I am looking for a dog lover with a big heart. I live in Perla Marina, near Sosua. A German man who has a house down the street was recently diagnosed with brain cancer, necessitating a probably permanent return to Germany. His neighbor was left with the responsibility of taking care of his two wonderful dogs, a male and female English mastiff. He has a smallish yard and two watch dogs already, so I agreed to "try" them.
After two days, I am disappointed to see that this won't work for me, either. I have a 14 pound pekanese/poodle who thinks HE owns the house and yard. Because he is so small and nervous, the relationship with the mastiffs is not blossoming.
So-Steven Bowcutt, the original caretaker for the German couple and I are looking for a good, loving home for these sweet dogs. Somewhere in the hills, where you might want good protection and have a big yard would be ideal. However, the original owners had a small house and yard. For them, the dogs were "house dogs." These dogs will both love you and protect you.
The dogs, Leo and Jeannie, are really nice. They are well behaved and respond to sit, stay, come, and NO in English, Spanish, and German. They are loving and devoted. They will sit just off the porch near wherever I happen to be. They are gentle. BUT- they will bark and raise their hair and tales when a stranger is coming on the property or is at the gate. Their size alone will ward off intruders. Their deep bark lets strangers know that this is no pussy cat.
Dr. Bob has been their vet. He came and checked them before I brought them to my house. Basically, they are in good shape. They just need to be around people and to have a home to watch.
Anyone who knows mastiffs knows that they are referred to as gentle giants who can intimidate without even being aggressive. But, if the time comes to protect the owner, watch out.
PLEASE, if anyone is interested in these dear dogs or if you know someone who might be interested in adopting them, do not hesitate to contact myself via a PM or by phone at (829) 686-1581 or Steven Bowcutt at (809) 545-6444.
