Meet Bixby – A Gentle Giant with a Heart of Gold

Bixby is a soulful, sweet rescue Mastiff who will steal your heart the moment you meet him. This big boy is a gentle, loving presence in his foster home and the very definition of a loyal companion. If you’re a Mastiff lover, prepare to fall head over heels.

Bixby has been nothing short of amazing since arriving in foster care. In a full week, with complete access to furniture, shoes, and plants, he hasn’t destroyed a single thing. He’s fully house-trained, respectful in the home, and a calm, comforting presence. He isn’t a barker, only speaking up when something needs your attention — truly a quiet protector.

He loves water and being brushed, adores sunbathing, and is a champion napper. Bixby enjoys mealtime with gusto — sometimes a little too much excitement — so his foster is helping him work on polite food manners. He knows some basic commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “get back,” and he’s doing well with routines.

One thing to know about Bixby is that he’s very scared of loud noises like fireworks. A recent scare left him shaken, and he needed some gentle coaxing and comfort to feel safe again. His forever family will need to be patient and understanding, especially around noisy events.

While Bixby is nearly perfect at home, leash walking is still a work in progress — he’s a bit of a mess on walks! But with the right person, and a little patience, there’s no doubt this boy will blossom. We believe someone gave up on him too soon, and he’s ready for someone who won’t.

Bixby is the kind of dog who makes you feel lucky to be loved by him. He’s ready to bring peace, affection, and a whole lot of heart to his forever home.
