Aegon (ACCT-A-253874) is a striking Cane Corso mix looking for a rescue or experienced adopter who understands that trust takes time. While the shelter environment has been overwhelming for him, Aegon has shown that once he feels safe, he is capable of accepting gentle handling, taking treats politely, and even seeking out a little affection. He isn’t the type of dog who will immediately greet every stranger with a wagging tail—instead, he’s looking for someone willing to let him settle in at his own pace and build a relationship based on patience and respect. According to his previous owner, Aegon was raised in a loving home, is fully housebroken, crate trained, and has a medium energy level. He enjoys rope toys, crinkly stuffed animals, sturdy bones (no rawhide), and spending time with his people. He previously lived successfully with a cat that he tried to play with, and his owner described him as affectionate at home. They noted that he tends to position himself between his person and unfamiliar people, and that while he generally improves with time, introductions to new people should always be slow and carefully managed. The shelter has found that Aegon is understandably stressed by the busy kennel environment. He can initially appear tense, growl, avoid eye contact, or hesitate to leave his kennel, especially with unfamiliar handlers or in noisy areas. Food, particularly cheese, has helped him build confidence, and once outside he has tolerated handling, accepted vaccinations, and even leaned into handlers for brief moments of affection. Because of his size and strength, staff have used multiple leashes during outings as an added safety precaution while he gains confidence. Aegon would do best with an experienced adult adopter who is comfortable managing a large guardian breed and committed to continuing positive reinforcement training and slow introductions to new people. He has been reported to be uncomfortable with other dogs and should not be expected to socialize with them. Due to his behavioral history, he is not eligible for placement in a home with children. While he previously lived peacefully with a cat, any introductions to resident pets should be done thoughtfully and gradually. If you’re looking for a loyal companion and are willing to earn his trust, Aegon may be the devoted best friend you’ve been searching for. With time, consistency, and an understanding home, he has the potential to leave the stress of the shelter behind and show the affectionate dog his previous family came to know and love.

Once she is comfortable, she transforms into the happiest, most goofy girl with her friends! Popover is super food-motivated and eager to learn, making it easy to build a loving bond with her. She loves zooming around our fenced fields, tossing toys around, and afternoon strolls. After some much needed playtime, this young lady is sure to melt in your lap for some snuggles and love!

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.
