Description
Dog Breed: Mastiff (medium coat). Santiago, our resident heavyweight, is a gentle giant. Once he's out of the shelter, he walks nicely right next to you. Santi also has good car manners, getting in and sitting politely while you're on your way to your destination. He knows sit and down and enjoys treats so he has reason to learn more! On a recent day trip with a community member she explained he enjoyed a long walk up and down State street, showed some interest in dogs, but walked easily passed them. A yappy little dog popped off at him, but he didn't care. He also made many friends on his walk, taking treats from strangers who just met him. She also shared a photo of him lying down on cool bathroom tile to cool himelf off and didn't mind people stepping over him.

Overview:
The Mastiff, an ancient and noble breed, boasts a history stretching back millennia, often linked to the Molosser dogs of antiquity. Renowned for their immense size, these gentle giants are characterized by their powerful, muscular build, broad head, and short, dense coat typically seen in fawn, apricot, or brindle. Despite their imposing appearance, Mastiffs are famous for their remarkably calm and gentle temperament, making them surprisingly affectionate and devoted companions. They generally get along well with children and other pets, provided they are properly socialized from a young age. While their size might suggest a need for vast spaces, their relatively low energy levels mean they can adapt to apartment living if given regular, moderate exercise. Prospective owners should be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, bloat, and eye conditions, necessitating responsible breeding and veterinary care. Their loyalty and protective instincts, combined with their loving nature, make the Mastiff a truly magnificent addition to the right family.
