Meet Penny! A Loving lady looking for the perfect match.
Penny is a 2.5 year-old Cane Corso that weighs around 118 pounds.
What Makes Her Wonderful: Penny is a deeply loving, affectionate girl who is happiest when she is close to her family. She is incredibly bonded to her people and absolutely adores her young children. At home, she is a total cuddle bug who loves attention, belly rubs, and being included in whatever her family is doing. Penny especially loves spending time outdoors. She could happily spend hours lying in the sunshine, following her family around while they garden, or simply relaxing nearby. She isn't a dog who needs constant activity or entertainment--she is perfectly content being your companion and soaking up the sun. We truly think she would love a home with plenty of outdoor space, and a farm or similar property could be a wonderful fit for her.
As a Cane Corso, Penny has the loyal, devoted, protective nature that makes this breed so special. She is naturally watchful and may bark when someone unfamiliar first arrives, but she can warm up quickly when she realizes someone is a friend. In fact, she is currently doing wonderfully with two men inside the home replacing windows--she is relaxed, wagging her tail, asking them for pets, and enjoying their attention. Once she understands that someone is welcome, she can be incredibly sweet and affectionate.
Her Health: Penny is currently doing very well on her daily fluoxetine, which has made a tremendous positive difference in her overall anxiety and ability to relax. With consistent medication, she is much calmer and has been able to stay home alone without being crated. She does have significant separation anxiety, which her family is actively managing and treating. Consistency is very important for her, and keeping her medication routine is a key part of helping her remain comfortable and successful.
Penny also has some behavioral considerations that are important for her future family to understand. She has shown aggression toward small dogs, particularly small fluffy breeds, and has demonstrated resource guarding around other larger dogs. Because of this, we believe she would do best as the only pet in the home, with no small dogs or other small animals.
Her family is committed to being completely transparent about her needs so that her next home can be one where she is understood, supported, and set up for success.
Why We're Rehoming Her: Rehoming Penny is an incredibly difficult decision, and this is not something her family is taking lightly. -We love her very much, and she is deeply bonded to our family. She is affectionate, devoted, wonderful with our young children, and has so many qualities that we absolutely adore.
However, we recognize that Penny needs a very specific environment in order to truly thrive. As a Cane Corso with strong guardian instincts, anxiety, and reactivity toward certain animals, she needs an experienced owner who understands the breed and is comfortable managing a powerful guardian dog.
Our goal is not simply to find Penny another home--it is to find the right home for Penny. We believe her ideal family would have experience with Cane Corso's or similar guardian breeds, no small dogs or other small animals, a securely fenced property, and the ability to provide her with consistency, structure, companionship, and continued support with her anxiety.
Penny has so much love to give. She wants to be with her people, be included in their lives, spend time outside, and receive all the affection she can get. We are committed to finding her a home where her wonderful qualities can shine and where she can feel safe, loved, and understood for the rest of her life.
