Description
Posted Breed: Neapolitan Mastiff (short coat). Gracie was another one that came to us from an Arkansas Shelter basically at the same time as Adolfo. She is another one that is severely underweight and heartworm possible. On June 24th, 2024 she will be receiving one of two back to back injections for HW treatment, the second on the 25th. In a month or went she get to be a healthy weight and under our Vets recommendation she will be spayed. Gracie wishes to be the only pet in the home, there seems to be no negotiating on that front. She requests the full attention of her humans. On the plus side, she loves car rides and won't leave your side on or off leash. If you believe you are the perfect match for our beautiful approximately 5 year old girl please go to our website at mastino-rescue-inc and complete a family profile. You won't be disappointed with this girl.

Overview:
The Neapolitan Mastiff, or "Neo," is an ancient and imposing breed originating from Southern Italy, specifically the Naples region. Descended from Roman war dogs, their primary role historically was as a formidable guardian of property and livestock. Physically, they are undeniably striking: immense, powerfully built dogs characterized by their loose, wrinkled skin, particularly around the head and dewlap, and a massive, broad skull. Their coat is short and dense, typically coming in grey, black, blue, or mahogany, often with brindle markings. Despite their intimidating appearance, Neos are known for their surprisingly calm, loyal, and affectionate nature with their families. They are generally patient and protective of children within their own household but require early socialization due to their natural guarding instincts. Due to their sheer size and need for space, they are not typically suited for apartment living and thrive in homes with secure, ample outdoor areas. Health-wise, potential owners should be aware of a predisposition to certain conditions common in giant breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia, cherry eye, and bloat, necessitating responsible breeding practices and veterinary care.
