Bane is still here, 100 days later ❤️‍🩹

If you're in the market for a big d***y goofball, Bane is your guy.

Bane is a 6.5yo cane corso and he weighs about 97lbs. He is, essentially, a small horse. For the most part, he is very aware of his size which is a good thing because it prevents the whole "bull in a china shop" thing from happening. He is a little guilty of being pully when he's on a leash, especially when he first gets outside, but once his initial excitement wears off, he's much better about prancing along at your side and listening to corrections.

Bane is a 100% certified good boy. He knows lots of cues (and he gives kisses on demand, like, come on, he's perfect), he's obsessed with cars and car rides, and he's good with people (once he gets over the automatically suspicious cane corso thing). While he comes across stoic and serious at first, he's all about the play bows and treating everything like it's a game. Don't let his age fool you because he is NOT a lazy old man. He's still got plenty of energy for long walks and games of fetch and tossing around plush toys.

He's done well with other dogs while he's been here but doesn't seem to really care about them one way or another. He's much more interested in passing cars or his handlers. We're looking for a home without cats and with kids 12+ with a family who has breed, or similar breed, experience.

Since he is a "restricted breed", you must own your own home or live in a home owned by a family member.

Okay, listen.

Lady is NOT the easiest dog - at least, not at first and not for the wrong person. You give her an inch and she takes a mile. If she senses hesitation or fear, she WILL take advantage of it and act out until she gets her way like a literal toddler. She will probably get snappy if you push her boundaries too hard and too fast. She will steal the bracelets right off of your wrists. She sheds. She will try to take you out at the kneecaps. She's partially deaf. She's A LOT.

But the way this dog LOVES? It's with her entire heart and soul. She loves hard. She loves fiercely. She is loyal and devoted and will worship the ground you walk on. No one will EVER be happier to see you than she is. She's the kind of dog that will imprint on you like a baby duck. She's the kind of dog that you can call your soulmate because the connections she makes with people? Unmatched. Once this girl bonds with you? There's no breaking that bond.

She needs time and patience. She's already been done the disservice of being promised time and patience only to be given up on less than 24 hours later. She doesn't need that kind of heartbreak again.

If you're firm and consistent with her and you make it clear that you won't tolerate her shenanigans, guess what? HER SHENANIGANS STOP. She's a boundary-tester. She's an envelope-pusher. But if she respects you and you respect her? She stops testing you.

Lady Luck is good on a leash and LOVES her walks. She's a fetch expert and pretends she's not. She's good with other dogs and wary of cats. She does not like kids - she's done her time with them and she's over it (probably why she doesn't like her mustache/beard touched at first). She loves car rides and she loves water. She's a 35lb bichon mix. Mixed with what? Sunshine, that's what.

Literally all Lady Luck wants is to be with her person. That's it. She does have some separation anxiety which may dissipate as she starts to settle but crate training is recommended.

Meet Flo!

Flo wants to speak to the manager, wants the number for corporate, AND wants you fired immediately.
..except not really because she got a haircut and now looks significantly less like a Karen and more like a...whatever she is. Papillon/yorkie? Maybe? We don't know, she's, like, 4.5lbs, roughly 4yo, and just...a creature.

Flo is a professional yapper. She always has something to say - someone who can be home with her as much as possible would be best because she howls like the most pitiful pound puppy you've ever heard if she's left alone. But then when you ARE with her, she gets excited and sounds like a squeaky toy.

Needless to say, shared walls/apartment complexes may not be best.

Flo is HIGH ENERGY. She's a tiny little espresso bean - she's wiggly and bouncy and always wants to go go go. She's good on a leash but is prone to zoomies and zigzags and can be a tripping hazard but she LOVES her walks and outside time. She won't be content being carried everywhere or being pushed in a stroller.

Flo does well with other dogs but we are looking to only place her with other similar sized littles. She also does well with cats. Kids 12+ - she's tiny and fragile.

Say hello to Wobbles!

We don't know what Wobbles is. He's a mystery. He's like an amalgamation of beagle/basset hound/dachshund. He has big paws, wrinkly sausage legs, floppy ears, and puppy breath.

We DO know that Wobbles is good with kids. He loves kids.

We also know that Wobbles is not housebroken. Not even a little bit. Because he's a puppy.

He's about ten weeks old and, right now, he weighs about 8lbs. We have no idea how big he's going to get because we don't know exactly what he is so keep that in mind.

Since he's a puppy, he's going to have puppy behaviors - teething, chewing, no manners, etc. He'll need basic training...because he's a puppy. Emphasis on puppy. If you don't have the time and the patience to invest into a puppy...please don't get a puppy.

Other dogs okay, cats okay, kids okay.

You MUST have an APPROVED application in order to meet Wobbles.
