Wisconsin is one of the dream places for a dog like the cane corso with its expansive open fields, low population density, and calmer lifestyle. As long as you’re an owner who can handle a powerful dog like the cane corso, you will find these dogs to be adding so much joy to your life.
One of the best parts about this for Wisconsin residents is that buying a puppy from a breeder isn’t the only option for having a cane corso. With many cane corsos waiting to be adopted in Wisconsin, you can also adopt one, which will give a dog in need a second chance at life and save more than one life.
Even though the adoption process for a cane corso can be lengthier than adopting most other dog breeds, Dog Academy is here to guide you through the process. Continue reading as we review how to adopt a cane corso in Wisconsin.
Cane Corso Adoption in Wisconsin
Adopting a cane corso in Wisconsin starts with understanding if this guardian dog breed is the right choice for you. Although cane corsos are well-suited to life in Wisconsin, you must set the right expectations before doing anything about adopting one. Read our cane corso guide to determine this for yourself.
If you find the cane corso to be an ideal dog to adopt, the rest should be similar regardless of where you’re located within Wisconsin, whether in Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, or quieter towns. You will need to locate a suitable cane corso to adopt after setting preferences on age, sex, coat color, and background, which you can do so using our online adoption portal listing cane corsos for adoption in Wisconsin.
After finding a cane corso dog to adopt, begin the adoption process. You will likely need to complete a detailed adoption application form that asks you about your experience with similar dog breeds, your home, work hours, existing pets, and family. Being honest is important for the shelter/rescue to make the right choice. After all, they know the cane corso you want to adopt better than anyone.
Be patient as your adoption application is processed, as it can take several weeks, especially if others want to adopt the same dog. Assuming you get the approval, you will be asked to come in to sign the adoption documents and pay the adoption fee. Make sure to bring a valid photo ID so all the papers can be completed before you can take your newly adopted cane corso to your Wisconsin home.

How Much Does It Cost to Adopt a Cane Corso in Wisconsin?Wisconsin residents adopting a cane corso should set aside about $300 to $500 for adoption fees. Even if you’re adopting a cane corso puppy in Wisconsin, this amount should cover the cost of microchipping, spaying/neutering, and vaccinations. While the adoption fees are fairly high, they are more affordable than the cost of buying a puppy from a breeder, which can be up to $4,000 in Wisconsin from a reputable breeder. |
How Should I Train a Cane Corso?Cane corso training requires structure, consistency, and lots of practice. These dogs tend to have independent minds, so they may not always want to follow the owner’s direction. Keep training consistent and focus more on obedience, leash manners, and basic skills to ensure your cane corso is manageable in different public situations. With enough practice and prioritizing the right things, you will have a well-trained dog that listens. To guide your adopted cane corso appropriately during training sessions, check out our online courses. We have affordable video lessons on obedience, puppy training, crate training, ending excess barking, eliminating reactivity, and more. |
