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
 Looking for a fun, quirky and goofy dog?  Want a tri-pod dog that thinks she’s a gazelle? Well….Kylie is the perfect fit! What a road of recovery this girl has had from a terrible abuse case.  Kylie came to us after having to have her right hind leg removed and need time to heal from that and some other fractures.  After many months of learning how to trust humans again, she slowly began to come out of her shell and learned to interact with humans and her doggie friends. She discovered that she likes to sleep on a soft doggie bed or lounge around on the couch, when she’s not wrestling around with her doggie friends.  She has no awareness that she’s a tri-pod and leaps and wrestles around. Kylie would do best in a home with other doggie friends and with patient humans who will give her the time and space to trust in them.  She tends to favor women over men but can be won over with yummy treats.  Rescue shows us the road to recovery may be long for some dogs, but one look into Kylie’s eyes and you can certainly see her compassion and ability to love again. 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.   July 2, 2025, 8:51 am
