Here's what the humans have to say about me:
HERCULES WILL ONLY BE ADOPTED TO AN EXPERIENCED CANE CORSO / GUARDIAN BREED HOME.
ABOUT ME:
Hercules is a gorgeous 18 month old Cane Corso kid that is looking for an extra-special home. Herc needs to find a family that will work with him to build his confidence and make him into the awesome dog that he is meant to be!
Before he came to rescue, nobody ever took the time to train or socialize Hercules. Instead, he was passed from owner to owner until he finally ended up at the pound in San Antonio. He was adopted by another individual from the shelter, but they ended up dumping him with a Great Dane rescue in Texas. The Dane rescue reached out to us and we said YES!!
WHAT I NEED IN A HOME:
Hercules is a loving, friendly and affectionate boy who loves to run, play and explore in the yard. He is living with dogs of all sizes at his foster home, and gets along great with the girls, although sometimes the small dogs make him nervous. Therefore, we think he would do best in a home with a large, confident female dog.
We haven’t had a chance to observe Hercules around cats, so we’d prefer to place him in a home without felines. Mr. H can be fearful around loud noises, so we think an adult-only home, or a family with teenage children, would be the right fit.
Due to his sad past, Hercules has moderate to severe separation anxiety. He doesn’t want to be away from his people for more than 15-20 minutes, and will escape from a regular crate if given the chance. His new family must therefore be willing to purchase a heavy duty crate for him, as well as work patiently with him while he learns to trust again. Hercules’ new family should also be willing to consult a professional trainer or behaviorist, and should be open to the idea that Herc may need to take daily medicine to help minimize his anxiety.
THE DETAILS:
Hercules is diligently working on his housebreaking skills and has gotten much better on the leash. His foster dad is helping him learn basic obedience, and will need to continue his training with his new family.
Hercules is vaccinated, neutered, heartworm negative and microchipped.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our dogs are available for adoption nationwide but preference is given to adopters willing to do an in-person meeting. Please understand that our dogs are not adopted on a first-come, first-serve basis, but
rather we strive for a “perfect placement” so we know that they will not be failed again.
