About EMERGENCY - OUT OF TIME. Good boy Cornelius thought he was going home

My name is Cornelius, and I'm a handsome 4-year-old Shepherd mix who weighs about 54 pounds. I ended up at the shelter after someone found me and brought me here. I was so hopeful, thinking I was going to a safe and loving home, but instead, I found myself in a place with many other scared dogs. Months have passed, and my family never returned. The stress of being here has become overwhelming, and I've been given a deadline. I'm a shy boy at first, but I absolutely melt for ear rubs! I seem to do best with calmer dogs and have passed temperament tests with several other dogs. Please don't let my story end here; I dream of a loving home.

Ideal Home

Cornelius seems to prefer calmer dogs and would likely thrive in a quieter environment where he can feel secure and build confidence.

Ongoing Health

Cornelius's neuter and rabies vaccination are being sponsored if he is adopted.

Training & Support

Cornelius can be a bit shy, so he would benefit from a patient adopter who can help him gain confidence and show him the ropes. He loves ear rubs and seems to respond well to positive reinforcement.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
  • Adoption Fee: $68 + $15 license fee for Moreno Valley residents.
  • If adopted, a sponsor will pay for altering and rabies.
