About Sarge
Our big boy Sarge is now ready to sniff out his new and dedicated home.
Sarge is a 2 year old desexed male Neopolitan Mastiff that is a Wannabe lapdog!!
Sarge loves nothing more than a snuggle on the couch outside and hanging out with his humans. Sarge has been an outdoor dog, so would need some training to be an indoor family member.
Sarge is a gentle boy but doesn't realise how big and strong he really is, therefore he is not suitable for a home with children. Older teenagers / young adults would be fine. Sarge has not been around cats, pocket pets or other dogs.
We have found bath's are a strong 'NOPE' for Sarge at this time 🤣, but with patience he will become more tolerant of them. 🙃 Sarge is agile in jumping out of the bath before the water even hits his body.
In line with his breed, Sarge has a big deep bark and will alert you to anything out of the ordinary. Sarge is a little uncertain of other dog's and will bark at them so he will need some work in this area but he has progressed well in his time in foster care.
Sarge will bond very quickly and strongly with his new family ... he appears to be very comfortable with females and takes a little longer with men to be comfortable.
Sarge will need a home that has big dog experience, and without fear of slobber 🤭🤭
He can be vocal (sound's like a fire siren ) if he thinks he is missing out on family activities, but will settle once told to settle down.
Sarge needs work on leash walking, but has progressed well since being in care. This big boy is beautiful, but needs a home willing to put in some hard yards.
Sarge has been flea and worm treated, vaccinated, desexed and microchipped. His adoption fee is $650.00

Adoption details
We like to take the personal approach where a person sends an email of interest around an animal and then we will follow up with phone discussions and email exploration through a survey.
Please note we are a small group of volunteers that balances the administrative side with the care of the animals.
Please only apply for one of our animals if you are genuinely interested in them.
We expect the prospective owner to travel to meet the animal and we are open to trial periods to ensure we have the match right.
