A little about them

Hi, I'm Gumby, a fawn Cane Corso who is ready to find my forever home. I am a devoted, food-motivated companion who becomes a loving shadow dog once I trust you.

I was rescued extremely emaciated at 89 pounds and have since gained over 20 pounds. I am continuing to physically recover while learning to feel safe again. I am skittish and need a patient adopter who will let me progress at my own pace.

Ideal Home

Gumby would do best in a quiet, consistent household with minimal chaos. Older children are best suited to his needs, and a calm, well-balanced dog sibling may help him build confidence. A fenced yard would provide a safe place to decompress and explore.

He is not recommended for a first-time giant-breed owner. His adopter should have patience and experience with fearful or under-socialized dogs and be comfortable with an affectionate, closely attached companion.

Ongoing Health

Gumby is continuing to physically recover from severe emaciation. He is up to date on Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. Some exceptions may apply.

Training & Support

Gumby goes into his crate on command, uses it as a safe space when startled or overwhelmed, indicates when he needs to potty, and does not have indoor accidents. He also rides well in the car. He will benefit from routine, consistency, and gentle exposure to new experiences at his own pace.
