Story
Dog's Name: Gracie Location : Fort Atkinson, WIAge or Date of Birth: July 2021 (estimate)Gender: FemaleBreed: Cane Corso MixFoster Dog's Weight: 83 lbs Gracie gets along with:Dogs?: All Dogs - Needs a slow introduction to other dogsCats?: Unknown but unlikely due to prey driveKids?:  Older kids, needs slow introduction Gracie came from unfortunate circumstances where she was used for breeding. She had her last litter of puppies in August, 2024.  She had some aggression that developed with pregnancy towards other dogs, but continues to make progress e ch day as the puppies get older and find their furever homes..  Gracie is a very loving girl that wants nothing more than to be by her humans side. She is her foster mom's shadow at all times and loves to cuddle on her lap as well as play with her foster siblings.  However, when they play...they play quite rough, but not aggressive toward one another.  Gracie is working at regaining her trust. She is still timid and scared of the world from her traumatizing history and does get scared when someone talks loud or yells at her. We are still working on basic commands like lay down, but has almost mastered sit and come. She does go to "her room" on command, which is a spare bedroom in her fosters home. Gracie is very fond of chewing, especially boxes/paper products (toilet paper, paper towel, etc.).  If left unsupervised with items around the home, she may or may not chew onthem. She also likes to play with toys with her foster siblings, but typically only plays with interactive toys on her own (puzzle treat toys, etc.). Gracie does have a pray drive and attempts to  catch birds and squirrels, but leaves them when told to leave it. Her perfect adopter would be someone who is patient with her and her training.  She is very smart and obedient once you gain her trust. Ideally her adopter will have experience or know about her guardian breed tendencies. Gracie has not had good interactions with kids so far, but could potentially be around them with continued training.  For now it would be best for her to be in a kid free household.  She does well with other large non-dominant dogs or will also thrive independently with exercise. She does not require a fence, but would require supervision given her prey drive and guardian tendencies.

Story
(Arlo) Arlington - Male Cane Corso Age: 2 Years Gets along with: Cats: Needs slow introduction Dogs: Yes- tested with female Kids: Yes, older kids Location: Chicago, IL Weight: 95.1 lbs Arlo is a calm and affectionate dog. He loves riding in the car and we have been having play dates with my boyfriend's neutered female Pit/Border Collie mix, Tulip. He loves splashing in the pond and chasing frogs. He's great at fetching a ball and releases it easily. He sometimes forgets how big he is and has startled Tulip with some rougher play than she likes, but he does immediately back off with verbal prompts or when she growls. He's quite the athlete and runs circles around her and jumps completely over her. He does paw at you for attention, and we're still working on changing that into a shake command, but he will sit and lie down pretty reliably on command.We're still working on his introduction to my cat, FaeFae. He's getting much better at ignoring her, but we still haven't had contact and there is always a barrier between them.He still gets startled at sudden noises, and can get a little over-excited when someone signals play with him (like knocking into your legs trying to roughhouse). Altogether, he's a very calm dog in most situations. Arlo needs a family familiar with large dogs. He would love to have a dog sibling and a fencedyard to play in, but he does well on a long lead when we play in my unfenced yard. I think he would eventually be ok with cats, but still seems like he would love to chase them. Older children who would not startle him and are aware of his size would be best. He loves attention and cuddles, so he would be a great couch companion. Until the profile is removed from the public’s view, the dog is considered available for adoption.  Meet and greets can be scheduled with approved adopters.

Story
Martha - Female Cane Corso Age: 3 Years Gets along with: Cats: No Dogs: Yes Kids: Unknown Location: Chicago, IL Weight: 85 lbs Martha is a giant bundle of love- she wants nothing more than to lay in your lap and cuddle. She enjoys long, leisurely walks with plenty of time to check out all the good sniff spots, and playing chase with her foster sister. She does great in her crate, both during the day and overnight and lets you know when she needs to go outside with a gentle paw placed on your lap. Martha is still a bit skittish around new people, but once she gets used to someone, she is happy to make friends. Martha would do just fine with a first time giant owner, provided they are strong enough to handle her. Her perfect adopter would be someone who is willing to give her lots of love and attention- she wants to be in your lap as often as possible. While she would certainly enjoy a fenced yard, she is doing fine without one. So far she has gotten along with every dog she has met, but another dog in the home is not a requirement. She should not go to a home with small animals (bunnies, guinea pigs, etc) as she has a very strong prey drive. Until the profile is removed from the public’s view, the dog is considered available for adoption.  Meet and greets can be scheduled with approved adopters.

Story
Jackson - Male Cane Corso Age: 6 months Gets along with: Cats: Not tested yet Dogs: Not tested yet Kids: Yes, older kids Location: Midlothian, IL Weight: unknown Jackson is a very sweet, loving, playful, and curious boy. He loves to play with toys, but gets bored easily. He is doing well with potty-training. Jackson will put anything he can in his mouth, just like any other puppy. He so desperately wants to play with the two resident dogs (4 yo Mastiff and 6 month Cane Corso), but so far he has only visited with his foster brothers through a gate. He walks well on a leash, but will pull if he wants to see something or introduce himself to a squirrel. He needs someone who is not afraid to set and enforce boundaries as well as someone who is willing to put in the work needed to train him on how to be a well-mannered member of the pack. Jackson's adopter will be very lucky to have this sweet boy as part of the family.

Story
Bubba - Male Cane Corso Birthday: May 26, 2024 Gets along with: Cats: Yes Dogs: Yes, all sizes Kids: Yes Location: Aurora, IL Bubba is a lovable and friendly pup who gets along wonderfully with dogs, kids, and even cats! In his previous home, he lived with children and a cat, and in his current foster home, he shares space with three other dogs: two small, sassy Chihuahuas and a 50-pound Lab/Pit mix. He’s also great at meeting new people and making friends. Bubba is a pro at settling into his crate when left home alone, during bedtime, or when his humans are enjoying a meal. He’s a well-mannered boy who adapts easily to routines. You may have noticed Bubba’s unique eyes in his photos—they make him extra special! He has cherry eye, a condition common in giant breeds. The veterinarian has recommended waiting to address it until he’s a bit older, as some dogs outgrow it naturally. If not, it can easily be corrected at the same time as his neuter procedure. Bubba is ready to bring love, companionship, and his sweet personality to his forever home!
