After careful consideration, my family decided it was time for us to get a new dog.  We knew we wanted to adopt a Mastiff so we searched on line for different large breed adoption agencies.  We applied to a few of them and right away, we were most impressed with West Coast Mastiff Rescue. WCM immediately responded to our application and were happy to answer any and all questions we had about the adoption process.  They  acted professionally from the start.  Even though WCM had several dogs that were adoptable, we weren't sure any of them were the right fit for our family. We knew that our new dog would become a member of our family and be a part of our lives for several years.  It was very important to us that we didn't just get any dog; we wanted the right dog.  WCM was never concerned that we were being too "picky" about our dog. They absolutely wanted the same thing, not only for us, but for their dogs as well.  As new dogs meeting our criteria became available, WCM contacted us.  They worked with us until we found the perfect dog for our family.  After only a couple of weeks, we met a beautiful English Mastiff named "Thor".  We arranged to meet Thor and decided to foster him for a week to make sure he was a good fit for us.  During that week, we were able to see our veterinarian to discuss any concerns we had.  WCM disclosed all of Thor's medical history and background to us.   We very quickly fell in love with Thor and made his adoption official.  We are thrilled that we decided to use WCM's services to get our new dog.  The entire process was easy, professional and organized. WCM has been absolutely wonderful to work with.  It is quite obvious that they really do want what is best not only for the dogs but for your family as well.  If you are considering adopting a large breed dog, we urge you to use West Coast Mastiff Rescue.  If given the chance, they will find the perfect dog for you!
