MEET MEATBALL — YES, THE NAME FITS.

Meatball is exactly what you would expect from a dog named Meatball: big, goofy, handsome, slightly ridiculous, and completely lovable.

This sweet meathead is actually more of a calm, mellow guy. He isn’t looking to run a marathon or solve complicated problems. His goals in life are pretty simple:

Eat good snacks.
Hang out with his people.
Play with a pretty girl dog.
Take a nap.
Repeat.

Meatball loves female dogs and would be happiest in a home with a large-breed female buddy he can romp around with. We haven’t tested him with male dogs yet.

Mabel came into the shelter as a stray with no one to call her own. But instead of letting that change her, she quickly became a volunteer favorite because of her happy, playful, social personality.

This sweet 3-year-old girl has so much going for her.

Very dog social

Good with cats

House trained

Crate trained

Best with kids 5+

Working on her leash manners

Mabel is the kind of dog who just wants to be part of a family. She wants someone to play with, someone to cuddle with, and a home where she knows she belongs.

She has already spent enough time wondering where her people are.

MEET HAROLD — BIG PUMPKIN HEAD ALERT! ❤️

My name is Harold, and I’m a stunning 2-year-old English Mastiff with a giant pumpkin head and the personality to match.

I am pretty much the epitome of a lazy English Mastiff. My dream life? Give me a comfy couch, a soft bed, some good snacks, and my people nearby, and I’m one happy boy.

I’m people friendly and dog friendly, and I could live with kids over the age of 6. I’m a big, strong Mastiff boy, though, so little humans can easily get knocked over by my oversized self.

Now… we need to talk about my leash manners.

My name is Bruce, and I’m about 3 years old. I’m a pretty calm, mellow guy who is just looking for a family to call my own.

What breed am I? Well… that’s still up for debate!
Cane Corso? Boerboel? Mastiff? Bullsomething.... A little bit of everything?

Whatever I am, one thing is for sure — I’m pure sweetness.

I’m house trained and crate trained, and overall, I’m just a really good boy. I don’t need to be the center of constant excitement. I’m perfectly happy hanging out with my people, relaxing, and enjoying the good life.

Since coming into rescue, I’ve also discovered something very important…

TREATS!

Travis was found as a stray, doing his best to get by on his own — and now he's ready for someone to give him the home he's always deserved.

This handsome boy is as easygoing as he is gorgeous. He walks great on a leash, already follows basic commands, and has been good with every dog he's met so far. Even sweeter? He's been cute and gentle with kids too — a real testament to the good heart he's carried through everything he's been on his own.

Travis is proof that a dog can come from nothing and still show up ready to love. All he needs now is a family willing to give him the structure and consistency to keep thriving.

MEET MAXIMUS — CAN YOU SAY HUGE HUNK OF LOVE?! That pretty much describes Maximus perfectly! Maximus is approximately 3½–4 years old and one seriously BIG, handsome boy. He was a shelter favorite in California, but when no one came for him, he ended up on the euthanasia list. Thankfully, we were able to get him out at the last hour. Maximus is past all those crazy puppy antics and is a pretty cool, calm and mellow guy. Female-dog friendly Has not yet been tested with male dogs Not dog reactive Does pretty well on a leash Not a jumper Mellow and easygoing Learning that treats are actually pretty awesome! So far, cow ears and bully sticks have definitely won his approval.

Madea is about 4 years old and came to us from a shelter in Northern California, where she was extremely scared, undersocialized and overwhelmed by the shelter environment. We were already there pulling another dog when we saw her, and we just couldn’t stand the thought of her losing her life simply because there were too many dogs and not enough space. Once you give Madea a little time to warm up, you discover the sweetest, gentlest little girl. House trained Calm and quiet Nice house manners Not destructive Male AND female dog friendly Loves to cuddle Gentle, soft personality Sadly, Madea has spent about 4½ months in boarding simply because we didn’t have an open foster space for her.

MEET GWEN!
Gwen is a beautiful Cane Corso with a sweet, soft temperament. She can be a little shy at first, but once she feels comfortable, her loving personality really comes through. ❤️
Gwen is: Crate trained House trained Dog friendly Great in the car Easygoing and gentle A total cuddle bug
She loves her chew toys and some of her favorite treats are cow ears, lamb ears, and chicken feet!
Gwen would love a home where she can feel safe, loved, and included as part of the family. She’s an easygoing girl with a gentle heart who just wants people of her own to cuddle with.

MEET MISS NOVA

Nova is a Cane Corso with a great personality, good with kids and good with dogs — a mom who's done an incredible job raising her girls and now deserves her own turn to be taken care of.

Someone get this queen her Gordita Crunch and her forever home. She's earned both.

❤️ MEET HAPPY GILMORE! ❤️
Gilmore is about 1 year old, a Mastiff mix, dog friendly, people loving, toy obsessed, and one of the happiest goofballs you’ll ever meet.
This sweet boy was dumped alone in an orchard in California’s Central Valley and survived nearly two weeks in coyote country before finally finding safety.
Now Gilmore is with AZ Mastiff Rescue, living with his foster BFF and continuing his training through board & train. He’s smart, eager to please, loves car rides, and is especially obsessed with BALLS!
Despite everything he survived, Gilmore absolutely LOVES LIFE.
He’s ready for the best chapter yet…
A forever family of his own.

Meet Charlotte!
Charlotte is a sweet, funny, feisty little bundle of love looking for her forever home! ❤️
This beautiful purebred female Cane Corso is crate trained, house trained, dog friendly, and easy on a leash. She loves spending time in playgroup with both male and female dogs and really enjoys having canine friends around.
Charlotte would do best in a home with at least one other dog. A male dog would probably be the easiest match, although a submissive female could also be a great fit with someone experienced in managing multiple dogs.
She would be fine with older kids, but because of her size and personality, no toddlers please.
Charlotte rides well in the car, loves her toys, and has excellent taste when it comes to snacks — her favorites are chicken feet, cow ears, and duck feet!
She’s equal parts silly, loving, and spirited and is ready for a family who appreciates everything there is to love about a Corso.

❤️ MEET TRAPPER — FROM TERRIFIED AND BROKEN TO READY FOR HOME ❤️
Trapper has been with AZ Mastiff Rescue for about a year and his transformation has been incredible.

When he came to us after being trapped in Rio Verde, he was skin and bones, terrified of people, and suffering from a dislocated hip. He wouldn’t allow anyone to touch him, so we spent weeks simply earning his trust before we could safely get him to the vet.

He eventually had hip surgery, healed beautifully, and has become an absolutely amazing Cane Corso.

Today, Trapper is about 2 years old, healthy, happy, and thriving. He is:

MEET MATER!
Mater is a 2-year-old male Cane Corso with the sweetest, most mellow personality. He has a wonderful middle-of-the-road temperament and is truly a gentle soul. ❤️
Mater is extremely dog friendly and is currently living with other dogs in his foster home. He enjoys canine companionship so much that we would love to see him placed in a home with another dog. In fact, this social butterfly once jumped the fence just so he could go play with the neighbor’s German Shepherd!
Mater is: House trained Crate trained Great with other dogs Rides well in the car Loves toys Sweet, mellow and affectionate An all-around amazing family dog
Mater’s story started in California, where he was abandoned and thankfully found by a Good Samaritan who made sure he was safe.

Meet Vader! This handsome 1year-old Cane Corso is exactly the kind of easygoing boy that makes a great first Corso. Vader lived in a home with several adults and multiple other dogs, and he did great with all of them — big dogs, small dogs, no drama, no stress. He's just along for the ride. Vader isn't a particularly driven or protective dog in the home, which makes him a wonderfully low-key presence for someone newer to the breed. He has no stranger danger and settles in easily — he even did well crate trained, though he can be a bit shy at first until he warms up. Vader's previous family made the tough decision to rehome him and a few of their other dogs after realizing they had taken on more than they could manage.

My name is Spot not sure why I was named that its a silly name but here we are. I have been in foster with a wonderful family and am looking for my forever home.

I thrive in a home with other dogs (both make and female) and know basic commands. Once I get my cherry eye fixed I will be even more hanbdsome!

Meet Bruce!

Bruce is a 8-month-old mastiff mix who is ready to steal your heart! This sweet boy is up to date on all his vaccinations and already crate trained — talk about a great start.

Bruce is food motivated, which makes him a joy to train, and he's already showing off his leash manners with lovely walks. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs — his current favorite friend is a young male pup he loves to play with.

Sophie is a cane corso puppy - thriving with her foster home and looking for her forever home!

Fully crate and potty trained
Dog friendly - she's getting along wonderfully with her foster brother, Major
Great with visitors - Her foster had contractors coming in and out of her house and Sophie handled all of the activity beautifully

MEET MOLLY!

Molly is a sweet female Cane Corso with so much love to give! ❤️

She is dog friendly and does well with kids over 7 years old. Molly could happily go into a home with another dog, but she would also be perfectly content as your one-and-only girl, soaking up all the love and attention for herself!

Molly is incredibly affectionate and loves her people. She enjoys going for walks, rides great in the car, and she’ll even let you dress her up. She’s just an easy girl to love and would make a wonderful companion for the right family.

Molly is ready for her forever home!

Because of her stronger Corso traits, she would do best with a submissive male dog or as the only dog in the home, where she can soak up all the attention. No cats or little dogs for her.She absolutely loves people and is socially appropriate, affectionate, and always happy to get pets and attention.

Meet River & Flora
These two beautiful girls have already survived so much together. River and Flora were found trapped in the LA River channel for over 48 hours, struggling just to stay on their feet. By the time they were finally rescued, they were exhausted and could barely walk.
Long Beach Animal Shelter stepped up for these sweet girls, and AZ Mastiff Rescue went to bring them to safety.
Their cherry eye surgeries are now done, and River and Flora are ready for their forever home. These girls are truly bonded — they eat together, sleep together, play together, and love each other so much. They are like two peas in a pod.
Flora is about 5–6 years old, and River is about 1–2 years old.
They are house trained, have nice house manners, are dog friendly, and are quiet, calm, mellow couch potatoes.

Meet Bam!

Bam is a 15-month-old giant goofy puppy, born February 2025, and he is ready to find his forever home. He is up to date on vaccinations, house trained, crate trained, playful, affectionate, and very people-oriented.

Bam truly thinks he is a lap dog in a giant body. He loves cuddles, rubs, naps, and being close to his people. He can have fun high-energy spurts like a big toddler, but overall he is a sweet, silly, emotionally connected boy who just wants to be loved.

Hi. I'm King — and with a name like that, you already know I'm kind of a big deal. Mostly the "big" part. I'm a large, handsome Dogue de Bordeaux mix with a beautiful light apricot coat, a magnificent oversized head, and the kind of presence that fills a whole room (and probably a whole couch).

But here's the secret about big, regal-looking boys like me: underneath all the grandeur, I'm a total softie. I've got a heart as enormous as the rest of me, and all I really want is to be loved and to love you right back. Royalty, it turns out, just wants belly rubs and good company like everybody else.

Meet Preston!

Preston is a happy-go-lucky boy who is about 2 years old and ready to find the right forever home. He is kennel trained, enjoys a good bone, and loves playing in play pools .

Preston does best with submissive female dogs only and would not be a good match for dominant dogs. He could also be happy as the only dog in the home with the right family. Because of his size and personality, older kids are best, if any .

Preston is looking for a home that understands him, gives him structure, and lets him settle in at his own pace.

Meet Mayflower!

Mayflower is a beautiful 3-year-old girl looking for her forever home. She is house trained, crate trained, and has wonderful house manners.

She is good with kids and loves everyone she meets. Mayflower is sweet, easygoing, and ready to be someone’s loyal companion.

Meet Diamond

Diamond is the beautiful momma of our recently placed Gem Litter, and now it is her turn to shine.

Diamond’s story was not an easy one. She was protective of her babies in the shelter, and because of that, she and her puppies almost paid the price. It was a struggle to get her and her babies safely out, but Diamond proved she was worth every bit of the fight.

Now that her babies have found their homes, Diamond is ready for her next chapter. She is dog friendly and is currently housed with another female Cane Corso named Annie. She loves everyone she meets and has such a sweet, loving personality.

Meet Bailey!

Bailey is a sweet 2 yr old female Bullmastiff who came to rescue after her owner sadly passed away. She and her best friend, Maverick , a handsome fawn Bullmastiff, suddenly found themselves needing a new forever home.

Bailey is house trained, loving, and wonderful with older kids. She is bonded with Maverick, and the two absolutely love being together. They enjoy companionship, comfort, and being close to their people.

Bailey and Maverick are looking for a home that will love them both and let them stay together where they belong. They are a beautiful pair with so much love to give.

Meet Bowser

This sweet, handsome boy came to us all the way from Illinois after being abandoned in a basement with a cat, a rabbit, and a female dog named Luna. By pure luck, we had volunteers close enough to help, and Bowser and Luna were able to make their way safely to Arizona.

Bowser came in covered in fleas, but even after everything he had been through, he was still so happy to be saved and so grateful to have people around him. He is truly a giant puppy with a sweet, loving soul.

Meet Brody
