About Smoosh:

  • Our sweet big girl has lived a hard life, and we are bound and determined to make it up to her. She started out in an abusive domestic violence home where we took her in as an emergency case.  She was more recently adopted by an inexperienced mastiff family who just would not put in the time to train her to become the dog that we know she can be – that’s our fault and we will not let it happen again.
  • Smoosh is a bit shy with first introductions, but it doesn’t take long for her to open up and charm people even with goobers drooling from her jowels (it’s a mastiff thing!)! Prior to her recent adoption, we had Smoosh with other dogs and she was indiffernt, but not at all reactive so we think she would do well with calmer dogs who like to hang out. True to the mastiff breed, she is a sensitive giant who needs a family who will understand, and not be afraid of, how to work and comunicate with her.  For this reason, we will only consider experienced adopters who have successfully raised mastiffs, and have a large enough home and yard to allow Smoosh her space to decompress and become a part of the family.
  • One additional note … like many purebred giants, Smoosh has sensitive skin and ears, and we are working on fixing a chronic ear infection that is causing her much discomfort.
