Big Papa (Jonesy)'s Story

Meet Big Papa Jonesy 🚀<br/><br/>This handsome boy here is Big Papa Jonesy. This stunningly gorgeous boy is a 5 year old Cane Corso / All American Mix. Weighing in at a whopping 70lbs, this guy is more than able to be your scary dog privilege you're looking for.<br/><br/>Now, Jonesy came to us from a not super great living situation. We cannot even begin to imagine all the things this poor boy has gone through so far in his life. When he first came into the shelter, he was pretty shut down. Cowering in the corner, not wanting to move or be around anyone. Luckily, we were able to have a trainer take him for a couple weeks to work with him and help this lad build his confidence back. He came back pretty much a brand new dog afterwards. <br/><br/>Jonesy still could use some gentle guidance. He isn't a dog that would do well in a lot of households. He doesn't do well with kids or other dogs (likely due to the situation we got him from). Due to this, we have not attempted cat testing. Jonesy can still be unsure about most strangers, so keep that in mind that he will likely not be the type of dog that you bring with you to most outings that would involve him being around a lot of other people. That said, however, Jonesy has a heart for adventure. Nothing gets him as excited as seeing you pull out that leash to take him on a walk. He makes frequent trips to local pet friendly stores to explore and for light socialization, but we are always vigilant and don't let strangers come up and pet him without his consent. He does not do well around other dogs and will need to keep his distance from all of them. There's no sugarcoating it - Jonesy is a reactive dog, and that is something that will likely never fully go away, even with more professional training. <br/><br/>Jonesy's ideal home is where he is your only pet. Preferably a quiet home with someone who has experience with reactive dogs or is willing to get some training to help both you and Jonesy learn the ropes together. While a lot of the things mentioned above might put you off considering him, Jonesy really does have a big heart underneath all that fear and trauma. Once he bonds with you, he is the most loyal companion one could ever ask for. This kinder soul is more than ready to find his peace at a forever home, one just for him. 🐾
