Big dog lovers, where you at?! If blocky heads, squishy faces, and irresistible wrinkles are your weakness, Rodney Roo is about to steal your whole heart.

He’s the definition of a gentle giant, bold in size, soft in expression, and impossible to ignore. Rodney isn’t just a big dog… he’s a statement piece with a heart to match.

Rodney Roo is a Cane Corso mix approximately 4 years old and is on a weight gain journey. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. But based off looks along, this boy definitely has Cane Corso mixed in there somewhere. We also believe that once his gets to his healthy ideal weight, we believe he will reach a weight range close to 100lbs. So big dog lovers, where you at?!
Rodney is dog friendly and did great meeting all of the dogs we introduced him too. His gentle natured personality even shows itself when meeting new dogs. He'll do a little sniff, say hello and then he's off doing his own thing, finding a spot to lay in the grass and bask in the sun, or off exploring in the yard. Rodney has met a handful of dogs, all with different personalities and has even been with some wild younger playful dogs and was tolerant of their youthfulness as well. He is not a playful guy with other dogs, he gives off more of the laid back, distinguished gentleman, hang back and watch type vibes around other dogs. He is completely unbothered when other dogs are playing around him having a good time too. He’s not one to be a party pooper. In a home, Rodney would be best placed with a dog that has the same tempo as him. A dog that enjoys the company of other dogs, isn't wanting a playmate or interested in playing with other dogs, and will respect that Rodney isn't a playful guy. He would also do great as your one and only too if you don't have other dogs. He does not need the company of another dog to help him feel comfortable or to fulfill his energy needs. Rodney is a loving boy all on his own and he is super laid back.
When it comes to training, say no more! This handsome fella is ready to learn! It also helps that food is one of Rodney's love languages. He's incredibly treat motivated, and the moment he knows you've got a snack, his full attention is locked on you and he's ready to learn! This makes him a dream to train. He already knows how to sit and shake, and honestly....the shake might be his signature move. He offers his paw so enthusiastically and so often it's impossible not to smile. His shake is easily one of the cutest things about him.
This gentle giant will thrive in a home that appreciates both his size and his laid-back lifestyle. While he’s a big boy, he’s refreshingly low energy and happiest having space to stretch out, lounge, and enjoy life at a relaxed pace. A home with a securely fenced backyard is ideal so he can take leisurely strolls, sniff around, and enjoy some fresh air without feeling confined.
He’s best suited for a family or individual who understands large breeds and can offer him a structured environment with plenty of room both indoors and out. After a little outdoor time, he’s perfectly content to head back inside and settle in for some quality rest and relaxation by your side. Rodney is looking for a home that will continue supporting him through his weight gain journey, spoil him with treats, and appreciate a loyal companion who will gladly offer his paw (over and over again) in exchange for affection.
We are willing to test Rodney Roo with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
