More about Livia

Our Royal Mastino, Livia, is doing well in her experienced foster home, but continues to dream of a family and home of her own.  Princess Livia (as she prefers to be called) is a fit 4-year-old typical strong willed female Neapolitan Mastiff. She balances out her play time with heavy snoring naps. Preferably somewhere with a soft bed or thick blanket. Livia is housebroken and crate trained, though she will give you side-eye if the crate contains insufficient treats to lure her in. She is indeed a princess. Her ideal home would have a large male dog to play with and a fenced yard. Livia loves to patrol her yard snuffling and watching for anything new going on in her neighborhood. She is learning there is enough food and human attention in her foster homes so that she doesn't need to resource guard. She loves belly rubs, rump scratches and neck wrinkle massages and doesn't hesitate to request them from her favorite people. Being brushed is a nice way to express your love to her, but Livia LOVES to be vacuumed! Due to her forward attitude and roughness Livia needs to be in a household with no cats and an only dog unless you are an experienced owner. Livia is learning leash manners as she is very strong on the leash when distracted. Livia is a lovely girl that bonds quickly with whomever she claims as her person.
