Betty

Cane Corso · Female · Young · 1 year

Meet our adorable Betty, a girl with a heart almost as big as her body! She is a young Cane Corso mastiff type who loves to clown around, dig in our sand pit and play with her toys. Her unique colouring makes her a real beauty queen who turns heads out and about. Betty is a larger lady who despite her size, is still a juvenile dog in terms of her behaviours. She loves people and does like to play with other dogs, but can vocal in her play and too much for some dogs. This lovely girl will benefit from owners who understand the mastiff breed and their breed traits and who can physically manage a larger dog and the socialising that comes with them. Betty loves her food, which is helpful for her training! She can understandably be uncomfortable around people if they touch her or interact her while she is eating, so her new owners will need to be sympathetic and savvy to this, ensuring she has designated quiet areas for meal times or if she has a chew. Betty will need a home with a private garden where she can burn off her energy - bonus if her owners are able to provide with a child's sand pit to play in! She will need easy access to green walking spaces and could live in a home with teenagers. g team on to register your interest.

About Betty

What life with Betty looks like

Betty is a large young adult cane corso dog waiting at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Betty, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Betty?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Battersea Dogs & Cats Home handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Betty on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Betty if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Battersea Dogs & Cats Home will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Betty already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Betty isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Battersea Dogs & Cats Home early rather than rehoming privately; they know Betty and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
