About Fargo

Fargo is a 2-year-old Cane Corso in Orange, VA, weighing in at a solid 120 pounds. He has weathered instability early in life and needs structure, patience, and reassurance as he settles into a home. Cane Corsos form intense bonds with their people; Fargo is no exception, showing deep loyalty and affection once he feels safe. He's still learning to trust, especially with men, and approaches new women with some reservation. Patience and consistency are key. Fargo has some anxiety and separation stress, so he’ll do best with experienced handlers who know giant guardian breeds well—this isn’t a suggestion, it’s a strict requirement. He finds comfort with other dogs and would benefit from the presence of a steady, confident canine companion. He keeps his kennel as clean as he can, but expect to support his house training as he transitions. On walks he’s eager and alert, and he’s shown curiosity about cats, but introductions should be thoughtful and slow. He’s neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, dewormed, and tested for heartworm, with preventatives current. If you can give him stable ground and meet his breed’s needs, Fargo is ready for you. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
