Introducing Hero: A Shy, Loving Pup in Need of a Patient Home
Meet Hero, a one-year-old Cane Corso Lab mix who is looking for a special family to help him grow into the confident, loving companion he’s meant to be. Hero may be a bit shy and fearful at first, but once he builds trust, he will reward you with loyalty and love like no other. He may need some time to adjust, but with patience and understanding, Hero will show you his true, sweet nature.
While Hero is still working on overcoming his fears, he has the potential to be a wonderful companion for the right person or family. He has lived with other dogs in the past and may do well with another dog after a proper meet and greet. However, he will need a slow introduction to new environments and people, and his new family should be prepared to guide him through this journey.
Training & Behavior Needs:
Hero is a bit of a work-in-progress when it comes to training, but with consistency, he is sure to thrive. He will benefit from an experienced owner who can help him develop confidence and teach him the basics. Here’s what you should know about Hero’s training needs:
Building Confidence: Hero is a fearful dog who takes time to warm up to new people and situations. His ideal family will be patient and allow him to adjust at his own pace. Once he feels safe and secure, Hero will blossom into a loving, loyal friend.
Leash Training: Hero is still learning to walk calmly on a leash and may pull in excitement or anxiety. With continued training and positive reinforcement, Hero can improve his leash manners and enjoy walks with confidence. He may need some time to adjust to new environments, so slow, controlled walks in quiet areas will be best for him.
Resource Guarding: Hero has shown signs of resource guarding, particularly when it comes to treats. His new family should be prepared to work with him on this behavior and implement strategies to address it. Positive reinforcement training and patience will help Hero understand boundaries and feel more secure in his new home.
Socialization: Hero has lived with other dogs in the past and may be fine with a canine companion once he’s had a proper introduction. He would benefit from a gradual introduction to new dogs, as he can be shy and overwhelmed. Hero has not been tested with cats, so his new family should be prepared for a cautious approach in that area as well.

We require potential adopters to fill out an pre-adoption application. If that application is approved, the dog/cat must be spayed/neutered before it leaves our shelter (if not already done). If it is a puppy under 4 months old, we allow it to go home with the adopters under a foster care agreement until it is old enough to be returned for spay/neuter. Kittens are allowed to leave before spay/neuter is done, but they must be done within a certain time frame.
Fees: Dogs/puppies range from $150-300, depending on if they came in already spayed/neutered or if we paid to have that done.
Cats range from $80 - $140, though we often have deals on older cats or cats that have been there a long time.
Kittens are $60 with $25 refunded once it has been spayed/neutered.
All adoptions include at least the first vaccination, deworming, de-fleaing, microchip ID, and 6 weeks of pet insurance.
