Kandi

Cane Corso · Female · Young · 2 years

Say hello to our wonderful Gentle Giant Kandi. She arrived to Battersea where she has had some additional TLC. Kandi found kennel life very hard and did not have the confidence to leave her kennel to start with. With some calm interactions and patience, she has turned a new leaf! Kandi is now seeking out her favourite people and wanting to spend time with them. She was very worried of the outside world however, now she wants to go for walks. Kandi is looking for an experienced family who can help her settle with ease should she revert to being worried when transitioning from kennels into a new home. She is a sensitive soul who needs a gentle approach and some training to help continue building her life skills. Kandi is strong on lead and is therefore looking for owners who can manage her strength. She is looking for a home where she can have some quality time with her humans but also learn how to gain some independence. Kandi's new family will need to help her settle into the home at her own pace and respect her journey. Once she feels secure she is the loveliest girl!! She has shown to have a good set of skills with other dogs and enjoys interacting with them! There is no doubt she will enjoy making new canine friends in her new home. If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Kandi, you can e-mail our rehoming team on to register your interest.

About Kandi

What life with Kandi looks like

Kandi 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 Kandi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kandi?: 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 Kandi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kandi 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 Kandi 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 Kandi 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 Kandi 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.
