Gemma is a Cane Corso and is expected to grow between 80-120 pounds! Cane corsos, like all puppies, require a great deal of socialization! Everything is new in this big world and exposure is important! Introductions to as many animals, children, people and especially men will help her learn confidence and safety with people.

Gemma is working on potty training and will need a calm and patient guardian to help continue this process. She is an active breed and will need a home who can keep up with her energy. Due to the Cane Corso’s size, yard access would be preferred to ensure their exercise needs are met. They are highly intelligent breeds and will need consistent training with positive reinforcement methods to continue along their development. They are gentle giants, and would do well in a home with dog savvy children.

Due to the high volume of interest for puppies, it is in the animal’s best interests that we prioritize in-person applicants as first-come, first-consideration. Viewing hours are 12pm-3pm Tues-Sun.**

If you would like to meet Gemma, please come by the West Van shelter in-person to apply!
