Mavis

Cane Corso · Female · Adult · 4 years

Mavis is a truly wonderful girlie with lots of love (and slobber) to give her forever family. She loves her food and this is coming in very handy for her ongoing training and learning new things. Mavis does have some ongoing medical needs which are currently being managed with medication. Our teams would be happy to discuss her needs with any potential adopters. Meet our beautiful girlie Mavis. She's a big gorgeous girlie with a heart full of love to give! Mavis is spending time in a foster home. Her foster carers said that she settled into home life like she had always been there and is the perfect addition! Mavis loves all the comforts of home including her big comfy bed, favourite toys (footballs and raggy toys) and all the tasty treats she could dream off. Mavis is housetrained and will let you know when she needs to go out. She's also happy being left for a full working day, however may need a little time to settle into a new environment. Mavis loves her favourite people and is full of love and affection. We think she could happily live with upper secondary school aged children who are confident around larger dogs. Mavis needs to be the only pet and is learning to wear a muzzle out and about on her walkies and is making great progress with her training!

About Mavis

What life with Mavis looks like

Mavis is a large adult cane corso dog waiting at Dogs Trust Kenilworth in Kenilworth.

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.

Note from the shelter: Has ongoing medical needs currently managed with medication

🇬🇧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 Mavis, answered.

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