"Rainbow Bridge."

La Tutela
"The Guardianship"

Founded in 1986 for the exclusive breeding and showing of Neapolitan Mastiffs, La Tutela continues today in the breeding of outstanding Neapolitans.

Our goal at La Tutela is to breed quality working dogs with type, excellent temperament, soundness, and intelligence for home companions and/or show prospects.

DOGS LIVE HERE
by David Lester, Humane Society Volunteer


If you don't want to be greeted with paws and swinging tails,
don't come inside---because DOGS live here.

If you don't like the feel of a cold nose or a wet tongue,
don't come inside---because DOGS live here.

If you don't want to step over many scattered toys,
don't come inside---because DOGS live here.

If you think that a home ought to smell like perfume,
don't come inside---because DOGS live here.

But if you don't mind all this, you will instantly be loved
when you do come inside---because DOGS live here.
