My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Zeus is a strikingly handsome Cane Corso, possessing all the power, loyalty, and intelligence reknown to his majestic breed. Endowed with gaurdian instinct, Zeus is naturally cautious with initial introductions. But once trust is established, he shows a surprisingly sweet wiggle-butt happiness and puppy-like eagerness for connection. Zeus enjoys going for casual sniffy walks, is easy on leash, and has shown to get along with other dogs too.

Previous handling experience with Cane Corso or other guardian breeds is advised. They require:
- A structured home
- Clear leadership
- Firm (but fair) boundaries
- Consistency every single day
- An owner who understands canine behavior (not just “loves dogs”)
-An owner who knows how to anticipate and manage their protective instinct

Go meet their pets

Over 75% of our dogs are in foster homes along the front range. The foster will get in touch to schedule meetings for their foster dog. Meetings will happen in/near their homes since that is where the dog is the most comfortable. We do want you to bring family members (human and dog) to the meeting! Dogs who are currently at our Windsor facility will have meetings there and a volunteer will reach out to schedule those meetings with you. Please be aware that we do not place our dogs on a first come, first served basis, but rather a best-fit placement. Never fear, applications are valid for a year so if the first dog you meet isn't a good fit, we will have plenty of time to find one that is.
