip on the tile if she gets too active. She likely will need to have occassional anti-inflammatory medication if she over-does it and gets sore. She loves to romp around in the yard and play with the other dog in her foster home. Ellie is either a full Anatolian Shepherd, or an Anatolian/Mastiff mix which is sometimes called an American Mastiff. She definitely had much more of the Anatolian traits and we'd love to find a family with experience with this breed. Given that Ellie had been wandering for who knows how long, she can sometimes be timid in new situations. Getting in the car can be a challenge but she's learning and understanding that vet clinics are not all that scary after all. Ellie could be placed with kids ages 6 and up. She is doing great with the dogs in her foster home but she's not terribly social with dogs outside of her pack. We don't know how she would do with cats at this time. Ellie is continuing her rehabilitation which is just gradually getting her stronger on that leg. She would love a family who can take her for daily walks. She is ready for adoption, please submit an application for her today! Ellie is being fostered in Guthrie, OK. Save a Mastiff...Adopt, Foster, Volunteer!
