About Mountain

Meet Mountain! He is a young, 1-year-old Mastiff weighing in at 91 lbs, and his ears are blissfully un-cropped, giving him an endearing look. This Gentle Giant thrives when there is clear leadership, which helps him feel secure. With confident guidance, Mountain walks beautifully on a leash and is crate trained. He enjoys lounging on his bed or relaxing on the patio. While he's friendly with dogs, he has a strong prey drive with cats and small wild animals, so he would do best in a cat-free home. Having been a stray with a canine companion, he has adjusted well to new dog friends. Mountain would benefit immensely from an experienced foster home that can provide him a quiet place to unwind as he prepares for his forever home. Who doesn’t want to hear the rhythm of a good snore? Mountain is currently in Houston, TX, and can be transported to most states for a $300 transport fee. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
