Cane Corso puppies and dogs in Groton, Connecticut

Ruby is a six year old American Pitbull Terrier/Cain Corso mix from a hoarding case where she endured physical abuse and many hungry nights. We suspect that Ruby was born and raised in that environment and has never received exposure to the outside world. Due to this, it takes Ruby some time to warm up to you.Once she does, she is an in your pocket type of pup! A wonderful sponsor is willing to cover my adoption cost of $225.00 so I can be adopted and enjoy being someone's best friend! All adopters must be vetted and approved to adopt from FOCCAS.Ruby has a way of making you feel wanted, when she greets you with a wagging nub and sweet face after a long day! She is very quiet and doesn't mind other dogs but would do best with a Male. She likes long walks and is doing well with leash training, and knows sit,down, touch and shake already! She does excellent when her foster mom bathes her and clips her nails, and is very patient.She is sweet and gentle until something scares her, then she jumps. She's good on a leash until something startles her, then she pulls.... And she's strong. She's a beautiful girl. Loving and gentle, loves attention but hates excitement. She's not a guard dog, she'll hide behind you in the threat of great danger, or if a butterfly scares her. Quiet, soft, and sweet Ruby, she wants to be right at your feet. Ruby needs to be an only dog.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.

Welcome Jacks to CCPAL Rescue. Jacks is an 11-month-old Cane Corso/Australian Heeler. He is very affectionate, knows sit, loves water and can open a fence latch. He is a smart boy. He really is attentive and has had a wonderful foster before entering the shelter. He is wonderful at sitting when you ask him to sit. A carabiner is adequate to block him from flipping the latch of the gate open. This is what we use to secure the gate of his kennel. We don’t think he is the type that wants to run away. He is smart and bored in his kennel is all. He is a great dog and we think he would be a great hiker, walker and companion dog for an outdoor enthusiast. He loves all people and doesn’t seem at all bothered by strangers. He is friendly to everyone. He would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 and older due to his size. He weighs about 60 pounds and looks to be a good weight. He has a beautiful blocky head and with the harness on he was relatively easy to walk. We are looking for a moderately active family for this dog. We think he is very handsome and is going to appeal to men because of his beautiful head and athletic build. He is neutered, vaccinated, healthy and ready for his forever home. He is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally in Texas. We can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get this gorgeous dog to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the east Coast. His adoption fee is 300 and transport is 200. . Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.

***Cane Corso or Similar Breed Experience Required*** Name: Mama Breed: Cane CorsoAge: 3+ years oldKids: Over 12Cats: TBDDogs: SelectiveMeet the lady of the hour, the mama of our Corso Crew. Mama joined the MHS family shortly after her puppies were surrendered to us and has been ready for her forever home ever since! This beautiful big girl, weighing in at 120 pounds, is as strong as she is sweet and absolutely loves her people! Mama walks wonderful on a leash, knows all her basic commands, and is as loyal as they come! This lady loves people, but in typical Corso style will look to her people to be sure that new friends are okay. Mama is super smart but also has the total goofball personality, so we are saying kids over 12, because Mama loves to play and jump on her people when excited. Two of Mama's favorite things are rolling over for belly rubs and her stuffed animal toys! We are requiring a home with prior Cane Corso or similar breed experience.Mama is UTD on her vaccinations, is microchipped and spayed.If you are interested in Mama, please fill out an application today!Note, Mama is only available for adoption to CT residents. https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=meridenhumanesociety&method=online_form_html&formid=27

Meet Piper, the smiley, squishy-faced lovebug who seems physically incapable of not being adored. From the second you meet her, she’s all in, leaning her whole body into you for hugs, nudging for booty rubs, and flashing that absolutely ridiculous underbite that makes her look permanently thrilled to be alive. She doesn’t need much time to warm up because honestly, she assumes you’re already best friends. Ear scratches? Yes please. Attention? More please. All of it? Definitely. We think Piper is a Cane Corso/ Boxer mix and she’s about 2 years young! And don’t be fooled, despite her Corso face, she’s on the smaller side! She is pure squishy faced perfection if you ask me! Watch her video here! https://youtu.be/D3Js06rzmco?si=YkZQpeeb0NwHhINa Piper is a total social butterfly with dogs and lives for a good romp. She’s playful, confident, and brings big “play play play!” energy to her doggy friendships. She loves to tumble, chase, zoom, and wrestle, and does best with dogs who enjoy rough-and-rowdy fun but also know how to take breaks so the party doesn’t go on forever. She’s been great with a variety of play styles, from goofy gals who love chase to more laid-back dudes who pop in and out of play, because Piper truly does not discriminate, if you’re a dog, she’s probably into you. She would absolutely love a yard for epic zoomie sessions, but apartment life isn’t out of the question as long as her people are active and excited to take her on walks, outings, and adventures. She’s smart, eager, and very trainable, even if she’s currently more interested in everything happening around her than showing off perfect leash skills. As for cats, Piper says that’s a no! She finds them way too interesting, so a cat-free home will be her happy place. With kids, Piper has the potential to be a wonderful family dog because she’s incredibly gentle, sweet, and people-loving, but she does have a habit of giving enthusiastic “hugs” when she’s excited. Because of that, we’ll definitely want to do a kid test before saying for sure, just to make sure everyone’s set up for success. Add in her affectionate nature, joyful personality, and cartoon-level cuteness, and you’ve got a dog who feels like pure happiness wrapped in a wiggly, tan body. Piper isn’t just a good girl, she’s a whole experience, and she’s ready to bring nonstop love, laughter, and zoomies to her forever home. 💕 Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

PLEASE BE ADVISED: BEATRICE HAS REQUESTED TO BE INCLUDED Included in what? Doesnt matter. Beatrice would like in. She is a big, beautiful girl with an extremely simple philosophy regarding life: If her people are doing something, she should probably be there. Watching television? Perfect. Going into another room for no discernible reason? BB has cleared her schedule. Doing laundry? She has no relevant experience, but she is available in a supervisory capacity. BB is a big dog but her size is honestly one of the least interesting things about her. Because underneath all that beauty is one of the sweetest, easiest, most affectionate girls you could ask for. She is the definition of go with the flow. BB does not require an itinerary. She does not need a detailed agenda. She simply needs to know one thing: Are we doing this together? BB is happiest spending time with her favorite people. She loves attention, affection, and will happily lean into you for pets. She wants to belong. She wants to be part of somebodys ordinary life. We do need to address one administrative matter. BB is currently living in a foster home. This means you cannot simply arrive at the rescue, yell BEATRICE! and expect a large beautiful pup to come barreling around the corner. We understand the temptation. Please resist. BB can be met by appointment only.

Adoption Fees Adoption fees help us continue to provide lifesaving care to animals in need. EGAPL Heart of RI is a nonprofit animal rescue and does not receive state or federal funding. The cost of veterinary care, food, supplies, staffing, transport, medications, and daily shelter operations has increased significantly.While adoption fees do not cover the full cost of caring for each animal, they help offset a portion of the medical care, housing, and support each pet receives before going home. Every adoption also helps make room for the next animal who needs safety, care, and a fresh start. DOGS Puppies under 1 year: $675 Adult dogs 1 year and older: $575 Dog adoptions include, as age appropriate: Spay or neuter surgery Rabies vaccine Distemper/parvo vaccines given while in our care, based on the dogs age and vaccine schedule Leptospirosis vaccine started while in our care, when age-appropriate Bordetella vaccineInitial deworming Heartworm testing, when age appropriate Microchip Flea and tick prevention or treatment while in our care Basic medical evaluation and care while at EGAPL Adoption counseling and take home guidance Please bring a leash and collar with you at the time of adoption, or ask our team what size is best for your new dog. CATS Kittens under 1 year: $425 Adult cats 1 year and older: $325 Cat and kitten adoptions include, as age appropriate: Spay or neuter surgery Rabies vaccine FVRCP/distemper vaccines given while in our care, based on the cat or kittens age and vaccine scheduleInitial deworming FeLV/FIV testing, when age appropriate Microchip Flea treatment or prevention while in our care Basic medical evaluation and care while at EGAPL Adoption counseling and take home guidance Please bring a secure cat carrier with you at the time of adoption. A Note About Puppy and Kitten Vaccines Puppies and kittens require a series of vaccines as they grow. We provide as many age appropriate distemper vaccines as possible while they are in our care, but young animals may still need additional boosters after adoption.Your adoption counselor will review your pets vaccine record with you so you know exactly what has been done and what may still be needed with your veterinarian. A Note About Leptospirosis Vaccines for Dogs We start dogs and puppies on the leptospirosis vaccine when age appropriate. Because some dogs are adopted before the booster is due, the full lepto series may not be completed before adoption. Your adoption counselor will review your dog's vaccine record with you and let you know whether a booster is still needed with your veterinarian. After Adoption Veterinary Care We recommend setting up an appointment with your veterinarian shortly after adoption. This helps your new pet establish care, allows your veterinarian to review their medical and vaccine history, and ensures they stay on track for any boosters or follow up care they may need. Flea and tick prevention, as well as heart worm prevention for dogs, are typically prescription products. Your veterinarian can help choose the safest and most appropriate preventatives for your pet based on their age, weight, medical history, and lifestyle. Why Adoption Fees Matter Every animal who comes through our doors receives individualized care. Some arrive healthy and simply need vaccines, spay/neuter surgery, and a safe place to land. Others need emergency care, diagnostics, treatment for parasites or infections, dental care, behavior support, special food, foster care, or weeks to months of daily shelter care before they are ready for adoption.Your adoption fee helps support that full circle of care. It helps the pet you are bringing home, and it helps the next animal who needs us. Thank you for choosing adoption and for supporting the lifesaving work of EGAPL Heart of RI.

She loves spending time with her people and is looking for a family that will appreciate both her affectionate nature and her fun-loving personality.
