Hi, I’m Walter—your very good, very large, very lovable Cane Corso mix gentleman.
I’m 18 months old, built like a teddy bear in a bodyguard suit, and I’m here because my previous family loved me but couldn’t afford to give me the best life. You might notice my lumpy elbow in the photos—that’s a hygroma. The vet says it’s a harmless, cosmetic fluid pocket that can show up where big-boned fellas like me rest our weight. One side healed great; the other was drained and is being watched since it’s trying to come back. I feel fine and can live my best life with it, pinky promise!
About me? I adore people and I’m polite about it—leaning in for head scritches, flopping for belly rubs, and gazing at you with my soft, amber eyes. I’m good with other dogs, too. And the fastest way to my heart is a bright yellow tennis ball. Toss it, and I’ll show you my goofy zoomies; keep it, and I’ll rest my giant chin on your knee for negotiations.
My dream home is one that appreciates a big, gentle shadow. A comfy bed (or your couch, if you insist), some elbow-friendly soft spots to lie on, a fenced yard for ball time, and humans who want a loyal best friend. I’m still a young guy, so I’d love consistent routines, patient guidance, and plenty of praise—I’m eager to please and even better with clear cues.
If you’re looking for a dignified cuddle-bug who can make you laugh with a single slow tail wag, I’m your boy. Come meet me, bring a tennis ball, and let’s start our forever story.
Love, Walter
