About Corva

Start your journey together! Apply now. Corva is pretty spectacular and deserves to be in the spotlight! She is a beautiful 3-year-old blue Cane Corso with a short, sleek coat who has mastered house training as well as basic commands like sit, stay, and lay down. Corva has always lived indoors and makes a wonderful, quiet companion, only alerting you when there’s someone or something outside that needs attention. She previously lived with another Cane Corso and three cats, though cats were not the right match for her as she saw them more as prey than friends. Corva’s past involved several homes and not always having enough food, but thanks to a knowledgeable foster with giant breed experience, she’s finally getting the stability and care she needs. She was not permitted on furniture before, so she especially loves treats and large, squeaky plush toys. As she settles in and reveals more of her personality, additional updates will be shared. Fun fact: With a birthday of January 30, Corva is an Aquarius—known for being loyal, independent, and a little quirky! Make their next chapter their best one yet.
