ADOPTED 10-23-10 – AND here is WOODY, the estimated 11 mos old Bullmastiff, who was sadly Heartworm Positive, but finally finished treatment to rid his not-so-little body of the dastardly worms that plagued his heart because his previous owners neglected to provide him with the monthly preventatives that would have made this reality impossible. Unfortunately, in rescue, we see this ALL TOO OFTEN, so we educate and promote not only SPAY and NEUTER as often as possible, but advocate for responsible and humane pet ownership. It’s the ONLY WAY! Our esteemed and devoted trainer, Randy, refers to WOODY as a “LARGE WALKING FOOT STOOL” and then chuckles heartily. Under a year he already weighs close to 95 pounds, and we suspect in the upcoming months, especially after his heartworms have been successfully treated, he’ll continue to grow, put on more GROCERIES and get to above 100 pounds!
True to the breed’s appearance, this fawn-colored young male known to us fondly as” WOODY” has those droopy ears, wrinkled face and a short smooth coat and long tail that are so endearing. And, what’s more, “WOODY IS HILARIOUS,” according to Randy. He remarks that WOODY is “extremely muscular, totally loveable, playful and an absolute GREAT DOG! What’s more, he will have you in stitches all the time with his little antics!” He runs straight towards our trainer Randy, apparently and does this sort of base slide to stop himself when he gets close. Randy had to slow down his talk and repeat himself as he was relaying the story because he was laughing so hard. GREAT DOG MEDICINE, clearly . . .
And it’s what we all need, and why we absolutely LOVE THIS BREED, and so do many other folks, understandably!
Found as a stray roaming the streets this beautiful and BIG Bullmastiff was rescued from the Magnolia Springs High Kill Shelter and has just the “best personality ever.” Anybody that knows Woody will tell you, “Be careful, his favorite thing to do is sit in your lap and turn over and have his belly scratched.” And it’s true. We’ve never met a dog who would be more content with that than eating or running — though, our boy does enjoy his romping and playing and long leisurely strolls where he can be the CENTER OF YOUR WORLD! WOODY is so incredibly sweet and loving that he’d prefer a kind caress over all else — even food! Like most of us in life, he just wants love! But you DO KNOW the kind of dog we’re talking about here, right? It’s the one that WINS YOU OVER INSTANTLY?
We’ve had WOODY around children, cats and other dogs and have yet to find anything he’s uncomfortable with in his presence. He’d NEVER initiate anything aggressive, but were a dog to pounce on him, he’d likely not hesitate with his big large self to show them he’s a competent boy and not just some good-looking, gorgeous ROMEO of a dog to throw around! BIG WINK! Simply put, WOODY would be an ideal family dog. Like all Bullmastiffs, Woody is a natural guardian. He doesn’t bark much, but when he does, it’s usually because there’s someone around.
The keen expression on his big square head which is darker in color than the rest of his body conveys the reliable intelligence and devotion of the Bullmastiff. Those soft, fun-loving eyes melt you instantly, and you know that this powerfully built and amazingly symmetrical and special dog wants nothing more than to BE LOVED and CHERISHED as a PRIZED family companion. Although confident, WOODY is so docile and sweet-natured and attaches himself intensely to the people he shares his life with, and is enjoying being well-socialized and trained while he endures his HW treatment. Simply put, WOODY FINALLY READY to make a special family the BEST BULLMASTIFF BUDDY around! That’s ALL THAT IS POSSIBLE for this guy given how deeply and willingly he LOVES EVERY THING AND EVERY ONE! If you’re looking for a Bullmastiff composed of LOVE — that’s WOODY — his HEART BEING THE STRONGEST THING ABOUT HIM — no matter that some damn Heartworms are taking up temporary residence there. Although, he is STRONGER THAN THOR, and you have to be able to navigate him — is that you? If so, WOODY IS READY TO SLIDE RIGHT INTO YOUR HEART — so make room! He’s a BIG BEAUTIFUL GUY!
