Meet Louie, a loyal and affectionate four-and-a-half-year-old Cane Corso from Vineland, NJ, whose essence is gentle strength wrapped in a striking black coat and a heart full of devotion.
At 140 pounds, Louie is a true gentle giant with a calm, steady presence and a playful side that shines when toys and sticks are involved. He’s crate-trained, house-trained, and knows several endearing commands like “sit,” “lay down,” “stay,” and the charming “gimme kiss.” His favorite pastime? Being by your side as your constant, quiet companion!
Louie has been raised with love and is very comfortable with young children and cats—he’s particularly gentle around felines and has even been known to enjoy the company of puppies. Though he hasn't had much experience with other dogs, he’s a respectful housemate and does well when his routine is stable and familiar.
Like many protective breeds, Louie can be a bit wary of strangers. He benefits from slow, patient introductions and a calm environment where he can warm up on his terms. Once he trusts you, he’s all in—loyal, affectionate, and eager to be near! He’s crated at night and does well when left alone for short periods, especially when he knows his people are coming back.
This big-hearted boy is neutered, fully vaccinated, and in great health. His grooming needs are minimal, with a monthly bath and the occasional brushing to keep his coat looking sharp. While he hasn’t had formal obedience training, Louie is responsive and attentive, and with a little consistency and positive reinforcement, he’ll continue to shine.
Due to housing restrictions, Louie is looking to find his new loving home by April 9, 2025. He’s hoping to land somewhere with a patient, caring family who understands big dogs and the gentle souls they often carry. His ideal home includes space to stretch out, a family willing to go slow with introductions, and lots of love to share.
Louie is ready to bring his big heart, playful charm, and loyal companionship into your life! Reach out today to learn more about giving this sweet boy his next loving place to call home.
