Meet Bowser, a 4-year-old Cane Corso with a heart as big as his paws and a gentle soul that's been through more than he lets on. Found overnight by local police with no tags, no microchip, and a leg injury (bilateral hip dysplasia) that is on-going so he would need an owner who is committed to his care. Bowser arrived at the shelter a little timid but still full of quiet hope. Despite everything, Bowser has remained incredibly sweet and tolerant. He’s a bit cautious at first, but friendly and eager to connect. He walks well on leash, sits on command, and enjoys being pet. He’s the kind of dog who says a lot with soft eyes and quiet company rather than barking or bouncing. Bowser isn’t into toys or rowdy play but enjoys calm companionship. He passed his dog test with flying colors, polite, tolerant, and happy to simply stroll alongside his furry friends without needing to be the center of attention. This sweet boy would do best in a calm home with respectful kids 12+ and a family that will give him the love, security, and healing he deserves. Bowser may not be the loudest or the flashiest, but he just might be the most loyal heart you’ll ever meet. Come meet this gentle giant he’s ready to find the peace and love he’s been missing.
