Napolean

While
HugABull normally deals strictly with bullies, when a small rural
shelter called and asked us to help place this boy, we couldn't
say no. Cane Corsos are magnificent dogs, but require an experienced
owner capable of handling a large, sensitive, powerful animal
bred to be protective of home and family, and the shelter he was
at simply didn't have the resources to place Napoleon safely.
Napoleon was beautiful to say the least, and his habit of placing
his gigantic, squishy, drooly face in our laps and staring up
at us with sad eyes won us over completely. He was about a year
old, completely untrained, not housebroken, and had obviously
never been inside of a house. We got Napoleon into a foster home
experienced with mastiffs and other guardian breeds, where he
was able to learn some basic obedience and manners, including
housebreaking, as well as be socialized to all the things he'd
be likely to encounter on a daily basis. After a few weeks in
his foster home, Napoleon was ready for adoption. Napoleon now
lives on a ranch in the Interior with a semi-retired couple who
have mastiff experience. He has the run of the house and property,
and loves following his owners around the farm during the daily
chores, and keeping the couch warm at night.
