Cane Corso and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Deuce is a 12-year-old, 86-pound gentle giant with a heart just as big as his paws. Though he's listed as a senior, this sweet boy still has plenty of pep in his step-he enjoys playtime just as much as he loves a good nap by your side.

Deuce is easy to handle out of the kennel and walks well on leash, especially with a harness. He may pull a bit at first, but he quickly settles into a comfortable rhythm. He appears to be potty trained, marking outside but having no accidents inside.

He absolutely *loves* car rides-head out the window soaking in all the sights and smells. He just needs a little boost into taller vehicles, but would hop right into a regular car with ease. Deuce is both treat and toy motivated, takes treats gently, and knows "sit." He's always up for a game of fetch and even brings the toy back most of the time! Once playtime is over, he's ready to curl up beside you for pets and belly rubs.

This affectionate boy is wonderful for baths, shows positive body language with other dogs, and adores every person he meets. Deuce has that perfect blend of playful energy and calm companionship-he's truly the sweetest boy, ready to fill his forever home with love and warmth.

As always, we strongly recommend that resident dogs meet any new potential canine family members. If bringing a resident dog for a dog to dog test, please bring proof of Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines.

To meet your new pet, come to Guilford County Animal Services between 12 and 4 any day except Tuesday!

The Cane Corso, known for its muscular build and imposing presence, is a formidable yet loyal Italian mastiff breed. With origins tracing back to ancient Roman times, these powerful dogs were initially used for hunting, guarding, and protection. Today, they are beloved family companions, displaying a calm and affectionate temperament towards their owners. The Cane Corso's distinctive appearance, intelligence, and protective instincts make them popular choices for experienced dog owners seeking a devoted yet vigilant companion.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
