About Bricks

Meet Bricks! This handsome Cane Corso is about 2 years old and weighs around 96 pounds, making him a big and playful boy with lots of energy. He may be a little goofy, but there’s a lot of personality waiting to shine through. Bricks came to the shelter in October after spending much of his life confined to a pen. He’s steadily gaining weight from a recent low of 69 pounds and is becoming more confident by the day. Being still a little new to the big world out there, Bricks needs a patient owner who can provide guidance on basic skills like leash manners and household routines. Cane Corso experience is a must, as he needs someone familiar with his strength and temperament to help him grow. Given his progress so far, with the right person, Bricks is sure to become a wonderful companion. He gets along well with other dogs, but everyone in the household, including children, must meet him before adoption. Bricks is currently undergoing treatment for Ehrlichia but is already neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He’s a diamond in the rough, ready for a family to help him learn what love and home life are all about. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
