Lola! She is a 4-year-old Cane Corso mix. Lola came to the shelter to be spayed for another rescue partner. Once this small horse like creature walked in, staff loved her! So majestic and beautiful. But don’t let her looks be deceiving she can be a goofball when she gets to know you!
Due to her size and energy level, she would prefer a solid fenced in yard. Along with an adult only home. She stands very tall and can knock small people over!
We have not had other rambunctious dogs to play with her but as she walks by dogs while outside, she ignores them so we would be willing to do a meet and greet if you have a large breed dog. Though we are okay with large breed dog introductions, a cat-free/small dog (under 25#) free home is a must, she has a high prey drive and she doesn’t realize her size!
Lola is a great dog with lots of potential and needs a family with Mastiff breed dog experience.
