About Mama

Mama is a striking Cane Corso at just over 3 years old and comes in at an impressive 124 pounds. She was brought into the rescue after her puppies were surrendered, and now she’s looking for her own family. Mama is strong but sweet, famously loyal, and thrives on the affection of her people. True to her breed, she’ll look to you for guidance around new folks, but once she knows you're okay with someone, she warms up fast. She already knows her basic commands, walks nicely on a leash, and comes with an endearing goofball side—she loves rolling over for a belly rub and has a soft spot for stuffed animals. Her playful energy means she’s best suited to homes with kids over 12, as she’s likely to jump when excited. Mama is selective with dogs and hasn’t yet been fully tested with cats. The rescue wants her adopters to have prior Cane Corso or similar breed experience; she isn’t for first-timers. Mama is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations. She’s available to CT residents only. Capricorn is Mama’s sun sign, so expect a loyal character with a responsible streak. Click apply to start the adoption process.
