Hi everyone! My name is Magnum, nice to meet you!
I was rescued by Off The Chain after my owners abandoned my brother & I in a council pound. We don't know why our owner did that, but I guess I'm just another of the hundreds of dogs yearly that are dumped when we aren't cute puppies anymore. It's their loss- I am an amazing dog that will make a loyal friend for my new family!
Since coming into care, I have proven to be a lovely, friendly boy, who really deserves a second chance at life. It is clear I haven't always had someone care for me, and have learned to fear humans at times; if you raise your voice at me, I will sometimes drop to the floor and try to disappear into it, or roll onto my back in submission. I don't have a mean bone in my body, so my foster carers are working on building trust and confidence so I don't have to watch my back so much.
I currently live with adult humans, and a large adult male dog. I get along great with everyone here. I can be a little nervous around new humans but quickly learn that there are more friends than foes, now that I've reached rescue!
I travel well in the car, and enjoy doing zoomies in the yard. Dinner makes my world go round...you'll often find me sitting and waiting patiently for you at the spot where I get fed, apparently even before it's food time!
I spend about 5hrs a day home alone with the other dog, while my humans are away. I just hang out and play with him, and keep myself busy. I get excited when everyone is home, but I also don't mind entertaining myself while they're gone, and don't fret as long as I have another dog for company.
I am a typical dog; if you don't give me quality toys and mental stimulation, I will learn to make my own fun- so don't leave your shoes in my space, or I will think they're there for me to play with! I sleep inside at night, with the other dog. I am getting used to my walks; at first they scared me but as with everything, consistency and confidence is key!
I currently live behind a 4ft fence and would need the same in my new home to keep me safe. I would also prefer to have a dog friend to keep me company. I would prefer not to live with little kids as they can be very noisy and scare me, and it won't help my confidence! I was beautifully natured at the vet clinic, and even though it was obvious I haven't had much medical care until OTC saved me, and I was a bit nervous- I still happily let them feed me treats and do what they needed. I know how to come, sit, lay down,stay, go to bed, and we are working on wait. I am a bit of mix of breeds, but definitely some mastiff in there, mixed with maybe wolfhound or staghound- who knows, who cares- I'm a lovely doggo with a huge heart! I am currently just over 30kg at 8 months old, so will likely be around 35kg as an adult.
So what do you think- do I sound like the match for you? If so, please apply to adopt me asap. A friendly boy like me won't be around long!

Adoption details
Before applying, please consider and finalise the following:
- Real estate approval
- Fence requirements
- Outside shelter areas
- Other resident pets fully vaccinated and preferably desexed
- The rescue pet's dietary requirements eg large breed vs medium breed, age
- Enrichment, exercise and training needs of pet you are applying for
- If you have not read our adoption process below in full, please do not apply until you have.
Once you are ready to adopt, please complete the OTC Adoption Application questionnaire below. This is not a contract or agreement of any kind, just an expression of interest in the animal. We will not authorise meets unless this has been completed and only approved applicants may meet the animal. Once you are approved and have submitted all relevant information, we will organise for you to meet the pet. We will not contact you if you do not complete the form in full AND provided the required photos of yard/fencing within 48hrs. Photos may be sent to our facebook page, or email offthechaink9rescue@outlook.com
DOG ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OTCadoptionapp
If you apply to adopt but require us to hold the pet more than 3 days before meeting, we will ask you for a non-refundable holding deposit of $100. If you are unwilling to put a deposit on the pet, we will continue to advertise and speak with other potential adopters. If you follow through with adoption after your meet, the $100 holding deposit is then subtracted from the outstanding adoption fee, which is to be paid at collection of the pet. Eg if full adoption fee is $450, and you place a $100 holding fee on the animal- the day you collect the pet you will sign an adoption contract and pay the remaining $350 fee.
All animals are adopted out with vaccinations up to date; any vaccinations due from date of adoption are the ethical and financial responsibility of the adopter. During the trial period, should the pet become ill, you must notify OTC, and present it to the OTC-approved vet clinic we direct you to in your area. OTC will cover any treatment needed at our authorised clinics.
Ready to roll? Then fill out the application form, and we will be in contact to successful applicants asap. Feel free to follow us up via Facebook page inbox. (www.facebook.com/offthechaink9)
