Delightful Dawn is looking for her forever family, and wants her new people to know these 10 things about her:

1. I am a Cane Corso, and I am about 2 years old. I am small for my breed, and will probably never weigh more than 90lbs.
2. My life before rescue was very sad. My owner died and nobody in his family came to take care of my dog brother and me. Sometimes a neighbor would throw food over the fence for us, but we didn’t have any shelter or water for a long time. By the time that animal control came to check on us, we were almost dead.
3. Despite all of the bad things I went through, I am a super social girl that really likes almost everyone I meet. I think I would do well in a home with children over 10, as long as they weren’t too loud or rambunctious and had some previous experience/training with big dogs.
4. Because I was left in a backyard for so long, I have some abandonment issues. I want to be by your side ALL THE TIME, and will bark or cry when I’m outside alone because I’m afraid you aren’t coming back. My forever family will need to be committed to working with me to build confidence and helping me overcome my previous trauma.
5. I enjoy the company of other large dogs as long as they are on the mellow side. I haven’t had much experience with smaller dogs since coming to the Bullpen, so I’m just not sure that a home with these kinds of pets is right for me.
6. I am interested in the barn cats that hang around the sanctuary, but I am pretty easily redirected. I might be able to live in a house with cats, as long as we were allowed to meet very slowly and always under supervision.
7. The words that best describe me are happy, sweet, and affectionate. My favorite things to do are hanging with my people, snuggling with my humans, and eating.
8. I am housebroken and I am pretty good on a leash. I also know basic obedience and how to use a dog door! I will go in a crate if you tell me to, but I get antsy after a few minutes because I don’t like being away from people for too long. My forever family will need to invest in a heavy duty crate until they are sure that they can leave me unattended in the home.
9. I am fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped.
10. I am heartworm positive, but I’ve started treatment, and will come with all the medicine needed to complete it at my new home.
Ready to give Dawn the forever home of her dreams? Fill out our Adoption Application, located at
The Bullpen Way Station & Sanctuary under the 'work with us' tab.
We highly recommend that our potential adopters fill out an online application as soon as possible, as it greatly expedites the process of finding the right dog for your situation.
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-served basis, but rather we strive for a "perfect placement" so we know that they will not be failed again.
