Story
I’m looking to rehome my 8-month-old Cane Corso. He is healthy, up to date on vaccinations, and growing into a strong, handsome young dog. He has a great temperament — loyal, protective, and very affectionate with his people. At this age, he is still very much a puppy, so he has lots of energy and will benefit from continued training, structure, and socialization. The Cane Corso breed is intelligent and eager to learn, and he does best with a confident owner who understands large, working breeds. This is not an easy decision, and I want to make sure he goes to a responsible, committed home where he will be cared for properly. I’m happy to answer questions and share more details with serious inquiries.

Story
*UTD/MICROCHIPPED/ ON MONTHLY FLEA AND TICK AND HEARTWORM PILL/SPAYED *good with cats *no kids under 12 ( she is very fast when she runs) *non- reactive dogs are best to pair her with *loves chew toys and tennis balls!! On Feb 08, 2024, Beauty was found wandering all alone in Sweetwater, TN near the dump by a Good Samaritan who posted on Facebook in a lost and found group but no one came forward to claim her. :( Our animal control officer, reached out to us for help with this situation and connected us with the finder. At the time, the Monroe County shelter was over capacity and euthanizing on intake. When she arrived at woofwoof fosters it appeared something strange was going on with her eyes. Turns out, she had a condition called Entropion which caused her eyelashes/eyelids to grow inwards! We scheduled her for surgery ASAP as this can lead to blindness if left untreated! Beauty has since recovered from surgery and is now ready for adoption! We have dog tested Beauty at our dog trainers place in Athens, TN and found out that she is good with non-reactive dogs ( we have been pairing her up with non- reactive dogs at our rescue for play) .She would do best in a home without young children as she has a LOT of energy, young kids could unknowingly get in her way. She loves to run and play and will require mental stimulation in her new home as well as frequent physical stimulation. We think some simple scent trail training or possibly snuffle mats may help meet her needs as she has a curious snout! Her most favorite toy is a tennis ball! if you have two, that would be great or else you WILL go through ALOT of them because she will chew them up right away! We are teaching her to bring it and leave it and wait for us to toss her second ball. sometimes, we will work with her on just one ball....but that is a lot more work vs having a second one ready haha! We do believe she is house broken as she has not made any messes in our home or the dog building. **We do offer foster to adopt to do a trail run** ( PLEASE ASK US FOR MORE INFORMATION AS WE TAILOR TO YOUR NEEDS/ REQUESTS AS NEEDED, THE BEST WE CAN) If you have any questions, please feel free to get ahold of us through here, or through our website at www.woofwooffosters.org . Thank you, woofwoof fosters -team This animal is being fostered in the South but transport to a location near you is included in your adoption fee. We use Rescue Riders Pet Transport, (www.rescueridersllc.net), the most animal-friendly transport on the road.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Emaciated, but gaining weight slowly, little by little--this beauty was found by the roadside in rural Campbell County, and quite frankly, we love that she is now safe and transferred to the care of a foster mom nearby. To officially celebrate her transition into FOAC's foster care, we fully vetted her, and microchipped her with a FOAC microchip! Congratulations, skinny minny BlueBelle--welcome to the club!  After a full exam at the vet, including bloodwork that indicates she is full-blown heat, heartworm negative, negative for all tick diseases, and with a negative fecal, BlueBelle just needs to rest and gain weight so that she can be spayed.  She has had too many litters, from all appearances, and has apparently accepted her fate for several years. Now, however, she gets to be a devoted pet, a companion, a friend to anyone she chooses.  And here is the interesting part of what we have already observed: although she was picked up and literally saved by a man, once she hit the shelter system, men became intolerable!  It's quite possible that time in her foster home will mellow her, but we will not rush the assessment and will give her time to gain weight and become more comfortable with changes.  For now, she is safe, and can spend her days contemplating life as a spoiled house dog. She is housetrained, excellent with women, seems fine with other dogs, and wants to please whoever is near by. What a beauty! We'd like her to weigh at least 70 pounds before she is spayed.    PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA. For questions about the pet, please email us at FOACinfo@gmail.com. All adoptions begin with an application, found under the "Animals" tab on our website, friendsofcampbellcounty.org. *Unaltered babies under the age of six months can be adopted only to residents of Campbell County, the City of Lynchburg, and counties touching Campbell County. *Unaltered adult pets six months or older will need to be sterilized before they can be adopted outside our local area of Campbell County, the City of Lynchburg, or counties touching Campbell. *We do not promote dog adoptions to homes where an invisible fence is the fencing of choice. *We do not permit cats or kittens to be declawed following adoption.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 28, 2026, 9:16 am

Story
Meet Arnold “Arnie” – A Gentle Giant Ready for His Second Chance Arnold, lovingly called Arnie, is an 8-year-old Cane Corso with a story that spans continents. Born in Russia and brought to the United States for backyard breeding, Arnie’s early life was about producing puppies — not being someone’s cherished companion. Now neutered and officially retired (he is registered with the International Cane Corso Federation), Arnie is finally getting the chance to learn what it means to simply be a dog — and he’s ready to find a patient, understanding home to continue that journey. Arnie has completed heartworm treatment and is on the road to a healthier, happier future. He is crate trained and settles well in his crate, though he will shred plush beds — so blankets or chew-proof bedding are best. He loves to chew (a lot!), so plenty of durable chew toys and supervision when he’s not crated are a must. He is not fully house trained yet and will need consistency and structure. Arnie also has coprophagia, so immediate yard cleanup is necessary. The good news? He is extremely food motivated and not food aggressive at all, which makes training much easier. Right now, “sit” and "shake" are the only commands he knows, but he is eager to learn and will thrive with someone committed to continuing his training. Arnie would do wonderfully with another stable, well-mannered dog who can serve as a role model. He has a low prey drive and does well around cats, choosing to calmly ignore them. Because he is still learning that jumping isn’t appropriate and can be strong on leash (he is not leash trained and does pull), a home without small children would be best. Bath time isn’t his favorite, but with calm direction, he will walk into the tub willingly. He is tolerant of nail trims and generally cooperative with handling. Arnie appears to carry some past trauma; he can become fearful and cry around certain men, particularly those with deeper voices or darker complexions. With patience, reassurance, and positive experiences, he continues to build confidence and trust. Arnie is a big, sensitive soul who simply never had the chance to be someone’s beloved companion. He will need structure, supervision, and continued training — but in return, you’ll get a loyal, devoted dog who is finally learning what safety and kindness feel like. If you’re experienced with large breeds, believe in second chances, and are ready to help a gentle giant write his next chapter, Arnie is waiting. 🖤 If you are interested in Arnold please reach out to Tramp's Rescue to complete an application! He is currently in Virginia Beach, VA. trampsrescue@yahoo.com (804) 248-3042

Story
June is a 4 year-old Cane Corso that we have had since she was a puppy. She is energetic, great with kids, and very loving. She is a very strong dog and is very food driven- she will eat a whole loaf of bread, bag and all, off the counter. She has been around cats, and doesn’t approach them! Same goes for chickens and ducks. She has been around other dogs her whole life, and does great! She loves to play! However, she will respond if she feels threatened. This applies to people as well. She is a fierce protector of her family. We are looking to rehome her because we have lots of new people in and out of our home all the time and feel this presents unnecessary stress for her. She needs someone who is able to give her the time she needs! She does great on a leash and with an electric fence.
