Description
Dog Breed: Fila Brasileiro (short coat). Meet Tiana, our sweet and majestic black beauty! Tiana came to us from a Southern California shelter and has been a cherished member of the Fila 911 family since late 2021. At around 8 years old, she’s ready to find a calm and loving home where she can truly relax and be herself. This gentle soul adores cuddles and belly rubs—on her terms, of course! She’s a delightful goofball who will brighten your days with her playful spirit and heartwarming smile. While she may take a little time to warm up to new people, once she trusts you, she’ll eagerly seek your attention and shower you with love. Tiana is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her vaccines. She would thrive best in a quiet home without young children. She’s wonderful with older kids but doesn’t always realize her own size around smaller ones. Tiana would be happiest with someone who understands her gentle nature and can give her the patience and space she needs to feel comfortable. Her favorite pastime? Rolling in the grass and soaking up all the affection—she’ll even paw at you to keep the pets coming! She’s a sweet girl who simply wants love... and maybe a few treats...but don't we all! Tiana is also learning how to be around other dogs. We believe she’d enjoy having a furry playmate and are working to help her build those friendships. She doesn’t make offensive moves but can be a bit defensive if touched unexpectedly by another dog—though she usually recovers quickly once she realizes it was an innocent gesture. In full honesty, Tiana has shown some resource guarding in the past, so she’ll do best with a patient owner who can work gently with her. With the right person by her side, she promises to be the most loyal and loving companion you’ll ever meet. If you’re looking for a snuggle buddy who’s as majestic as she is sweet, Tiana is ready to steal your heart!

Overview:
The Brazilian Mastiff, or Fila Brasileiro, is a magnificent and ancient breed originating from Brazil, where it was historically used for tracking, hunting large game, and guarding plantations. These formidable dogs are instantly recognizable by their large, powerful build, often featuring a loose, wrinkled skin, especially around the head and neck, and a short, dense coat that comes in various solid colors or brindle patterns. Temperamentally, Filas are known for their loyalty and protective instincts towards their families, making them excellent, albeit reserved, guardians. They possess a natural wariness of strangers and a strong prey drive, requiring early socialization and consistent training to channel their assertive nature appropriately. Due to their significant size and need for space, they are generally unsuitable for apartment living and thrive in homes with ample yard space. While generally robust, like many large breeds, they can be predisposed to conditions such as hip and elbow dysplasia and bloat, necessitating careful breeding and veterinary care.
