Stunning Saint is looking for his forever family, and wants his new people to know these 10 things about him:
1. I am a Cane Corso and I am about 2 years old. I am a very big boy, topping the scales at 130lbs.
2. I’ve had a lot of instability in my short life. My first owner didn’t understand my breed and wasn’t able to give me the foundation or training that I needed. As a result, I found myself at a shelter in Louisiana not long after my first birthday, and I bounced around a lot before arriving at The Bullpen.
3. I CAN ONLY GO TO A HOME WITH EXTENSIVE GIANT GUARDIAN BREED EXPERIENCE. I thrive when I have very clear and firm boundaries, and I need to be with people that understand that it will take some time to build trust with me. My perfect forever family will be willing to continue training and working with me to build confidence.
4. I would like to live in a quiet, adults-only home that doesn’t have too many visitors.
5. I seem to be generally indifferent to most other dogs. If my new family had other female canine pets, and we were allowed to meet slowly over the course of several weeks, I think I could make that work.
6. My only experience with cats since arriving at the sanctuary is the occasional sighting of a barn cat, so I can’t say for sure if a feline-friendly home is right for me.
7. The words that best describe me are gorgeous, obedient, and playful.
8. My favorite things to do are exploring the yard, learning new skills, and taking naps.
9. All things considered, my doggy manners are excellent. I am housebroken and crate trained, I know basic obedience and how to use a dog door, and I am pretty good on a leash.
10. I am fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, neutered, and microchipped.
Ready to give Saint the forever home of his dreams? Fill out our Adoption Application, located at http://www.bullpenrescue.org 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.

All adopters must fill out an adoption application, which is conveniently located on our website, www.bullpenrescue.org, under the "work with us" tab in the top right of the page.
After you submit your application, the form goes to our online database where it is accessed and reviewed by the members of our team. A rescue volunteer should be in contact within a couple of days to discuss your application, your expectations, and any of the dogs you’re interested in. If you don’t hear anything from us within a reasonable amount of time, don’t be afraid to reach out to us via email at info@bullpenrescue.org!
Once we’ve spoken to you, we’ll begin to check your references. When we’ve gotten the green light from your references, a volunteer will be in touch with you to set up a home visit. We are merely looking to see that you are able to provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for your dog to live in. At that time, we will also take the opportunity to inspect your fence, yard, and neighborhood.
As soon as your home visit has been completed and approved, you’re officially ready to adopt! At this point, a member of the Bullpen crew will be in touch to discuss the adoption contract/fee. Fees range from $50 for very old dogs to $500 for puppies. On average, the adoption fee is between $300-$400
Depending on the distance between you and your new family member, transport may have to be arranged (for applicants who live in close proximity to our facility in Georgia or one of our foster homes, this will not apply). We WILL NOT SEND A DOG VIA COMMERCIAL AIR, but we do offer two alternative options for long-haul transports:
(1) Commercial: We regularly use a wonderful, reasonably-priced ($150-$200) transport company that travels between Texas and Georgia and then up the East Coast on a weekly basis. The cost of the transport PLUS the cost of the mandatory health certificate must be covered by the applicant unless otherwise specified by the Bullpen.
(2) Private: We also have an individual who is available to do private transport, but applicants must be willing to cover the individual’s travel expenses and meet the driver at least half of the way.
Post-adoption, we reserve the right to make up to three follow-up visits, but we’ll make sure to give you notice beforehand, and the visits are generally informal. Additionally, we always encourage our new adopters to stay in touch with updates or pictures (email, text, or join the Bullpen’s Facebook page- Facebook.com/BullpenRescue) and to feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
