Story
Buffalo was returned at no fault of his own and is searching for a loving home to live out his senior years. He is a cane corso and weighs 117 pounds. Fully housebroken with zero accidents in his foster home and does well in the crate but doesn’t need it. He is a gentle giant and can be timid at first but not aggressive at all, just shy. Once he warms up he is so loving and sweet! Good with all, dogs, cats, and kids. His only quirk so far in his foster home is being afraid of the hard floors so we’ve been using yoga mats, and he doesn’t like stairs. At his age and size his hips are likely a bit sore so a home with no/minimal steps is ideal. Pictures don’t do him justice he is such a big beautiful boy! May 21, 2026, 12:29 pm

Story
🐾 Bella – 4.5 Year Old Cane Corso Beauty 🐾 Meet Bella, a stunning 4.5 year old Cane Corso girl who is looking for her second chance at forever. Bella was originally adopted from our rescue as a puppy, but heartbreakingly, her owner recently passed away. Now she’s searching for the next chapter of her life. Could that be with you? Bella is everything you love about the breed. She is loyal, loving, and deeply devoted to her people. She has a playful side and enjoys spending time outside, but she’s just as happy being close to you soaking up attention. She truly bonds with her humans and will be a wonderful companion. She does great with other dogs in her foster home and has been good with kids and cats. Bella is well-rounded and has a sweet, gentle nature, especially for a dog her size. Because of her breed and size, Bella will need an experienced, breed-knowledgeable owner who understands the needs of a Cane Corso and can provide structure, leadership, and love. She will thrive in a home that appreciates her loyalty and continues to guide her. Bella is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccines and preventions. She has already known love once. Let’s make sure she finds it again. ❤️ $200 Local Adoption Fee (in Texas) $450 Out of State (includes transport to your area) Bella does take a daily medication to help manage some arthritis, and she will come with a one-month supply to get you started. She’s doing great with it and continues to enjoy life to the fullest. #godsdogsrescue #canecorso #adoptdontshop #rescuedog #sanantoniodogs #bigdoglove #secondchance #corsolove #adoptabella

Story
🐾 Fester – Cane Corso • Special Adoption Requirements Status: In training Location: Cincinnati, Ohio Breed: Cane Corso mix Age: Adult Adoption Fee: Includes required pre-adoption training sessions ⸻ About Fester Fester came to Cleo’s Legacy from a severely overcrowded shelter after surviving an extremely traumatic situation — including being shot. Despite everything he has endured, he is showing us every day that he wants to trust again. Because of his past, Fester is understandably fearful of men. His response to this fear is typically barking or growling, which are defensive behaviors and not uncommon for guardian breeds who have experienced trauma. He is currently in the very early stages of decompression and professional training, and we are still learning more about his full personality. At this time, we do not know how he is with cats. ⸻ What Fester Needs in an Adopter Because of his background and breed traits, Fester requires an adopter who is: • Experienced with large guardian breeds (Cane Corso, Mastiff-type breeds, etc.) • Willing to work closely with our trainer prior to adoption • Committed to ongoing structure, routine, and positive-reinforcement training • Patient, emotionally steady, and ready to help him heal at his pace His training is currently located in Cincinnati, Ohio, and in-person sessions with his trainer are required before adoption can be finalized. ⸻ About the Cane Corso Breed Cane Corsos are powerful, intelligent, and deeply sensitive guardian dogs. They thrive with adopters who understand: • Slow, thoughtful introductions and predictable structure • How to build trust with a fearful guardian breed • That their large, confident appearance often masks big emotions, especially after trauma • They bond intensely to their people and rely heavily on routine, consistency, and handler confidence • They require calm, balanced leadership — never force or intimidation • Early and continued training is essential for their long-term success When matched with the right person, Corsos can be unbelievably loyal, stable, loving, and devoted companions. ⸻ Why Fester Is Worth It Fester has survived more than any dog should, yet he is still trying. The right adopter will be someone who sees the dog behind the fear — a dog who wants stability, love, and guidance. If you’re someone who respects the breed, values training, and is ready to help a truly deserving dog heal, Fester could become one of the most meaningful companions you’ll ever have.

Story
Meet Charlotte! This beautiful mastiff/Cane Corso mix weighs in at 103 pounds, but don’t tell her that — she’s fully convinced she’s the perfect lap dog. Whether she’s leaning against you for pets, trying to curl up beside you on the couch, or following her people from room to room, Charlotte‘s favorite place is wherever her humans are. Charlotte is crate trained, house trained, and has excellent manners with people. She’s incredibly sweet, loving, and affectionate, with a gentle personality that makes everyone fall for her quickly. She enjoys meeting new people and is happy to soak up all the attention and belly rubs she can get. She also loves spending time with other dogs and enjoys play sessions with canine friends before settling in for a long nap nearby. Charlotte has a wonderful balance of playful energy and laid-back cuddly companion. For such a big girl, she has an even bigger heart. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend who will make you laugh with her “tiny dog in a giant body” personality while also showering you with unconditional love, Charlotte may just be your perfect match. Charlotte is fostered in the Cincinnati area. Her adoption fee is $275.00. To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals. For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible. We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
