Zeus

Meet our handsome Zeus! He is a 1-year-old male Cane Corso who will turn 2 in December. He has a beautiful gray coat, a big blocky head, and a big personality!

This is a difficult decision for our family, and we want to be intentional about finding him the right home.

A little about our guy:
Male, not neutered.
Currently 1 year old (turns 2 in December).
House-trained and crate-trained.
Great with children and currently lives in a home with four kids.
Very playful, affectionate, and energetic.
Has a big personality and can be a little stubborn at times!
Intelligent and needs consistent structure, attention, and continued training.
He is a loving, playful boy who enjoys being around his family. He has the typical Cane Corso personality: confident, strong-willed, intelligent, and sometimes convinced that he knows best!

The home we're looking for:

We would love to find someone who has experience with large breeds, preferably Cane Corsos or other guardian breeds. Someone who understands their temperament and is prepared to provide continued training, exercise, socialization, and structure.

We want him going to a home where he will be treated as family, not simply kept outside or used solely for protection.

We are not looking for just anyone. We want a responsible, loving home that can give him the time, attention, and commitment he deserves.

Serious inquiries only. Please introduce yourself, share your experience with large breeds, and tell us a little about the home you could provide.

Our priority is finding him a safe, loving, forever home. ❤️
