Sally

Cane Corso · Female · Puppy · 8 months

Sally is a lively seven-month-old Cane Corso cross puppy. She will grow into a large, powerful dog, so she’s looking for a home that genuinely understands what that commitment involves. Sally is still discovering the world around her and can initially appear worried when meeting new people. She gains confidence as she gets to know them and has built many positive relationships with members of staff during her time with us. Her new owners will need to give her time and patience to settle and allow her to approach new experiences at her own pace. She really enjoys playing with toys, particularly tug games. She can become very bouncy when excited and may jump up at people during play. As she will grow into a large dog, it is important that her new owners encourage calm behaviours from the outset. Sally is still learning to walk nicely on a lead and may jump up at her handler when she is unsure or excited. Slow, exploratory walks will be particularly beneficial, allowing her to build her confidence and support her development into a well-rounded adult dog. She has met dogs of different sizes and has generally been very playful with them but is still learning to manage her excitement around other dogs. We recommend that she is the only dog in her new home at this stage. This will allow her to settle, develop calm habits and build positive experiences around other dogs while out on walks. Sally came into our care as a stray, so we have no history of how she behaves in a home environment. While with us, she has shown some mild stress when left alone and has occasionally been vocal when seeking attention. Her new owners should give her plenty of time to settle before gradually introducing short periods of separation. A secure private garden is essential, providing Sally with a safe space to enjoy some off-lead time and practise skills such as recall. As she will become a powerful dog, the garden must have sturdy, secure fencing and gates. Sally is looking for committed owners who understand the rewards and responsibilities of raising a Cane Corso. She will need continued training, mental enrichment, positive experiences and patient guidance as she learns about the world around her. If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Sally, you can e-mail our rehoming team on to register your interest.

About Sally

What life with Sally looks like

Sally is a large puppy/kitten cane corso dog waiting at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Sally, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sally?
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 Sally on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sally 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Sally 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 Sally 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 Sally 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.
