Nanna

Cane Corso · Female · Young · 2 years

Nanna is looking for a home with loving and active adopters who can take her on sniffy adventures in quieter walking areas, who will take the time to help her settle in and give her all the love and attention she deserves. She is a sweet girl who can live with older primary school children who are confident around bouncy and playful dogs, who will understand that she can be a little clumsy when excited, who will play with her nicely and will give her space to rest when needed. Nanna can get a little frustrated around other dogs initially so would prefer to be the only dog in the home and not have dogs walking past the house all the time, she could however build up to having polite and friendly walking buddies. Nanna is a clever but busy girl, once she has had a good play she could engage in training in short, sweet sessions as long as a tasty treat is on offer. Nanna would like her own private, secure garden where she can potter and have zoomies at her leisure. She settles nicely so could be left for up to 6 hours, any leaving time would need to be built up slowly once she has had time to settle into her new home. Nanna will need to meet her adopters a few times prior to going home so please bear this in mind when applying. Big, cuddly girl Nanna is a 2 and a half year old Corso who loves to play and explore. She hasn’t shown much interest in toys since being at the centre, but does love a good zoomie session with her favourite people, she can be a little clumsy with stopping, she enjoys a good roll too, after zoomies she will often roll on her back and have a good wiggle around. She likes a fuss, especially a back scratch, she will lean into you for more. This super sweet and happy girl; is ready to find her new home.

About Nanna

What life with Nanna looks like

Nanna is a large young adult cane corso dog waiting at Dogs Trust Canterbury in Chestfield.

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 Nanna, answered.

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