You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application Meet Delta. If you're an active person who likes hiking, beaches, swimming, dog play dates, games of retrieving or scent work games and a variety of those type of activities and would be willing to do a training session most days for mental exercise or something similar, you would be a good fit and home for Delta.  Delta thrives best getting off the property doing things with her handler in the outdoors for about 1.5-2 hours a day usually in the evening as she is an outgoing, high energy dog. Delta typically does a smaller activity in the morning also. Just a typical walk or two a day as a primary source of her exercise doesn't suffice. Delta also loves car rides and running errands with her person. She is not seeking a situation where she will be crated long hours while her people are working all day. Her current owner has trial and tested out what satisfies her needs as a individual and this is what works best and what she enjoys in life.   Delta is being re-homed due to a bad series of medical events of two household members. In home hospice care, a recent death, and an upcoming amputation in mid-December and more mobility and more continued housebound issues are the reasons for rehoming and seeking a more ideal situation for all. Delta has a high toy and food drive, high scent drive, medium prey drive, higher energy that can relax around the house when provided quality mental and physical exercise outlets on a daily basis (she usually exercises 2 to 3 hours per day). Delta would be an excellent prospect for scent work. She is nimble, agile, enjoys obstacles, and may also enjoy agility. She currently does obedience work, water activities, and might do well with some other sports like frisbee rollers, lure coursing, dock diving, etc. Delta loves hiking and exploring the woods, swimming, walks, flirt pole, playing with other dog friends, relaxing at home, beaches, sniffing and exploring terrain, training and scent work/games, swimming in oceans and streams, playing with toys or chew items, walking around stores that allow dogs, retrieving, frisbee rollers, car rides, new challenges; she thrives best with a daily planned outing of activities that will keep her mentally and physically stimulated. Delta is house and doggy door trained. She has threshold manners, vehicle riding manners, and knows "place."  Delta is very handler soft and submissive as was noted in her "Volhard temperament test". She is very in tuned and sensitive to human emotions. She has high guarding traits of the family, estate and vehicle and is highly watchful, vigilant, investigative, and alert to her surroundings with quick response times to commands also.   Delta is affectionate with an invigorating wiggle butt greeting, many kisses and love to all family members. She can independently enjoy time and space to herself and operate independently at tasks. Delta can be snuggly at times, but a velcro dog she is not.  She has operated without much concern in her current pack amongst a low-drive female pack with, given proper structure, instruction, and management of high value items. She has many canine friends of different sizes outside the home. Delta has training in functional obedience, off leash, and has started advanced level work.  She is very responsive and obedient to instructions, wonderful on the trails off leash, and has much experience in various environments, stores, surfaces, and various exposures. To date, Delta has had no dog reactivity when leashed. Delta has no destructive or separation anxiety issues. She is  crate trained, but does not spend much time in the crate during the day. Delta is weary and watchful of strangers, as is typical of the breed, but can warm up with proper introductions using treats. She does have many human friends she knows and sees on a daily basis. Delta can startle on occasion in public. She does not enjoy people walking or noises close  behind her in some environments. Nor does she like the sounds from a crowded kennel boarding facility, but overall she is functional and enjoys outings a great deal. Delta would not be a good fit for apartment living due to suspicious and alert nature. She   may make an good emotional support dog but not advised for service dog work or therapy dog work with strangers. Older children are preferred as Delta is more weary initially of young children due to their natural mannerisms. Cats and livestock unknown. Delta does not seek a home where she will be crated all day as she is not in that situation now. Delta is seeking an active home that enjoys the activities that she's does.  She would love to continue to do more hiking, training, games, swimming, and play dates with friends or other similar activities. A home who would enjoy an extroverted/introvert, an explorative, scent-oriented and adventurous, highly-affectionate canine. Delta would also love to have another canine housemate of similar breed, energy level, and playfulness.  A home who also seeks a higher intensity and energy level guardian of property and estate, which includes management around strangers and visitors but is very loving to her whole family. Breed experience highly recommended.  Delta is up-to-date on all vaccines. Current owner is willing to travel within a reasonable distance to ensure a successful meet and greet session to ensure everyone's happiness. Can FaceTime for serious inquiries prior to meet and greet and can provide more specific information and many supplies.   Will be selective for discussion placement only to best fit home and fulfillment of all.   Application Fees, Adoption Donations and Rescue Policy: Please know that 100% of our fees and donations pay for the costs of rescuing dogs.

Commander is a big kid. He's 16 mos. old, very playful and full of energy. He's had extensive K-9 training and watches your every move. Unfortunately we stay in an apartment and I work all the time. He definitely needs a house with a yard and plenty of exercise. He has a great personality, full of character and a big people lover. Cane Corso's are very good with children and very protective of their family. He will make the best pet-family member a family would hope for.

I am a big, rambunctious girl who doesn’t understand the idea of personal space. My favorite thing is being with my people. I haven’t realized my large size yet and still want to be in your lap and get love and kisses all day long. I haven’t learned any basic manners yet but I’m pretty smart and I catch on to things quickly. I’m an active girl that needs an active owner that can keep up with me. Being around older children is probably best because of my large size. Let’s meet and see if we make a good match!
