PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.

****URGENT**** At risk of euthanasia! Central AR foster or adopter needed ASAP!!

Still in need as of 8/19/25!

❤️‍❤️‍ Who remembers, Balerion, the big cuddly Neapolitan Mastiff we rescued last summer? ❤️‍❤️‍

He was adopted by an adoring family who is heartbroken to realize that their home is not the right fit for him. He has started to show aggression towards other dogs in the home. His aggression is towards other dogs only, never people. It seems to be out of protecting his people and/or some jealousy. 

Balerion is a big boy and doesn’t understand how huge he is, and loves to show affection with his paws. This could result in him inadvertently harming a small child. Therefore his family suggests a home with no small children. 

He is in need of a home with no cats, no other dogs, and no small children. If we’re unable to provide this, he could be facing euthanization. We do NOT come to that decision quickly, or easily. Help us find him a home so that we can completely eliminate that from the equation.

He is approximately 1 1/2 years old, neutered, vaccinated, and on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. The Neapolitan Mastiff is a large and powerful guardian. They can be wary of strangers, and very protective of their people. This breed requires an experienced owner who is a firm, strong leader, that will set boundaries.

Located in Arkansas. We’d prefer to keep him in AR but may be willing to transport him to the northeast to the right home. For transport- Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them at one of the following times/locations.

Harrisburg, PA 2am Saturdays
Port Jervis, NY 5am Saturdays
Southington, CT 8am Saturdays
