Southern States Mastiff Rescue

- Welcome to Southern States Mastiff Rescue -

We cover the states of Virginia, North & South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi

We place Old English Mastiffs that have been abandoned, turned in to shelters, strays, and accept dogs into the rescue program from persons unable to care for their mastiff physically and/or financially. To date, we have rescued and placed over thirteen - hundred English Mastiffs.

*We do not accept any dogs that have shown past aggression towards people or other animals.

Whether you are interested in adopting a Mastiff, becoming a SSMR foster family or just visiting to learn more about mastiffs we hope you will enjoy browsing through our website. Please note: we are only able to adopt out and accept into our program pure bred English Mastiffs from VA, NC, SC, GA, AL, TN or MS.

SSMR is a 501(c)(3) organization and continues to exist only through the many hours of work our volunteers provide and through the generous financial support of donors and grant organizations.

If you have an English Mastiff that you are considering surrendering to SSMR, please remember that we only accept dogs from a limited geographic area-VA, NC, SC, GA, MS, AL and TN and only purebred English Mastiffs. We cannot accept dogs that have demonstrated aggression towards people or animals
