Cane Corso puppies and dogs in Morrisville, Pennsylvania

Lexi is from Phila., SPCA. Her history was unknown. She looked to be found on the street because she was very underweight and has some scarring on her face and neck. She has been reactive towards my other dogs around food, toys and closeness to me. She is very protective and needs a calm environment. She should be in a home with no other pets because she gets jealous of other pets. She is very clumsy and high energy so should not be around young children. She needs to be walked at least twice a day for an hour each at least, she needs a lot of stimulation (loves ball fetching and pull toys) and attention. Cane corso breed is the true velcro dog. She wants to be near you as much as possible. She should wear a muzzle around new people. I use the shock collar on buzz and vibrate mostly to help with commands. I use a prong collar for walks and she walks well without pulling.

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.

** $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. Walks well on leash with no pulling. Overall friendly and quiet Medical Notes: 5/5/25: Canine Pneumovirus PCR: Positive 5/5/25: Reevaluate pathway after birth of stillborn puppies on 5/2 and 5/3.
