Kronos is a three-year-old male Cane Corso. Meet Kronos: While this gigantic boy was named after the titan who ate his own children, this Kronos welcomes all new people with an open heart and wagging tail. He is a huge lovebug, and he loves all people – he is ready to jump in your arms the second he meets you.

He gets along well with most dog friends, but sometimes he can be a little wary of other male dogs. Being a giant breed dog, Kronos does require some extra attention, including potential medical expenses. He does have what is known as “cherry eyes,” which results in red/pink bumps on his lower eyelids. He has received treatment, but this condition will need to be monitored and treated for the rest of his life.

Kronos can also have a bit of separation anxiety, so providing him with an impact crate when you’re not home, and lots of love and attention when you are will be key to keeping your Kronos happy. Come and meet this big love.
