Good morning Reefers!:wave:
I am need of your help in finding a great home for a great dog!
Her name is Kova! She has been with me since October 21, 2013! We rescued her from one of New York City's high kill shelter where in fact she was to be put down the previous Saturday afternoon, but with the help of a couple of rescue group ladies we saved her. She is a wonderful dog, as well as gorgeous. I have been stopped a few times to be told that she is beautiful so this is not just my opinion, but public opinion too. I truly wish I could keep her. Unfortunately I do not have the strength, nor the finances to care for her. We have 3 dogs to feed, and vet, and quite frankly that is a bit much for us. Not to mention my physical shape. As some of you know my body is breaking down on me, and this girl needs a lot of exercise physically as well as mentally.
Kova is said to be a Cane Corso/Pit Bull mix at around 5 years of age. This was the information given to us by the NYC shelter. I am pretty certain that there is no Pit Bull in her, and that she is not 5 years old. Others as well as myself that know the Cane Corso see nothing but Cane Corso. Her pretty white teeth, and her energy tells me she is at the most 2 years old. She is spayed, micro chipped, and update with her vaccines.
The best home for her would be with a very active family without small children, or small dogs. Not that she would purposely hurt them, but because of her strength combined with her energy she could easily hurt them. You should also be able to demonstrate that you are the ALPHA. Like all mastiffs they can try to become the alpha in the pack IF you let them. In this respect I have not had a problem with her. My problem is that I cannot exhaust that energy, and my other female (pitie) does not like her so we can't leave her lose in the house for fear of a fight. Currently she is spending the majority of her day, and night in a crate.
Inconclusion if you, or someone you know are interested in adopting her, please let me know..
PS I am working with the rescue group that help pull her. There will be some paper work involved, and probably a small adoption fee.

I'd hate for her to go to another home only to have to be re-homed again. I think it would be good if you could also bring your dog along to. We could have the two dogs meet off the property so there is no guarding issues. In my home the big issue is between Kova & Athena. Athena is a 2.5 yr. old pit mix we rescued from a home in NJ who the people were over whelmed with 18 dogs. She came to us covered in fleas, and scars at 6 months. Athena is skittish, and therefor unpredictable. She wants nothing to do with Kova, and Kova on the other hand is very playful, and doesn't understand that she can't play with Athena. I know it is Athena because in the early days (month or year) that we had her my son was playing with her, and our other female Yava tried to get in the game. Yava jumped up to get on my son along with Athena, and accidentally landed on Athena. Well, Athena turned in one swoop, and grabbed poor Yava by the throat. Very scary; it took my two sons to get Athena off of Yava's throat. And that is my greatest fear that she would do the same to Kova so I haven't allowed much inter action between them. Kova has been fine with my son's old male, and the puppy.
