Cane Corso puppies and dogs in Princeton, New Jersey

Meet sweet Michaela (ACCT-A-237403)! This senior lady was surrendered to the shelter along with her sister, Bella (ACCT-A-237402), when their owner's health declined and he could no longer care for them. The owner recommended that Michaela and Bella stay together. Michaela is about 70lb and 9 years old. In the shelter, Michaela has been goofy and snuggly! She loves pets and attention and follows her sister around for comfort. She's had a good dog meet and, per her owner surrender notes, is "Great with children, good with strangers, okay with cats and dogs". She loves rope toys and treats and is already crate trained, housebroken, and knows some commands!

Took a treat gently through the kennel. Leash Skills: Easy to leash and walk out through the adoption lobby. Minimal pulling, went to the bathroom when outside. Sociability: Social with handler, soliciting attention and allowing handling all over. In the volunteer office, she and her sister went from person to person asking for treats and pets. Michaela was not as jumpy as Bella, asking for treats more gently. She remained loose and wiggly, loving pets all over and leaning in. Play: N/A Dog Interaction: Very comfortable with her sister. Loose body and followed each other around. When Bella reacted to another dog from afar, Michaela seemed to follow her lead a bit (barking toward the dog), but her reaction was smaller (no hackles or pulling) and she calmed down more quickly. Return to Kennel: Stopped briefly outside of her kennel, walked right in with a treat scatter. Easy to unleash Color Level: Gold Recommendations and considerations: Per owner 11/20/25 (Surrendered after 9 years along with Bella due to owner's health problems): The owner recommended that both dogs stay together.

** $140 in pledges for the rescue that pulls ** Isadora ACCT-A-218558 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to medical concerns. Isadora must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER and/or ADOPTER by Thursday, May 8th, 2025 at 10AM. Should Isadora’s medical or behavioral status change, her urgency and timeline for placement may also change. Isadora is a sweet and shy girl who’s been through more than her fair share lately. Though she's still adjusting to the shelter environment, she has shown us glimpses of her lovely personality—walking beautifully on leash, taking treats gently, and even climbing up on a bench to quietly ask for pets. She prefers a slow approach, but once she feels safe, she’s calm, affectionate, and quietly brave. Isadora is currently healing from a tough stretch of health challenges, including pneumonia and a positive test for canine pneumovirus. She recently gave birth to stillborn puppies and is still recovering both physically and emotionally. She’s receiving medical care, but her appetite is low and her energy is subdued. We know this isn’t the real Isadora—it’s just the tired, sick version of her waiting for a soft place to land. She was originally found as a stray and described by her finder as docile and quiet with people but reactive to other animals, especially cats. While she has been tolerant in playgroup settings, she tends to be nervous and shut down around other dogs, preferring her own space. What Isadora needs now is time, patience, and a peaceful place to rest and heal—ideally in a calm home where she can decompress and begin to show the full extent of her loving nature. If you’re someone who can offer her the calm and care she deserves, she’ll repay you in quiet companionship and trust earned over time.

I took it slow and tossed her treats from the other side of the kennel opposite the bed she was laying on. I eventually went around and tossed her some treats upon opening the door she was facing. She did not retreat and allowed me to place my leash over her head. Once leashed, she easily got up and walked out of kennel. She walked SO well on leash, stayed right next to me even when passing a reactive dog. She seemed nervous so I didn't push interaction, but she did solicit some attention when entering the run where the photoshoot staff was located. She did well for her photo and was easily returned to kennel. Playgroup 4/26: Isadora was aloof at the gate for greetings. She was steerable on all accounts and very nervous. she was shut down in the yard and avoidant of all the dogs. we kept her in the yard to see if she'd warm up but she kept to herself for the most part. Per volunteers 4/26/25: I had Isadora out and she was super sweet but a little nervous. She allowed me to pet her but when she wanted some space she would walk away which is okay! She took treats very nicely out of my hands and walked excellent on leash. She did solicit some pets and climb up on the bench with me for some pets. She’s overall a really sweet girl! I had no issues returning her to kennel as she walked right in. Per staff 4/23/25: Finder stated she was going to keep the dog but after the dog attacking her cat she decided to bring the dog here Per finder 4/23/25: Very docile towards strangers and aggressive towards animals, mainly their cat.

Baked Beans, or as we call her, Beans, is a super sweet girl. She is a little wary of new people at first and takes a some time to warm up to them. She prefers if you let her approach you when she is comfortable. She knows basic commands, is housebroken, loves car rides and sleeps through the night and if you let her, she is happy to have a lazy morning. Beans is calm inside the house but once she gets outside, she is ready to play. She plays hard so she'd do best in a home without small children. She just doesn't know her size and strength. She loves to chase the ball and play tug. I think she would do well with another dog of her size that can handle rough play. She is not a fan of baths. We have been working on getting her used to just going into the bathing area. We don't use a crate with her, she stays in our mudroom when we leave the house. But we have one set up for her and she started to go in and chill out for a little bit. She loves to go on walks. Walking on the leash can be tough at times. She loves to try to chase the squirrels, rabbits, birds and even their shadows if they fly overhead. She loves to stop and smell the flowers or whatever she finds interesting. We have been working with a trainer. She needs some work still but she is smart and will improve with time and patience.
