This lady loves people, but in typical Corso style will look to her people to be sure that new friends are okay.

We are requiring a home with prior Cane Corso or similar breed experience.Mama is UTD on her vaccinations, is microchipped and spayed.If you are interested in Mama, please fill out an application today!Note, Mama is only available for adoption to CT residents. https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=meridenhumanesociety&method=online_form_html&formid=27

Luna's Adoption Fee has been sponsored! *SPECIAL NEEDS* After Luna was spayed, she began having bouts small seizures. Her blood work and xrays have come back fine. Our vet staff thinks she could have Epilepsy. We have started Luna on Phenobarbital pills twice a day which seems to be working very well to control the seizures.

Meet our silly young girl named Luna! Luna is about 9 months old and she was surrendered to our shelter after her owner could no longer care for her. She is a petite puppy right now, weighing about 37 lbs. She is going to grow, but we think she will stay a nice medium size weighing around 40-45 lbs. Luna can be a scaredy cat when she meets new people at first, but she is a very curious girl. She has a very goofy personality when she is comfortable! Luna loves to run around our backyard and middle room with hilarious bouts of zoomies! She gets a big smile on her face and goes back and forth. She is a fan of squeaky toys and has learned that she also likes to cuddle on couches. She will need a patient home that can teach her new things in the outside world aren't so scary. Luna is good with other dogs and we are told she is fine with cats as well. She can go to a home with children 12 years old and older.
