I fell in LOVE with a Neopolitian Mastiff...

My husband and I both avid dog lovers were visiting a shelter when we came across a Black mammouth ball of fur, a neo mastiff. We played and pet him and fell so in love with him. We filled out the papers and waited our standard 5 day wait during wich time we visited him daily. We noticed he had a left runny eye and asked what was wrong with him they said that they would put ointment on his eye and that should take care of it. I also said that we would pay for waht ever it costed to treat him and make him better. They said no it was against there policy. Well we went on that fifth day to pick up our dog which we already named Baya which means beautiful in spanish. Anyway we got there and was informed that the eye infection was too bad and he would have to be put down.. I was outraged and I cried and begged them to let us take him to a vet they said no. Miami-Dade Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well anyway I would like to buy a neo does anyone know of any for sale or where I could find one? Thanks Becca

What a horrible story. I would go to the papers with that. What kind of "Rescue" facility won't allow animals to be rescued? :o( Very sad. Very sad indeed.

I would call the local tv station on that one.. What kind of "rescue" organization does something like that!!!! Neopolitan Mastiff's are a lot of dog!!!! they need lots of training. I'm a groomer came across two of them.. they need an owner that is just as strong willed as they are. Viv Mack
