Nellie

Cane Corso · Female · Young · 2 years

Nellie is a beautiful girl, who would love owners that are experienced with the breed to ensure she is set up for success in her forever home. She is loving, sweet and friendly with everyone she meets! She is fully house-trained, and travels well in the car. Nellie would love an active home that are willing to take her on fun adventures with her and let her sniff until her heart's content! We can't wait to see her in her forever home! Meet gorgeous girl, Nellie! Nellie is a 2-year old Cane Corso looking for her forever home. Nellie is looking to be the only dog in the home, but can make doggy friends out and about! She can be a bit full on, so dogs of a similar size and playstyle would be best suited for Nellie! Any children in the home should be of older primary school age and above, as she is very friendly but can be a bouncy girl! She loves to meet new people, but can jump up so will need some guidance with her manners. Nellie loves her walks, enjoying a good sniff and an explore of the world around her. She can pull on lead, so will need owners that are willing to work on this with her, but she is a wonderful girl so full of love! Nellie is a sweet girl, who loves her people and would prefer to not be left on her own for long periods of time. She is looking for a family that are able to build her time up alone nice and slowly, but should be happy to be left for a couple of hours once settled. She is crate trained, though, so this will be a good aid in this. Nellie is a gorgeous girl, and we can't wait to see her thriving!

About Nellie

What life with Nellie looks like

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

A 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 Nellie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nellie?: 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 Nellie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nellie 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Nellie 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 Nellie 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 Nellie 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.
