Cane Corso puppies and dogs in Stratford, New Jersey

Skye is a 7 month old female Cane Corso. We got her from a breeder early February. She was very skiddish when we first brought her home when it came to loud noises(like our toddlers screaming/crying) or our other dog. We had a trainer come to the house and she immediately hid under my kitchen table and wouldn’t come out, she would growl at the trainer. The trainer suggested that we hire a behaviorist to help with these new issues. We hired the behaviorist and she gave us all the tips/tricks to get her to be comfortable with new people in the home. She has improved with that aspect. Within the last couple months/weeks we have noticed she is beginning to resource guard and has growled and snapped numerous times at the other dog in our home. With our toddlers Skye is starting to bark and growl at them for being near her and screaming. I am heartbroken to have to rehome her, but she really needs a home with no other animals or young children. I am at a loss for what else to do.

Rocky's Story Rocky is a 4-year-old Cane Corso mix with a big presence and an even bigger personality. Loyal and protective by nature, he’s looking for an experienced adopter who understands his breed and can provide the structure and leadership he needs to thrive. Rocky forms strong bonds with his people and will be a devoted companion in the right home. However, he does have some guarding tendencies around high-value items like bones, so a home without small children is a must. He would do best as the only pet, as he prefers not to share his space with other animals—especially cats. Like many strong, intelligent dogs, Rocky can get a bit destructive when bored or under-stimulated. With proper exercise, enrichment, and guidance, he has the potential to channel his energy in positive ways. Continued training will be very beneficial for him, helping build trust, reinforce boundaries, and bring out his best qualities. Rocky is ready to find his forever home with someone who sees his potential and is committed to helping him succeed. In the right hands, he’ll be a loyal, protective, and loving companion for years to come.

Meet Dynasty (ACCT-A-255602)! This fun-loving girl is looking for a new place to rest her head and share her heart. Dynasty has lived in a home since she was just a puppy. Dynasty’s previous family described her as the "sweetest thing in the world" once she is out of her shell. She is a true fan of the simple things in life: relaxing on the couch, enjoying a good bone, and settling in for a deep nap—complete with adorable snoring! After she gets a bath, keep an eye out for her signature move: the post-bath zoomies. She is a high-energy gal who loves to be outside and play. While Dynasty can be a bit shy in the loud shelter environment, her social side shines through once she feels safe. She has previously lived successfully with other dogs and is known to be friendly with her canine peers. Dynasty would love a cat-free home where she can be your loyal companion and professional snuggle partner. If you are looking for a dog who is already a household pro and has a heart of gold, come meet Dynasty today! 📽️Videos📽️: Dante and Dynasty meet: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Xw7KiSNVjms ⭐Behavioral Notes⭐ 07/20/2026 per staff: Reported for multiple instances, not to be eating meds 07/20/2026 per staff: On Saturday, observed a nurse attempting to interact with the patient through the cage, dog was all the way at the back of the kennel, heavy panting. 07/16/2026 per staff behavioral eval: Kennel Presentation: Laying on her bed wide eyes, furrowed brow, ears back, trembling, avoiding eye contact. At the meatball piece that landed near her. Leash Skills: When I opened the door eyes started to dart and she was trembling more. I talked to her in a baby voice and gently tossed my leash near her so she could sniff it which she did. Eyes were no longer darting and was avoiding eye contact. Would not move off her bed and needed to lasso. Flinched when the leash landed on her and lip licked. Needed a big pull on the leash to exit her kennel. Once out walked tail tightly tucked, wide eyes darting, tense body, head low. Stopped in the kennels, kept moving with some calling to her and leash pressure along with the second handler behind her. Outside pulled strongly towards the road, tail tucked, ears pinned back. Sociability: In the yard, tail low, ears pinned back, wide eyes, occasionally panting, lip licks and stress yawning. Went up to both me and the other hander to sniff, allowed some gentle handling on her neck, head and upper body. Made some soft direct eye contact with the other handler. When the other handler left to go and get a dog to meet her, started to pacing in the yard, keeping the length of the leash, wide eyes, heavier panting, tail tucked. Responded to me calling to her and stood still near me heavy panting, ears back, wide eyes, tail low. Play: n/a Dog Interaction: Met Dante, tail low, allowed being sniffed, moved away on her own. Return to Kennel: Went to the surgery room instead of kennel, walked back pulling moderately, ears back, wide eyes, tail low. Color Level: Blue 07/16/2026 per staff: whale eye and tense laying on bed. handler used strong leash pressure to remove from kennel, then walked tentatively with eyes darting and unsure footing to the outside. Whale eye outside, tail pasted down, other fidget behaviors noted throughout like lip licks, yawns and head turns away. Approached me for social contact multiple times, made direct soft eye contact, prolonged at time so I asked her to be moved away in those moments and she moved away with gentle leash pressure from her handler. Flinchy when touched. Met Dante- tolerant, looser relatively speaking to him touching her than us touching her. Took into surgery, used double leash with two handlers to restrain, but it wasn't needed as she was unfazed, heavy panting, clearly stressed and very tolerant. Allowed me to touch her neck and head without flinching and adjust her collar so it was a bit looser. Heavy shedding, another indicator of high stress. 07/14/2026 per staff: TTA- giving time to settle. she is scared, whale eyes, tense body, exit searching, tried double leash but gets spooked when you touch her 07/14/2026 per staff: Dynasty was standing in the flex space with a low still nub, ears back, wide eyes. The handler let me know that she was flinching with every movement. I offered her some meatballs and hot dogs both of which she took the spit out. She sniffed me with the same body language. In the dog intake room she had ears back, low still tail, wide eyes, hypervigilant in the room. Turned down cheese, ate the peanut butter that was offered. When we attempted light handling her skin crawled, tight closed mouth, wide eyes and slowly tuned her head. We attempted some peanut butter on the door and a double leash for vaccines. She stopped eating the peanut butter when the nurse walked up to her from behind, tense body, low still tail, side eyeing. The nurse lightly touched her back and she turned her head, closed mouth, ears back, wide eyes, vocalized with a grumble. No longer eating peanut butter after that. Walked back to the kennels tail tucked, eyes darting, tenes body. Stopped once in kennels, kept moving with some leash pressure and calling. The handler let me know that she was growling once in the kennels. Stopped outside her kennel, the handler had to step in and I used my leash from behind to give her a little lift. Medical Notes: On 7/20/26, Dynasty was noted to still be showing a high level of FAS. Medical staff elected to continue with gabapentin and adding clonidine for five days and will reassess. Per intake exam on 7/14/26, Dynasty has slight yellow teeth but was otherwise in good condition. She was QAR (quiet, alert and responsive), timid, loves peanut butter, and takes treats gentle.
