Support and Health

How much training will I need?

Needs ongoing support

Can I be left alone?

Yes

In Thunders foster home he has been left for up to 6 hours. He is very settled and will choose to sleep the time away cuddled up on the sofa.

Any time home alone in his new home will need to be built up again after a settling-in period.

Do I have any medical conditions?

Existing conditions

Thunder has a medical condition, cherry eye, which has been corrected via an operation. This will require consideration before he is rehomed. 

Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome him and you are a successful match.  

We would also advise that any medical conditions, be that historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home. 

Due to the nature of the medical condition, a vet call with one of our onsite vets will be required before Thunder goes home. 

Who I can live with

Can I live with dogs?

Yes

Can I live with cats?

No

Can I live with small pets?

Yes, conditionally - Small pets that are kept separately

Additional information

Thunder could live with a similar sized female or castrated male, pending a onsite meet.

He is friendly with other dogs if not a little intense when first meeting, wanting to play. Being a large breed he can be too much for some dogs as he doesn’t realise his size.

If he doesn’t live with another dog he would enjoy having some walking buddies.

Family and environment

What kind of family am I looking for?

Thunder could live with children 11+ who are confidant around dogs and won’t mind his excitable, bouncy nature and size.

He absolutely loves his people and thinks he’s a lap dog, we are working on him keeping all 4 paws on the floor when greeting people which he is doing well with.

What type of environment would suit me?

Thunder is a very playful boy with lots of energy. He will require a secure private garden with at least 6-foot fencing to safely enjoy his play time.

About Thunder

Meet Thunder, the perfect dog to weather all storms!

This boy is a tornado of fun, love and goofiness. This pooch is looking for an experienced home to call his own.

Thunder enjoys going on sniffy walks and playing with his soft toys! He is a big goofball and sometimes he doesn’t realise that he doesn’t fit in people’s laps!

Thunder needs a home where support with his ongoing training can be continued.

Sensitive, strong, and wary of strangers, the Cane Corso is not a dog for the faint-hearted. But with the right training, they’ll thrive! Learn more about the breed at Ask Woodgreen.
