Before You Rescue Neapolitan Mastiff dogs

The very definition of the word humane

characterized by tenderness, compassion, and sympathy for people and animals, esp. for the suffering or distressed: humane treatment of horses.

originating from the very word that defines us “human”, plays a vital role in our impulse to rescue any living animal and to come to it’s assistance.

While this is a characteristic showing great moral attributes, it is arguably a way of helping to enable irresponsible breeding, ownership (most cases) and selling of the Neapolitan Mastiff breed.

In the United States and Great Britain millions of dogs are euthanized in a endless cycle of supply and demand, with little oversight and lack of education to the general public. What a better solution to the puppy millers and unethical suppliers than endless lines of rescue owners ready to adopt their next Neapolitan Mastiff. Therefore the question remains, are you helping the situation or enabling a system of churning out dogs for a profit? How many of us have given a dollar to a homeless person begging for money on a traffic light? The sign say’s “for food”, yet we perfectly know that the money will likely be used for something else. But perhaps this is not such a bad thing, ex-US Surgeon General Vice Admiral C. Everett Koop, USPHS created quite a controversy when he admitted he would give money to a homeless man even if he knew that money was for buying a bottle of liquor, “anything to help him get through the day”.

The best way to support the breed and look out for the breeds best interest is to study, research, and buy your Neapolitan Mastiff from an ethical Neapolitan Mastiff breeder. This however is not the only way, truth be told, whether you are enabling or not, the wellness of an individual dog in rescue can not be denied. Therefore if you are looking to save a Neapolitan from rescue, you are in fact helping the need of that individual dog.
