Coco

Cane Corso · Female · Young · 1 year

Coco is a beautiful girl, who is looking for her perfect home. Coco can be left for 1-4 hours but needs this time to be built up slowly. Coco would prefer a home where there aren't too many visitors initially as she does find this worrying, but once her confidence has been built, we believe she will be a brave girl. On lead, Coco can pull, but she does enjoy her treats so is receptive to positive reward based training. Coco will need to be muzzled - only as a precaution - for veterinary handling as this is rather spooky for her. She may need some reminding of her house-training in a new home, but with a set routine, she will be golden! We can't wait to see this gorgeous girl getting all the love she deserves. Meet Coco, a beautiful 1.5-year old Akita x Corso looking for her forever home! Coco is a one of a kind dog, with so much character and personality but needs to trust you before she shows it! She is worried by new people, and needs some time to build that trust. However, once you've made it into the best friend club, she is the sweetest and goofiest dog you will ever meet! Due to her worry around strangers, all children in the home should be 16yrs+. Coco would really benefit from living with another dog that is able to teach her that the world isn't so scary! She loves to have a play, but also spend time apart from her dog friends and builds a lot of confidence when spending time with them. Coco absolutely loves to play with her handlers here in the centre, enjoying a game of chase as she zooms around! Coco will lean into you to ask for cuddles and really dog have a heart of gold. Being a young, timid girl, she needs an understanding and patient family willing to offer her the stability and confidence she needs! We can't wait to see her thriving.

About Coco

What life with Coco looks like

Coco is a young adult cane corso dog waiting at Dogs Trust Cardiff in Cardiff.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Coco, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Coco?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Cardiff handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Coco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Coco if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Cardiff 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Coco 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 Coco 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 Dogs Trust Cardiff early rather than rehoming privately; they know Coco 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.
