Great Dane and Cane Corso Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Brinkley!

At just 5 months old, Brinkley is a beautiful Great Dane/Cane Corso mix weighing 42 pounds, with an estimated adult weight of 80–90 pounds. This sweet girl came to rescue at only 5 weeks old alongside her brother after being surrendered. While her brother has already found his forever home, Brinkley is patiently waiting for her special family.

Brinkley is a gentle, chill puppy who absolutely lives for snuggles. If you’re looking for a big baby who loves to cuddle, she’s your girl! She also enjoys squeaky toys and chasing balls, but her favorite place is right next to (or leaning on!) her person. In the mornings, she loves to jump up for back snuggles and soak up all the affection she can get!

Because she’s still gaining confidence, Brinkley can be shy and nervous with strangers and takes a little time to warm up. Once she trusts you, though, she bonds deeply and loves wholeheartedly. Patience and kindness will be key to helping her blossom into the confident companion she’s meant to be.

Brinkley does wonderfully with other dogs but hasn’t been around cats yet. She has been around several adults and does great, though she may need slow introductions to new people. She has no aggression issues, she is mostly house trained, and she is fully crate trained. She will need more support at getting comfortable walking on a leash, so her future family should be prepared to continue positive, gentle leash training.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will truly bond with you, and you’re ready to help a sweet, sensitive girl grow into her very best self, Brinkley is your girl!
