Ruth - Cane Corso and Black Labrador Retriever Dog for Adoption in Heathsville, Virginia

I'm a very shy pup looking for a patient, experienced adopter to help me build confidence. The world can be a little scary, but with love, gentle guidance, and time, I'll blossom into a wonderful companion. My littermate, Emil, who is also available for adoption, has been helping me at the shelter but I need exposure to the world and all the wonderful things it has to offer. When I feel safe, I love climbing into my person's lap, and I'm already doing a great job keeping my kennel clean, so potty training should come easily. Do you have the patience to help me bloom?
