Rescue Information
The Canadian Mastiff Rescue operates as a referral service, matching dogs in need with potential adopters. We do not have a facility to take in surrendered or homeless animals.
Rehome:
If you have a purebred Mastiff that you are wanting to rehome please complete our “In Need” form below. There is a $20 fee for this service. Upon receipt, one of our Rescue Coordinators will be in touch with you. We screen homes for suitability and check references of potential adopters. We make no guarantees of adoption.
If you have a Mastiff mix or alternate Mastiff breed that you are wanting to rehome we can publish a courtesy posting on our Facebook page for interested parties to contact you directly. The owner can email a short write up along with photos of the dog to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

CMC Rescue is run by volunteers, out of our homes. We do not have a shelter or kennel facility. We are involved in rescue because we love the breed. However, we also have homes, families, dogs, jobs, travel and outside hobbies/interests. We work our rescue activities around busy schedules, so please be patient and realistic about timelines for returning calls or emails.
Please note - unless you are provided with registration papers, we cannot guarantee that any Mastiff in rescue is purebred.

There are a few things you may want to consider before adopting a Mastiff:
- they will need training and time to adjust -some dogs come with baggage and may have behavioural issues
- they DROOL!!!!!!!!
- they can be strong-willed/stubborn
- they are extremely strong -they can be clumsy and could accidentally knock over a small child
- they shed, and because of their size there is a lot of hair
- they eat a considerable amount of food
- the cost of vet bills are more due to their size
