Great Plains Mastiff Rescue is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization made up of volunteers dedicated to saving Mastiffs in need. Our goal is to find a forever home and family for every mastiff that we rescue. We health check each mastiff that comes into our rescue program. This includes vaccinations, spay/neuter, testing for worms and parasites and treatment, heartworm testing and treatment, and microchipping.
So you want to adopt a Mastiff....here's what you do: Online Application: Fill out our online application under "forms/applications." Please be sure to fill it out completely. Allow at least 7 days for our Adoption Coordinator or another volunteer to get in touch with you. Reference Checks: Be sure to have your reference numbers at hand when you are filling out the application. We check both personal and vet references. Please let your personal references know we will be calling them. If we cannot reach them, it will delay the process. Any other pets you have MUST be fully vetted. They must also be spayed / neutered. Vaccinations must be given by a licensed veterinarian, we will not accept vaccinations given by the owners. Home Visit: A home visit is mandatory for all applicants. This involves a rescue volunteer coming to your house and visiting. All members of the family should be present as well as all pets. The only exception we make to the home visit is if we do not have a volunteer in your area to do the visit. We would then require you submit digital photos via email of the following: (a) All rooms of the home that your Mastiff will have access to. (Take them as if you were a realtor. We must be able to see the entire room, not just a corner of room.) (b) Back yard including all four sides of the fence (c) Front yard (d) Other pets (excluding fish). If you do not have a digital camera, you can submit photos via snail mail OR a video tape to our post office box listed on the contact page.
