About Tallulah

Tallulah is a two-year-old brindle English Mastiff with a short coat who’s mastered the basics and still has that spark of youthful energy. Her name, rooted in Native American tradition, means "leaping water"—a perfect fit for this graceful, waterfall-of-a-dog. Tallulah returns to rescue through no fault of her own, after her family faced unexpected medical costs for an ACL injury. She’s now in foster care, receiving the surgery and recovery she deserves. Tallulah shines at the dog park, enjoys hiking, and never misses a chance to ride in the truck, wind in her face. She’s friendly with other dogs, especially males if given a gentle introduction, and prefers the calmer presence of older kids over bustling toddlers. A home with giant-breed experience is required to help Tallulah thrive in her next chapter. Ready to welcome this waterfall of joy into your life? They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
