Mastiff Rescue operates on fundraising from 3 major fundraisers (2 rummage sales and Deponte Cellar’s wine event), Petco has participated with the “Breeds in Need” fundraiser and pictures with Santa. Carlton Veterinary Hospital provides wonderful veterinary care and Buchannan Cellars gives us discounts. We also have some wonderful doggie foster care providers that allow us to try and meet the needs of the dogs in need of a new home. It has been because of the support of all of you that we are able to rescue and place the dogs we do. All of us with Mastiff Rescue thank you for your support and wish you a Happy New Year.
