Story
We are looking to rehome our 2 year old corso male corso. He is papered.The good: He is house trained, he can sit, stay, lie down, he is great with all of the kids, he is big healthy and beautiful, the few times he’s been off leash his recall was excellent. He is UTD on rabies. We have a bunny who he has cohabitated with peacefully. Trims nails and bathes easily. Not food aggressive. He loves people and is very friendly once he’s introduced. He is very protective and will bark at the door and growl if someone enters unannounced.The not so good:•He has marked in the carpet in our spare room when our guest left after staying for a week. Since then he has not been allowed on carpet.•He does not get along with other dogs and may pull towards other dogs when walking if they get close.We are charging $100 adoption fee, this money will go back to help with his adopters neutering expense once they choose a vet.

Story
I cannot take care of him much longer, and will be forced to either surrender him to a shelter or euthanize him (which I really do not want to do)This is Silas, he was born with a birth defect as you can see in the picture. It doesn't hinder him whatsoever. He was also my wife's dog and as we are going through the divorce she is unable to take care of him. I have been taking care of him for over a year and can no longer do so. He's a great dog with a lot of love to give, and he gets around great even though his leg is short on the front. He has a lot of energy, but can also be very well tempered.

Story
Meet Ziggy — Your Big, Bouncy Best Friend!Ziggy is a 3ish-year-old oversized goofball with the heart of a puppy and the body of a 65 pound marshmallow. He is a Lab Pit mix with the classic Lab build and that adorable square pittie head that makes him look like he was born for head scratches.This boy LOVES life. Everything is exciting. Toys? Exciting. Walks? Super exciting. New people? VERY exciting. He is the dog version of “WOOHOO!” wrapped in fur.Ziggy plays great with other dogs and reads the room surprisingly well. If a dog tells him “Hey dude, chill,” he politely backs off. His size can be a little intimidating at first glance, but his personality is all sunshine. He is friendly with dogs of all sizes although his enthusiasm might be a bit much for small or timid pups.He is also an A plus water dog who loves to play outside, splash, swim, and then come inside for a good chill session. When it is bedtime or downtime, he settles in after about fifteen minutes and becomes a cuddly, snoring couch ornament.Ziggy is:• House and kennel trained• A great walker although he still pulls a little because he is strong• A playful chewer when bored so he should be kenneled when unsupervised• A sweetheart with people but can be jumpy at first because he is excited to say hello• A bit clueless about his size which makes him feel like a giant toddler in a medium large bodyBecause of his enthusiasm and occasional jumping or leash pulling, Ziggy would benefit from an adopter willing to continue a little basic training at home. He is smart, eager to please, and will absolutely thrive with a family who gives him structure and love.If you love big happy wiggly dogs who bring laughter into every room they enter, Ziggy is your guy. He will make every walk every play session and every lazy afternoon feel like an adventure. He just needs a family who loves him back.

Story
Pinky is the sister to Lovey and another one of our mama dog’s adorable babies. At 9 months old, Pinky is a sweet, gentle girl who loves attention and being part of the action. She has a playful puppy spirit but also has a very kind and loving nature. Like most young pups, Pinky gets excited and may jump when she’s happy to see you. With a little training and guidance, she should learn quickly and blossom into a fantastic family dog. Pinky is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative. She will be ready for her new home in mid-February. While she is Lovey’s sister, they do not need to be adopted together. Pinky would be thrilled to find a family who will help her continue learning and growing. In concern for families with small children, we will not adopt a dog to a home with any child under the age of 5. This is due to the large size of Saint Bernards and the safety of your children. Our Saint Bernards are not aggressive or mean in any way, they can just knock down children easily. If you would like to visit our pups please contact St. Cloud's Rescue at www.stcloudsrescue.org or call 972-679-5319. The first step in adopting from St. Cloud's Rescue is to complete an application. The application may be found OUR WEBSITE at www.stcloudsrescue.org. Please click on the application process, complete and then email it. Once the application has been sent please call us to confirm that we have received it. St.Cloud's Rescue maintains the right to deny applications to anyone for any reason we see fit. St. Cloud Rescue is a non-profit 501-c-3 organization. St. Clouds Rescue requires new owners to purchase a one year supply of heartworm preventative from us, which is at cost. We require a home visit prior to all placements. All our dogs must be microchipped at a cost of $20.00. There is a $350.00 donation fee. All dogs adopted through St Clouds Rescue must be indoors. St. Bernards can not tolerate the Texas heat

Story
Lovey is one of the sweet babies from our mama dog and is about 9 months old. True to her name, Lovey has a gentle and affectionate personality. She enjoys attention, loves being around people, and has that happy puppy energy that makes you smile. Lovey is still young, so like most puppies she can get excited and may greet you with a happy little jump. With basic manners training and consistency, she should respond very well and grow into a wonderful companion. Lovey is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative. She will be ready for her forever home in mid-February. She does not need to be adopted with her sister, but she would love a family who is ready to give her love, patience, and some fun puppy adventures. In concern for families with small children, we will not adopt a dog to a home with any child under the age of 5. This is due to the large size of Saint Bernards and the safety of your children.
