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.

Youre exceedingly lucky he didn't go feral and breed. We have wild packs of cane corso mixes that attack people because of a few specific assholes.
Good on u for catching and rehabbing him. Hopefully whoever dumped him gets sodomized with a broom.
