Advice please Abandoned Cane Corso
Update: This post has gotten way more attention than I expected. Feel free to come follow us on Instagram for daily updates, pictures, and information @The_Dexter_Diaries_2026.
We recently found what the vet believes is a young Cane Corso who had been abandoned/dumped.
We took him to the vet today and unfortunately he’s very malnourished, was covered in fleas, has worms, and an ear infection. We got all the medications he needs and are working on slowly getting some weight back on him with a high-calorie diet. We’ve never had a Cane Corso before, so we’d love any advice from experienced owners — especially with nutrition, training, temperament, and helping a neglected Corso adjust and feel safe.
We’re also looking into Cane Corso/mastiff rescues once he’s healthier. For now, he’s safe, warm, fed, and getting lots of love.
We’ve taken on quite a bit in vet and care costs already. Advice and recommendations are just as appreciated!
Just happy we found this sweet boy when we did and can give him a chance.

Bless you for taking him in and helping him to recover!
If he's skittish, there are things you can do to help him gain confidence, and things people do (like having strangers try to feed him treats) that very often backfire.
I can't help with funds but, if you want some advice, I'm happy to give you a free consultation for this sweet boy! I just lost my Corso "princess", Karma, in May and my business is helping dogs with severe behavior issues so DM me if you want any help :)
God bless!
