There are no rescue groups in Canada, and the ones in the States are either overwhelmed or do not deal with Corsos in Canada, or the ones with behavioral problems in general. The prognosis looks bleak, for the dog, possibly for the family, definitely for the public. However, as long as they are sold, and no restrictions is put on owning them, there is nothing much one can do. According to the law, he is property of someone, has not hurt anyone yet, and one would hope that he does that rather sooner than later, because in a few months, chances are that he will not only hurt but be strong and driven enough to kill. Apparently up to this point - with a dog of this nature - plenty of mistakes were made, and only time will tell where this will lead. There are not many people, who can [or will] deal with Corsos and harness their shortcomings. For this reason alone, even if the family gives him up to a pound, it is very unlikely that he is going to make it out of there. The law must change, and prevent the breeding and sale of them, at least in urban areas. Otherwise frustration is as far we can go. Around here I've yet to see one ending up in the right hands, for the right reasons.
