Story
This is the boy that will steal your heart. Brutus is a 2.5 - 3 yr old 110 lbs big boy that looks like a mastiff with maybe some cane corso. Brutus has seen the bad side of humans, but still, he is a loving soul that is grateful for being rescued. Brutus was found wet, cold, muddy and emaciated. Since being rescued, he has gained weight with lots of good food and some major TLC. He's even learned how to play and taught some good manners. Brutus is quite the smart baby - he listens well and with the proper lead he doesn't pull. Brutus has learned to fetch the ball but hasn't quite learned the retrieve part. And he sure appreciates having good food! His rescuers trained him to sit before his food is placed down. So polite! If it's nice outside, Brutus will love to be with you and play. He does not like the cold and rain but will quickly go outside to potty and ask to be let back in where there is warmth, love, food, and pets. He especially enjoys butt scratches. He loves his people and is ok socially with other dogs but loves to get all attention in the home. If you're a fan of giant breeds and you want to show this big sweet boy how wonderful life can really be, apply now at www.caninecollective.org. He deserves it.

Story
Meadow was with the original owner since she was a puppy. Domestic issues meant they had to give him up to the Humane Society in the fall of 2022. The dogs had been starved of attention for several months as well as had inconsistent feeding. They'd also been left alone for extended periods of time. Because of that, we recommend that she not be in a home with small children that may disturb her when eating or try to take things away from her. Despite his last few months at home, since she's been with the Humane Society, she's shown that she's smart, great with other dogs, is okay with cats (but will chase them), receives correction well, and keeps a clean crate. She is good on a leash and will go to the bathroom in a fenced in area or on a leash. She does fear things being taken away from her and will need an experienced adopter to avoid issues. She's a counter surfer and has mild separation anxiety (will jump fences to get to her person). She can be fearful until she gets to know you. Unless you're a man - that will take a little longer! Meadow is an incredible dog with a ton of potential with someone that is willing to work with her and get to know her well. She would make an incredible companion.

These pups are in Columbus, Ohio too!
