You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER: Bjorn HISTORY: Bjorn was found as a stray in Rochester, NY, and taken to a local animal shelter. Unfortunately, he was never claimed. He spent about three weeks in the shelter before coming to his foster home through Mastiffs to Mutts. PERSONALITY: Bjorn LOVES his people - so much that he wants to be with you all of the time. He is a true velcro dog. Typical of his breed, he is protective of the house and his people and will alert-bark at strangers or new people entering the home. With some treats and reassurance, however, he is able to accept strangers. Bjorn is completely housebroken and non-destructive when left alone. He likes his stuffies and will grab one to show you when you walk through the door. He also enjoys bones and deer antlers. Additionally, Bjorn loves his food! He eagerly sits and waits for a ‘go eat’ before eating. He is respectful of ‘people food’ and will not try to steal yours or counter surf. Bjorn is allowed on the furniture in his foster home and often sleeps in bed with his favorite person. Warning - he snores like a freight train! He comfortably sleeps through the night until it’s time to wake up in the morning. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Bjorn loves being with his people - wherever that might be. He also enjoys spending time exploring the yard with his foster sister, a great dane. Cuddling on the couch at night time is something that Bjorn looks forward to the most, and he thinks he is a lap dog! MEDICAL ISSUES: N/A WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Bjorn would do best is a home with mastiff experience who understands the slight reactivity to strangers. Because of this, older children would be recommended. He would love to live with another canine, as well!

The most beautiful, stunning, perfectly well behaved gentle giant !! Moose is in doggy daycare and has proven himself a perfect gentleman. He was actually purchased from a breeder as a puppy, and the family has a baby on the way, and do not have the time to commit to moose, which is why they trusted us to find him a wonderful and suitable forever home. He's neutered, UTD on vaccines , microchipped , walks beautifully on leash and eats 8 cups of food a day!

Adopting a Cane Corso

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Cane Corso - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

Adopting a Cane Corso is much more affordable than buying one from a breeder. The cost to adopt a Cane Corso is around $300 (which covers the expenses of caring for them before adoption). In contrast, purchasing a Cane Corso from a breeder may cost anywhere from $1,500 to $4,000.

The easiest way to adopt a Cane Corso is through a rescue that specializes in them. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet. This search will show you all the available Cane Corsos in your area.

Cane Corso fun facts

Fun Facts:

Cani Corsi are bred down from Neapolitan Mastiffs and Molessers, which were Ancient Greece's big-boned guardian dogs. They were first used as war dogs and then used as boar hunters and farmstead guardians.

Long known only in southern Italy, Cani Corsi have increased in popularity elsewhere once the breed was revived in the 1970s and later exported to the United States in the late 1980s.
