More about Sally
Sally is a lively seven-month-old Cane Corso cross puppy. She will grow into a large, powerful dog, so she’s looking for a home that genuinely understands what that commitment involves.
Sally is still discovering the world around her and can initially appear worried when meeting new people. She gains confidence as she gets to know them and has built many positive relationships with members of staff during her time with us. Her new owners will need to give her time and patience to settle and allow her to approach new experiences at her own pace.
She really enjoys playing with toys, particularly tug games. She can become very bouncy when excited and may jump up at people during play. As she will grow into a large dog, it is important that her new owners encourage calm behaviours from the outset.
Sally is still learning to walk nicely on a lead and may jump up at her handler when she is unsure or excited. Slow, exploratory walks will be particularly beneficial, allowing her to build her confidence and support her development into a well-rounded adult dog.
She has met dogs of different sizes and has generally been very playful with them but is still learning to manage her excitement around other dogs. We recommend that she is the only dog in her new home at this stage. This will allow her to settle, develop calm habits and build positive experiences around other dogs while out on walks.
Sally came into our care as a stray, so we have no history of how she behaves in a home environment. While with us, she has shown some mild stress when left alone and has occasionally been vocal when seeking attention. Her new owners should give her plenty of time to settle before gradually introducing short periods of separation.
A secure private garden is essential, providing Sally with a safe space to enjoy some off-lead time and practise skills such as recall. As she will become a powerful dog, the garden must have sturdy, secure fencing and gates.
Sally is looking for committed owners who understand the rewards and responsibilities of raising a Cane Corso. She will need continued training, mental enrichment, positive experiences and patient guidance as she learns about the world around her.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Sally, you can e-mail our rehoming team on bow.rehomers@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.
We ask every customer to first complete our online form before we discuss an individual animal, so if you have not filled in our form yet you can find the details on how to do so here https://www.battersea.org.uk/rehoming.
Please be aware that we have a large amount of interest in rehoming our animals, so we are only able to contact those that are a match for the dog you have contacted us about.
Rehoming FAQs
Here at Battersea, we assess all of our dogs individually and create a rehoming profile for them. To ensure successful matches between people and pets, we use a combination of extensive rehoming experience, our staff expertise and the information you provided in your rehoming form. Once you complete your online registration, you’ll receive a confirmation email to let you know that we have everything we need to begin our matchmaking process, as well as the next steps of the process.
This may not always be the dog you thought it would be, which is why we ask that you see the registration form as a way of registering your interest in rehoming, not an application for a specific animal. We’re experts in making sure we find the right home for our dogs and the right dog for your home.

Once you’ve completed our online registration form, we’ll handle the rest. Your rehoming registration will be open for up to three months, and in that time, we’ll do our very best to try and match you with a pet that best suits you and your lifestyle. It can take a bit of time for us to try and match you with a pet – but we promise it’s time well spent. We’re committed to getting to know every animal at our centres before finding a match that works for our dogs and for you wherever possible.
If we are not able to match you with a dog within three months, we’ll let you know and offer guidance to help you continue your search, either at Battersea or beyond.

Our rehoming fee is £230 for dogs (over six months), £350 for a pair of dogs, or £275 for puppies (under six months). We accept cash or debit/credit card as payment (we are unable to accept cheques). Included in this cost are the following:
- Microchipping
- Initial vaccinations, flea and worming treatment
- Neutering
- A collar, identification tag and lead
- Starter pack of food, advice and special offers
- Four weeks’ free Petplan insurance as your dog settles into their new surroundings
Something to bear in mind is that our rehoming fee is just the beginning of the costs involved with owning a dog. We would recommend that before making the decision to rehome, you investigate the costs of pet food, pet insurance, grooming and fees at your local veterinary centre so that you are fully prepared for the financial implications of bringing a dog into your home.
