meet cherry pie ๐ available for adoption soon in New Orleans, LA. We are fundraising for her now; https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/cherry-pies-rescue-fund
10+ years old. 130 lbs. fully aware that if she just goes completely limp, total dead weight, nobody will fight her INTO the bath.
unfortunately for Cherry Pieโฆ i lift heavy. it's been a while since I deadlifted 130lbs but bb WE DID THAT and we DID NOT throw out our back ๐ช๐ผ
she smelled terrible, for the record. the bath was non-negotiable. I completely understand why she wins the bath argument every time.
but look at her now. ๐งผ
Cherry Pie, a gorgeous, sweet, quiet, loving mastiff, came to us from the LASPCA with a cherry eye, an ear infection, and a highly successful decade-long bath avoidance strategy. thanks to the amazing community at Skeeta Hawk Brewery trivia night who donated to our General Fund, we were able to pull her and get her initial care started.
she still needs:
- cherry eye surgery (~$1,000)
- dental cleaning for mild periodontal disease (~$800)
- medication to finish her ear treatment (it was a real bad one y'all, but she's on the mend)
can you help us?
she is sweet, she is gentle, she is opposed to hygiene โ and she deserves a family who will love her and also not let her win the bath argument. maybe two powerlifting adopters. With a hydraulic lift.
link in bio to help Cherry Pie get the surgical treatment she needs before she can go to her forever home ๐ฉท
Because Cherry Pie is a specialty breed, we are opening adoption applications early. Check out the link in our bio for her PetFinder Profile and to apply.

Interested in fostering? DM and let us know. She's a big girl and a couch potato, and would probably prefer to be the only pet in the home (Grizzy is demanding friendship and Cherry was a little bewildered by this).
