BellaDonna-Arkansas- adult, female

This is one of my buddies

I need my tan to be even!

Currently being fostered in Arkansas: 

And now, down to a fit weight of 127lbs...... BELLA!!!!  Way to get her fit, momma Becka ;-)

Hello,

My name is BellaDonna.  I am a grey Cane Corso and I am even more beautiful in person!!  So, here is a little bit about me.  My previous family raised me from 10 mos (I am now 4yrs old).  I grew up with kids, and a small dog (yup, how many Corsos do you know that are gentle with a yorkiepoo?!).  I really am a good girl and I do love people.  It takes me a few minutes to warm up to strangers (I am a Corso!!!), but once I know you, I trust you.  I am a typical female Corso, so I do want to be the head female dog in your house.  Because of this,  I would do best in a home with a male dogs only.   Again, I like dogs (remember the yorkiepoo I used to live with!!!), I just want to be the boss. ;-) As you can see, I am also good with cats!  Another unique characteristic for a Corso.  So, if you have cats, I AM YOUR GIRL!!  Wait, back to my story..... so my Dad had to take a job, last minute, spur of the moment, fly by the seat of his pants.  You see, he's a welder.  So, wherever they need him, he has to go immediately.  My mom said she couldn't keep me, the kids, and the yorkiepoo :-(, so GUESS WHO GOT THE BOOT??  You got it... I did!  It's not fair..... I am the most loyal in the family AND I am the guardian of the family.  I was devastated.  Dad wanted to take me, but he said that a travel trailer is no place for a Cane Corso :-(

Honestly, this is what I do best.  I am such the perfect dog... I play and sleep!

So, my Dad called the Rescue and asked if they would take me into their program.  I got transported to an awesome foster home in Louisiana.  The only problem is that I am a bit too much for my little canine foster sister.  She just doesn't play with me like the yorkiepoo used to.  And then, I just can't help myself... I antagonize her.  So, sadly, though my foster mom thinks the world of me... I have to get into another situation where the other dog in the house isn't so stressed.  Maybe I would fit into your family?  How can you resist a gorgeous grey Corso that is good with KIDS, DOGS, and CATS?!  Come on... fill out an  application to adopt me!

Regal Rianna- NY- adult female

I am such a lovely, Italian lady.

Currently being fostered in NY:

Hello, my name is Rianna and I am 4 years young ;-).  My story is pretty unusual, so here goes....  I am not your typical Cane Corso Rescue dog.  You see, I lived with a family that loved me.  Let me start from the very beginning.

I am truly Italian!!   My human mom traveled to Palermo, Sicily to hand pick me from the liter.  See, I told you I was special!!  Now, this was the 2nd Corso for my family, so they really love my breed. 

So, are you ready for the tear jerker part of my story?!  My family decided to move.  Great, no problem, I packed up my stuff too.  It was a bit upsetting to see everyone packing up all their stuff.  But,  I just went with the flow.  I packed my favorite bones, toys, blankets, pillows.... I even found bones hidden in places I had forgotten about (teehee).  Then one day, a lady came to my door.  I did my typical greeting of a bark at the door.  My mom told me she was a friend and I let her pet me.  She was super nice.  She took me on a short walk and she talked to my mom for long time about me.  She asked all kinds of questions, even really personal ones!  Then, it happened.  I have heard of this happening, but I never thought it would happen to me.   Do you know that my mom let this lady take me?  WHERE AM I GOING, MOM?  I didn't understand.  My packed boxes were still inside.  I didn't get to say goodbye......  Now that I think about it, my mom didn't even say goodbye to me.  And my siblings.... they just watched as I walked out the door :-(. 

I know all that sounds sad, but honestly, I LOVE where I am living now.  I was very sad to be taken from my family..... I never thought they would take everything, but ME. :-(  But, it is what it is.  My new mom keeps telling me that she is "just" my foster mom until I find another family of my very own.  I really don't want to leave, but I would love to be the center of attention.  Right now, I am living with another male Corso and a female golden retriever.  I am not crazy about either of them, but I definitely like my foster brother better. 

This is my "best" side!  LOL

My foster mom says that I really need to work on my play skills ( I admit, my foster brother is scared of me.  I kinda like it... )  BUT, my previous family never let me play with other dogs.  Nope, anytime I would try to play with another dog, they would pull me away (my foster mom tells me it's because a previous Corso they owned, didn't like other dogs.  So, they just assumed I wouldn't like dogs either). I would like to be an only dog, however, if proper training and integration, I could most likely be integrated into a family with a young, male large breed dog. But, again, I would love to be an only dog.

As for training.... I have a lot! I walk great on a leash.  I am fully house trained and don't even have to be crated.  I even know how to use a doggie door.  I am healthy, current on all my vaccinations, heart worm negative, spayed, and READY to go home with you. Oh, by the way, my birthday is on August 6th...... ALL I WANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY IS A FAMILY TO LOVE ME!!!

Lovely Lucky- TX adult, female - ADOPTION PENDING!!!

Currently being fostered in TX:

Lovely Lucky is one of 4 Cane Corso Mastiffs dumped at a TX shelter just a few days before the Thanksgiving holiday.  The vet located a microchip registered to Canton Cane Corso Kennels (TX) in Lucky (and one other female)  All phone numbers were called to let this breeder know we had their dogs.  Luckily, there was no response, so the dogs were handed over to rescue.  These dogs will never be bred again!! They will live great lives as indoor, family companions. Lucky is a fabulous dog and we just don't understand why anyone would dump her (might I add that they left her in the "night drop" :-( ). Lucky is a gorgeous blue brindle, aged 3-4yrs old, and boy does she have energy. She runs around the yard, smiling (yes, she really does smile)! If you throw a ball or toy for her, she will race to get it. Now, sometimes the toy comes back and other times the toy is left behind and you get slapped with a wet, Corso kiss. She is crate trained, house broken, and absolutely wonderful with people.   Lucky walks beautifully on a leash and rides well in the car.
