Story
Miss Priss Sweet Little Sis | The Sweetest Little Shadow Miss Priss Sweet Little Sis didn't get her name by accident. This beautiful brindle girl really is just about as sweet as they come. She's gentle and a little thoughtful when something is new, but once she realizes she's safe, out comes an affectionate, playful little girl who would happily spend the rest of her day right beside her people. At 3 months old and quickly approaching 4 months, weighing approximately 26.4 lbs, Miss Priss is a spayed female Cane Corso/American Pit Bull Terrier mix with an absolutely gorgeous brown-and-black brindle coat. She's a striking puppy, and her personality makes her even harder to resist. We all fell in love with her the moment we met her, and it doesn't take long to understand why. Watch Miss Priss in action, the come back to read more! Miss Priss can be a little reserved and timid at first, especially when she's taking in a new environment. Give her a little time to look around and figure things out, though, and she settles in beautifully. After just her first day of playing and getting comfortable in her foster home, she was already curling up to snuggle with her foster and foster's partner. She also hasn't shown much of a preference between men and women so far. Once she's comfortable, she's simply happy to have a person to love. And preferably, she'd like that person to stay close. Miss Priss is a little shadow who always wants to know where her people are. She currently shows some separation anxiety and will whine if her person leaves the room. She's also getting used to spending time in her kennel, where there can definitely be some whimpering as she adjusts. Her future family will want to continue helping her build confidence and independence gradually, showing her that being alone for a little while is safe and that her people always come back. Thankfully, this girl has something very important working in her favor: She's incredibly smart—and she loves food! Miss Priss is highly food motivated and already knows sit! Treats should be a fantastic tool as she continues learning everything a growing puppy needs to know. She's currently working on potty training and will benefit from a consistent routine, plenty of opportunities to go outside, praise, and patience while she gets the hang of it. She's also entered the very important puppy phase of asking, "But what if I put this in my mouth?" about nearly everything. Miss Priss loves to chew, which is completely normal for a puppy her age. Toys work wonderfully for redirecting her toward something appropriate, and she's especially happy with a stuffy. She also loves to play fetch, giving her family a fun way to keep that busy puppy brain and body entertained. Miss Priss has already had some early cat socialization in her foster home. The resident cat can be a little unsure about newcomers, and Miss Priss initially gave a growl during their first meeting. With time and appropriate introductions, however, they've warmed up to each other well, and Miss Priss has continued doing nicely around the cat. We'd still recommend slow, supervised introductions with any future feline roommate so both animals can adjust comfortably. She hasn't been introduced to young children yet, so we don't want to make assumptions about a relationship she hasn't had the opportunity to experience. As with any puppy—especially one who will grow into a larger, powerful adult—thoughtful, supervised introductions and teaching both puppy and children how to interact respectfully will be important. At the end of the day, though, Miss Priss is still very much a baby. She has potty training to finish, kennel confidence to build, puppy chewing to work through, and independence to learn. What she already has is a wonderfully loving foundation. She's smart. She's playful. She's affectionate. She's absolutely beautiful. And beneath that gorgeous brindle coat is one of the sweetest little girls we've had the pleasure of getting to know. Miss Priss is ready for a fun, loving home where she can play fetch, carry around her stuffies, learn new things for plenty of treats, explore the world, and then curl up beside her favorite people when the day is done. Miss Priss Sweet Little Sis is looking for someone who will fall in love with her just as quickly as we did—and something tells us that won't be very difficult.

Story
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?

At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress! We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet. It doesn’t stop there!

Story
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.

Colt is a big boy. Very laid back and is an excellent guard dog. He is great with other dogs and spends a couple of days a week at doggy day care. Colt is better in a calm house with less traffic in and out. He has been leash trained and trained on the invisible fence.

***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

Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! NOT!! I am a snuggle bug looking for tummy scratches....I willl MELT for one!! Here is what one of our amazing fosters have to say about Dakota...."Super freaking sweet, loves loves belly rubs, is very strong when you walk him but listens well. VERY treat motivated and knows sit down paw and i just taught him roll over yesterday but its a work in progress 😝. Super playful, he will pounce around you and then roll over for belly rubs and absolutely melts for the belly rubs and kisses" I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Shrek is a great name for me! I am kind of a sweet OGRE looking boy with a loving heart and kind of beat up body. It is HARD to live on the streets! I had an old injury so limping was my norm. It was discovered that my back leg had been broken and healed very wonky. Now my bad leg is gone and I am pain free! NOW, I am a healthy TRIPOD boy looking for just the right family...one who will care for me for all my days! I deserve it and you deserve this cute OGRE in your life too!

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org Meet HollyBerry ✨🍓 4 years old | 65 lbs | Certified Goofball | Professional Best Friend If joy had a mascot, it would be HollyBerry — and she would be sprinting toward you at full speed with a toy in her mouth and zero personal space boundaries. 😄 💖 THE GOOD STUFF (aka: Why You’ll Fall in Love Instantly) ✅ Sweet as pie (like… the kind your grandma brags about) ✅ Professional goofball — laughs guaranteed ✅ Endless energy — always ready for an adventure ✅ Elite-level cuddler — snuggles are her superpower ✅ Social butterfly — LOVES people ✅ Confidence: 100/10 ✅ Eager to please — truly wants to be a good girl ✅ Fetch champion — seriously, she lives for it 😅 THE “LET’S BE HONEST” SECTION ❌ Thinks chain-link fences are more of a suggestion than a rule ❌ Can have a little too much fabulousness for some dogs ❌ Too big + enthusiastic for small kids and cats ❌ Likes to gently hold your hand… with her mouth (it’s weirdly sweet, we promise) 🐾 THE HEARTBEAT BEHIND THE GOOBER Holly’s story is one of second chances and big hope. Over a year ago, she was just moments away from being euthanized in a rural Texas shelter. She was saved in the nick of time and moved to what was supposed to be a temporary outdoor setup. But temporary turned into a long wait. And Holly? She’s still waiting. Despite it all, she is overflowing with love. She adores people, lives for affection, and will happily melt into you for belly rubs. She’s smart, playful, eager to learn, and wants nothing more than to belong to someone. Fetch is her jam. Cuddles are her currency. Love is her whole personality. She dreams of: 🏡 A secure, tall-fenced yard 🛋️ A couch (or your lap… or both) 💛 A human who chooses her forever Holly isn’t just looking for a home — she’s looking for her person. Someone who sees her big heart, her goofy grin, and her unstoppable love, and says “You’re mine.” ✨ If you’re ready for laughter, loyalty, and a dog who will adore you with her entire soul, HollyBerry is waiting. Apply now at haydudeequine.org and give this girl the happy ending she’s been dreaming of. 💖
