Adoption Application

Adoption donations vary (depending upon the age of the dog) and they range from $250-$450. These donations assist in covering the cost to vaccinate, spay/neuter, microchip and heartworm test our dogs. In some instances, thousands of dollars must be spent on an individual dog.

Please fill out this application only if you are 100% SERIOUS about adopting a Cane Corso Rescue. Our volunteers donate a lot of time for the screening process, so please do not fill out this application unless you are completely sure about being an adoption candidate. It is in everyone’s best interest to be completely honest when filling out this form, as we use the information you provide to best match our Cane Corso Rescues with their new “forever” homes.
