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! November 3, 2026, 1:33 pm

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 Candy Cane! Candy Cane is a 12-week-old female Cane Corso puppy with a big personality, a big heart, and an already impressive 32-pound frame! She appears to be a purebred Cane Corso and is growing into a beautiful, intelligent, and confident girl. Candy Cane loves people and is happiest when she can be involved with her humans. She’s incredibly smart and already understands a surprising amount of human language. She’s playful, curious, and eager to learn, making her a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys spending time training, playing, and building a bond with their dog. She’s also off to a fantastic start with her manners! Candy Cane is crate trained, almost completely house trained, and walks beautifully both on and off leash. For such a young puppy, she’s showing an amazing ability to learn and take direction. Because she’s an energetic, playful puppy, Candy Cane would love a home where she has another friendly, playful dog to romp around with, or an active human who enjoys playing and keeping a young dog mentally and physically engaged. Candy Cane is looking for someone who will continue guiding her as she grows into the wonderful adult dog she’s clearly destined to become. She has the intelligence, affection, and personality to be an incredible lifelong companion. If you’re looking for a smart, loving, playful puppy who wants to be your best friend, Candy Cane may be your girl! 🍬🐾❤️

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
Stella is a sweet, energetic young girl born November 30, 2025. She joined our family at 17 weeks old after her previous owner could no longer keep her. She's still a puppy with lots of potential and would thrive with a patient owner who has time for training, exercise, and mental stimulation. Due to her size and excitement, she can accidentally knock over smaller children, so a home with older children is recommended. She's very food-motivated, steals food when given the chance, and may growl or snap at other dogs near her food bowl. She also barks frequently at visitors, unfamiliar people, and cars arriving. Stella and another dog in our home have ongoing conflict. She frequently humps him, while he gets overly rough, biting and pulling at her back legs. Their conflict goes both ways, and both dogs behave well when separated. A home without other dogs is recommended unless it can be safely assessed. Stella needs a committed home willing to work with her behaviors to help her thrive.

Story
Meet Stallone – The Italian Stallion (With Absolutely No Coordination)! When we heard about an emaciated Cane Corso found locked in a crate full of urine and poop on the side of the road, we couldn’t say no. Despite our foster homes being packed for months, Stallone needed us. He had the most soulful eyes and beautiful face, so naturally, we named him after the Italian Stallion! Well, we got the graceful part wrong! Stallone is gorgeous, and petting him is like petting a soft baby bunny, but watching him walk (or heaven forbid, run) is like watching a baby deer on ice. He’s all awkward hops, crashes, and questionable braking skills! But what he lacks in coordination, he more than makes up for in personality! Stallone is a sweet, puppy-like lovebug who LOVES other dogs, enjoys toys, and will do just about anything for a treat. He’s also wonderful with cats and kids and would make an especially great addition to a family with little ones. Stallone has been through enough. He’s ready to trade his rough beginning for a lifetime of love, laughter, and a family to call his own. Apply to adopt our handsome, hilariously uncoordinated Italian Stallion today! ❤️     All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home. We require an approved application to meet any of our dogs. We do not have a shelter location and will not arrange a meeting without an approved application. We strive to make sure the bios provided for our dogs are complete and accurate; we do understand that mistakes happen, however, so if you absolutely cannot find the answer to your question in the dog's bio, you can contact us for more information. We require a home visit for each dog we adopt out, so we adopt within a 2 hour radius of Dayton, OH. If you are outside of this radius, we encourage you to contact your local rescue or shelter.   November 2, 2026, 11:01 pm
