MARLEY .....

Birth year, 1996. Marley is a female brindle English Mastiff who was first rescued at the age of 4 from a breeder who was surrendering all her dogs, and then she was adopted and stayed in her adoptive home for 5 years until she was 9 years old. She developed urinary incontinence, kidney failure, and diabetes insipidus, and was welcomed to the retirement home when she was nine years old when her adoptive owner was not able to provide Marley with the senior care she required. At this writing, Marley is 13 years old and can still go into a full run and lets mom know if she is a minute off of feeding time. She sure can wet a bed, but that is never any fault of her own - that is what the laundry is for! Marley does not wag her tail, but she shows her happiness in other ways, like dancing for her meal and giving her paw for more when you stop petting her. .....

BESSY JEAN

Birth year, 1999. Bessy Jean is a female fawn English Mastiff who was rescued when she was 2 years old from a local puppymill. She exhibited serious separation anxiety in a couple of brief adoptive homes, and decided she liked the foster home the best. Bessy has welcomed in so many needy dogs into the foster/retirement home and serves as a momma figure to old ones and young ones alike. Bessy as a rule takes her walk twice a day with mom and the gang. She enjoys taking naps in front of the cool air conditioner. If she sees any sort of "round disc in the sky" such as the moon or the sun shrouded by clouds, she will woof it away and raise her hackles while doing so - it is comical. She is gentle and sweet, gives paw relentlessly and also does one of the most forceful "leans" of any mastiff we have known.

WINNIE

Birth year, 2001. Winnie is a newcomer to our retirement home program. She was welcomed into a fabulous home where she can spend her senior years in comfort and with love and adoration each day. As Winnie's new mom gets to know her better, we will provide more about her personality - her likes, dislikes, triumphs and other aspects of her personality that shine. Did you notice her lovely curly ears? So cute! Winnie requires daily incontininence medication; would you consider sponsoring her medication needs for a month? Learn how to do so at this link: SPONSOR WINNIE 8/2009: Here is an update about how Winnie is doing: "Winnie is doing great she is such a sweet sweet dog. Its amazing how active she is. I usually go for a morning walk and that ole gal is right there along my side with the rest of the gang chasing cats, birds and rabbits and boy she can move. She is so happy with her new life and we are happy to see her joyous face every day." .....
