About Angus

Meet Angus, a spirited baby boy born in February 2026. His early days weren't what every puppy deserves; he arrived at the shelter malnourished and carrying an untreated fractured leg. While his breed mix is uncertain, he's suspected to be a Cane Corso and Great Dane mix, so expect him to grow into a big dog. Angus has a journey ahead as he heals. Though his leg might be a bit crooked, it doesn't slow him down at all; you’d hardly know he has an issue when he’s racing around the yard. Our vet suggests waiting until he’s around a year old to neuter him, ensuring that his growing bones get the hormonal support they need. An adoption contract will need to be signed regarding this commitment. This playful pup has an endearing habit of carrying his food bowl, enthusiastically greeting everyone, including kids, with a joyful leap. He’s still learning that friends aren't bowling pins, but he’s quite affectionate once the excitement settles. Angus is almost house trained and is quite curious about other dogs, ready to make new friends. If you're searching for a goofy, resilient companion with a cheerful attitude despite his slight limp, Angus could be your perfect match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
