About Fae

Fae is a 4-year-old brindle Mastiff tipping toward the extra-large side, standing over 146 pounds. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and kept on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. Fae is naturally shy around new people, so she’s going to need patience and a long runway to adjust. Her trust comes gradually, but once it’s there, she’ll be devoted to her person. She’s leash trained, loves to be outside, and is happiest lounging on a soft bed indoors after some time in the yard. Fae must be the only pet in the home—unless she’s adopted with Lincoln, the only dog she currently considers a friend. No exceptions on other animals or on households with young children: this is non-negotiable for her comfort and safety. A secure, tall privacy fence is almost mandatory for her; she’s protective and not suited to frequent visitors or a social hub. During gatherings, Fae will need to be in her kennel for everyone’s peace of mind. She’s got a loyal streak and has even donated blood to help other dogs—a testament to her big heart. Fae needs a calm home and someone committed to several meets and a slow transition. Life at the rescue is stressful for her; she’s ready for something better. Ready to meet your new best friend?
