Hi guys, I've been looking for tm rescues in my area but the closest one ive found is in Delaware, anyone know any closer by?

Well, I don't actually know where any of these dogs are located but: Tibetan Mastiff Rescue, Inc.

I'd suggest checking with breeders to see if they have any adults in need of homes.

Also as of a few weeks ago there was a 2yr old female in Ontario in need of a home, I can put you in contact with the rescue who has her, but I'll warn you that they've got some pretty strict requirements for her new home.

TM experience prefered, LGD experience acceptable.
She is crate trained, but they don't want a home where she'd be crated for more than 4hrs regularly
6ft fence
To start with anyway, from there you'd have to discuss with the rescue for more specifics

She's fairly hyper and destructive, possibly lacking in training, and will dig and will run if given a chance.

Hmm, maybe, although the hardest I've trained was a malmute, also trained golden

Any LGD or at least primitive experience? Neither a malamute or a golden seriously compares to a TM.

Ah, donno if they'll take that or not. I sent off an email to see if the female is still availible, if so I'm willing to pass on your email and you can make your case.

We are not ready to adopt yet, I wanted to get in contact with a rescue early, Im planning to wait until August when I sell off a property I own just in case a new dog comes with some pricy bills.

Ah, well, I PMed the rescue's contact email to you. Go ahead and contact her, if she decides you'll work then she may be able to steer a dog to you when it comes in.
