Description
Dog Breed: Fila Brasileiro (short coat). Meet Meredith, a fun-loving sweetheart who can’t wait to share her heart with you! This sweet and spirited 7-year-old girl is bursting with playful energy and ready to find her forever home! Meredith loves a good play-wrestle session with her favorite human — she’s all about fun, friendship, and making every moment joyful. While Meredith can be a little strong-willed around other dogs and enjoys being the queen of her castle, she truly shines when sharing her playful spirit with her favorite humans. She adores older kids and will be a loyal, loving companion for the right family. She’s housebroken, crate trained, spayed, and up to date on all her vaccinations! Meredith has made a couple of doggy friends here — a sweet little lady and a medium-sized gent — and while she likes to take charge during playtime, she’s happiest wrestling and goofing around with her human buddy. With her lively energy and Fila spirit, Meredith warms up quickly to new people and has a heart full of love to give. Her missing front teeth tell the story of her strong prey drive, so she’s best suited for homes without cats or farm animals. If you’re searching for an energetic, fun-loving, and affectionate best friend who will keep life exciting and your heart full, Meredith might just be your perfect match!

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.
