About Mountain

Meet Mountain! He is a gentle giant at approximately 2 years old and weighs 85 lbs. With blissfully un-cropped ears, his Neapolitan Mastiff mix brings a special charm to any home. Mountain thrives on clear leadership, which helps him feel secure and allows his sweet nature to shine. He walks beautifully on a leash and enjoys relaxing in a crate or lounging in his bed on the patio. While he gets along well with other dogs, he has a strong prey drive, so a home without cats is ideal for him, or at least one where they can be safely separated. This lovable pup needs a foster home experienced with large breeds, where he can have a quiet corner to unwind and dream. If you're looking for a companion who will serenade you with the rhythm of a good snore, Mountain is your guy! He’s ready for a forever home, located in Houston, TX, and can even be transported to most states for an additional fee. Click apply to start the adoption process.
