History as we know it: Came into the shelter as a stray for a pregnant Cane Corso in active labor; Unfortunately, the shelter’s stray rules and regulations wouldn’t permit an immediate pull. This girl gave birth in a scary, loud shelter during the night with limited to no staff to support her. The morning dawn brought with it a horrific finding as she laid there in the kennel after losing all her puppies in a pool of vomit, bloody discharge, and a kennel full of diarrhea. There is no doubt she suffered immensely during what should have been a beautiful beginning for her and her babies.

This female Cane Corso is one of the newest dogs welcomed into Must Love Corsos Rescue (MLCR), a volunteer-driven nonprofit Cane Corso rescue. New intakes are currently being evaluated while new in foster care or receiving necessary medical treatment. Follow Must Love Corsos Rescue on Facebook for updates as their journey continues. Once a Corso is ready for adoption, they will move from our New Intakes to our Available for Adoption listings with updated photos and additional details.
