Description
Dog Breed: Neapolitan Mastiff (short coat). Meet Capri! Her story is one that is heard often. She and another dog in the home got into a fight which was initiated by the other dog and an 11-year-old attempted to step in and received puncture marks on the elbow, however no one is totally sure which dog grabbed the youth once and released as everything happened quickly. Capri will be 3 years old in January and has been very well taken care of. She is up to date on all vaccines, spayed and recently had cherry eye removal and entropion surgery. Crate trained, leash trained and has completed obedience training from 6 to 12 months old. Capri loves taking walks and spending time at the lake with her family. She is leery of dogs that are larger in size to her but has been around other dogs that she doesn’t live with. Although, one of her friends in the home is a rescue cat, this doesn’t mean she will get along with others. The family takes full responsibility as to what happened and are truly heartbroken. At this point they feel the best decision is to find her another home. We ask that negative comments be kept to yourselves and you put that effort into helping Capri. If you are the perfect person and environment for Capri please complete a family profile. Currently she is in Colorado, but transportation assistance can be arranged for the perfect forever.

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.
