About Bane:

Do you love Mastiffs?  Do you love English Mastiffs?  If you know anything about them, you will quickly see that this big guy is your typical friendly, goofy, sensitive, and slobbery lover.  He lived in a home with a family that had children his entire life, but he had to stay with immediate family members for an 8 month stint and during that time it is believed the may have been physically abused.  He returned to his home showing some reserved and fearful behaviors, something that he had never shown before, so his family felt they needed to give him up. Since he arrived at our rescue, we first noticed that he truly is a goofball with a smile a mile wide.  He just wants what every dog wants … love and attention.  We also noticed that he loves playing with other dogs, something his prior owners said he did not like to do.  We have witnessed him being fearful but moving slowly, not forcing him into anything, and showing patience is all he needs.  Because of his size, he is probably better suited for teenagers and older, and we prefer he goes to a family with mastiff experience because he is strong and needs some training with loose leash walking.  But overall, this guy is a giant teddy bear that needs another a chance with a family or person who will take it slow and give him time to acclimate in a new home.  Could that be you?
