Holly is a wonderful and loving 18 month old Mastiff puppy girl was robbed of a real 'puppyhood' and SO richly deserves a really wonderful life in a loving home. Here is her story which is unfolding as you read this. It is our hope that this listing will touch the heart of her soon-to be-new owner and that Holly will soon be living the life of riley which every Mastiff deserves.

A longtime Mastiff rescue volunteer came across this beautiful girl, tied by a log chain in someone's yard- with no food or water or shelter in 100 degree heat. Holly has clearly been used for breeding and the poor girl was starving and dehydrated- you could count every rib in her body. Still she maintained her dignity and regal bearing and her tail gently wagged, hopefully.

This volunteer's heart was in her throat as she knocked on the door and offered to purchase the dog from the owner- hoping that she could save this beautiful Mastiff from one more day of suffering under those conditions.  While her owner initially refused to discuss selling the dog to her later he called her at the phone number she left with him- and gave her a price at which she could purchase the dog- and that is how Holly's second chance began.

Thanks to this wonderful and compassionate Mastiff lover, Holly is now safe and is ready for a new home where she will be treasured as she deserves to be.  Holly is very loving and sweet- tolerant and gentle as our breed is so well known for. She is a lovely looking girl in spite of all she has obviously endured- seeking only to please you. Her eyes speak of true devotion.

She is getting along well with the other Mastiffs in her rescuer's home right now- so should be happy in a home with other dogs we believe. She ignores the cats in her foster home and so far has been GREAT with the grandchildren of all ages that come and go from her foster home.  In fact recently she sat quietly (almost holding her breath) while a cat used her back as a scratching post!
