BUDDY

Cane Corso · Female · Adult · 8 years

BUDDY, born 10.2018. Breed: Cane Corso, male. Weight approx. 65 kg | Height: 80 cm. Location: foster home in Germany (582***). Food sponsorship possible. Buddy is a surrendered dog from Germany. His past has been marked by poor treatment and frequent changes of owner. He is very insecure and needs to learn that he absolutely does not have to bear any responsibility and that his humans will take care of everything. He has learned to accept people after a few meetings and management by us, and now even greets them happily at the gate. Other males are no problem here on the grounds, but when meeting other dogs he cannot stand them, especially barking males. He loves water above all! He enjoys swimming and splashing around, though he makes an exception for showers. He has found his appetite again, so treats can now be used in training. Being left alone causes him great stress. He is being trained for this, and the training should be continued in his future home. Buddy is alert, as is typical of his breed, and would be delighted with a calm, large property where he can be a lap dog but also be alert and watchful! A female dog of his physical size for romping, playing, and running around would make his home perfect.

BUDDYgeb.: 10.2018. Rasse: Cane CorsoRüde. Gewicht etwa 65 kg | Größe : 80cmAufenthaltsort: Pflegestelle in Deutschland (582***)Futterpatenschaft möglich Buddy ist ein Abgabetier aus Deutschland. Seine Vergangenheit ist von schlechtem Umgang und häufigen Besitzer-Wechseln geprägt. Er ist sehr unsicher und muss lernen, dass er absolut keine Verantwortung tragen muss und sich seine Menschen um alles kümmern. Er hat gelernt, Menschen nach ein paar Treffen und Management durch uns zu akzeptieren und dann sogar freudig am Tor zu begrüßen. Andere Rüden sind hier auf dem Gelände kein Problem, bei Hundebegegnungen kann er aber, vor allem bei bellenden Rüden, gar nicht ab. Er liebt Wasser über alles! Beim Schwimmen und Planschen - beim Duschen macht er da allerdings eine Ausnahme. Er hat seinen Appetit wieder gefunden und so kann man jetzt auch Leckerchen im Training einsetzen. Allein bleiben bereitet ihm großen Stress. Darauf wird er trainiert, was in seinem zukünftigen Zuhause weitergeführt werden sollte. Buddy ist rassetypisch wachsam und würde sich über ein ruhiges und großes Grundstück, wo er Schoßhund aber auch wachsam sein darf, sehr freuen! Eine ihm körperlich gewachsene Hündin zum Toben, Spielen und Rennen würde sein Zuhause perfekt machen.

About BUDDY

What life with BUDDY looks like

BUDDY is an extra-large adult cane corso dog waiting at Underdog Rescue e.V. in Germany.

An 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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting BUDDY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about BUDDY?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Underdog Rescue e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw BUDDY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt BUDDY if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Underdog Rescue e.V. whether they will for BUDDY, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is BUDDY already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for BUDDY. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Underdog Rescue e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if BUDDY isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Underdog Rescue e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know BUDDY 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 (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
