Messi is a 2 years, 1 month old male Cane Corso/Mix who weighs 119 pounds. Meet Messi! This big, handsome Cane Corso pup came to WARL as a stray and is ready for a fresh start. At 120 pounds and still growing, Messi is a young dog with a lot of love, personality, and potential packed into his oversized frame. Messi has enjoyed meeting new people outside at the shelter and has shown us he is equal parts playful and powerful. He loves chasing balls, carrying around his favorite stuffies, and spending time with his people. For such a big guy, Messi can be surprisingly lovely on leash, but he needs a home prepared for both his size and his breed. Messi is looking for an adult-only home with breed knowledge. and requires access to a yard or green space, and people committed to providing structure, guidance, and continued training. He would likely thrive as the only dog, where he can soak up plenty of attention. Messi can be reactive around barriers, such as barking at unfamiliar people through a fence, so his future family should be comfortable managing and working through those behaviors. Messi is a special dog who will flourish in the right hands-and for the right home/family, he will be an incredible companion.
