Foster care can be a difficult but rewarding job. 

Foster care providers understand that this work is a labor of love and foster families willingly take in an extra dog to care for as if they were adding that dog to their family until a permanent home can be found. This could take just a few days but it could also take several months. 

Foster homes are usually the transitional stop from a shelter type situation to a permanent home for our rescue Corsos. The importance of this home to the dog is beyond words. In many cases, the foster home is saving the dogs life from a kill shelter. Sometimes the foster home is the first step in getting an abused or abandoned Corso back on the road to recovery; both physically & emotionally. 

Cane Corso Rescue cannot thank our foster homes enough for all they have done this past year alone.

We are looking for more foster homes all over the country, so please consider opening your heart and your home to a Corso in need. It is a very rewarding experience, and it's something we can all do to give back to our beloved breed. Every one of you can make a difference!

Millie was an extreme case of emaciation and spent her first 3 weeks at the vet where she received IV fluids, vitamins, and plenty of meals. Most people that looked at her thought she should be destroyed, but Millie had a will to live. Thankfully we have some rescue friendly vets that "foster" for us too! She is currently with me in foster care, and she has packed on quite a few more pounds! Millie is healthy and just the sweetest dog you could ever want to meet. She has also been a pleasure to foster and will be staying with me until her perfect home can be found. Think about making room in your home for a "Millie" in need. You'll be happy you did.

Tessa came into rescue with an infected dog bite on her head that had gone untreated. The infection was so severe, her eyes were swollen closed from the drainage in her head.
 
Liz fostered her and doctored her up before she made the trip to Dana.  Now, the only thing that can be found on her head are lipstick kisses!!

Here's Adonnis, found on the streets of NY, skinny and sickly looking!

Estrella somehow ended up in a not so nice place called a kill shelter in NJ. She was thin and not a very happy camper! Estrella went to a foster home with Tammy. She's a whole new Corso; new look, new attitude!
