Violet

Cane Corso · Female · Puppy · 5 months

Meet lovely Violet, our adorable Cane Corso cross puppy with legs for days and a big heart! Violet arrived on site as a stray meaning we unfortunately do not have any information on her history. Despite this, she has taken Battersea life in her stride! She loves everyone and anyone she meets and wants nothing but all the fuss. She is a typical cuddly, playful young puppy. As Violet has been so confident around handling and new people, she could potentially live with children. However, Violet is only 5 months old and already almost 20kg! She is going to be a very big girl and at the moment she doesn't understand that. She's very bouncy and like most puppies, can be mouthy. If to live with children, Violet would be better suited to living with confident older children (10+) who will not take offence to any accidental bulldozing or be intimidated by puppy mouthing. Violet has shown some lovely budding social skills with dogs and is always down to play. Again, she forgets that she's quite big! Bigger than the adult dogs she's met! She can throw her limbs around in play, is very bouncy and doesn't know the meaning of the word 'stop'. She's a juvenile lady in need of some manners training which comes with experience. She could potentially live with a role model dog in the home but that dog will need to be robust and tolerant of juvenile behaviour. Otherwise, she is happy and ready to make all the friends outside of her home. She could also potentially live with a dog savvy-cat with the correct set up and slow introductions. Violet could live anywhere, including the inner city, so long as she has access to a private garden for training and gradual exposure to ensure she is confident facing the big wide world when her vaccines are all complete. Violet is now looking for her forever family. She is ideally looking for new owners with previous experience with large to giant breeds who are confident handling and socialising a big dog. She just wants a family she can shower with affection.

About Violet

What life with Violet looks like

Violet is a large puppy 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 Violet, answered.

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