Mastiff Rescue of Virginia is a small volunteer-based organization whose mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome English Mastiffs (mixes) that are in need. Our volunteers are committed to providing Mastiff rescues with a renewed chance to live their best possible life.

​

We work in conjunction with other rescue groups, shelters, and private owners who need a safe place to surrender. While we are Virginia based, we assist organization in nearby states whenever we can.

​

Mastiffs accepted into our organization are vetted, medically assessed, altered (spayed/neutered), microchipped and placed in pre-approved foster homes until a suitable forever home is available.

Adoption process:

Applicants submit a completed adoptions application, no fee*. An application review is performed to include contacting veterinarians, past and present, as well as the personal reference provided. Once the initial review is complete, a home visit is scheduled between the applicant and a volunteer. Once the application has been approved completely and a match has been determined, the Meet & Greet! can be scheduled. This would be scheduled by the current foster, or a designated volunteer, with the applicant. We require all household members (human and four legged) be a part of this process. If a paw-fect fit has been determined, an adoption contract is completed and adoption fees are paid. The current fee* for adoption is $350.

Please note that some stages can be combined when circumstances allow
