Fight Against Breed Racism Rescue

🛑SOME BREEDS ARE NOT MEANT FOR CERTAIN HOMES OR PEOPLE! DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE GETTING ANY BREED, TO ENSURE YOUR LIFESTYLE AND KNOWLEDGE THAT CAN HANDLE WHAT THAT BREED NEEDS!🛑

IMPORTANT READ‼️

Want a Cane Corso, Presa, a fluffy Great Pyrenees??? Then be prepared. They NEED A JOB!

Let’s talk liability when you own a guardian breed, because some of yall are out here genuinely shocked that your Cane Corso… guards.
This is a dog bred for centuries to protect property, livestock, people, and occasionally your feelings when you’re having a day. This isn’t a doodle who picked up a side hustle. This is a dog whose entire ancestry is basically security detail.

So when your Corso posts up at the window like a federal employee waiting for a vibe shift, that is not reactivity. That is employment. That is her checking her perimeter, logging sightings, and mentally filing the landscapers under “suspicious leaf-disturbers.”

And if you don’t train or supervise that kind of genetic power? The liability is yours. Full stop.

Your dog doesn’t care that you live in a quiet cul-de-sac or that your neighbors wants every dog to behave like they’re in a retirement brochure. Guardian breeds don’t read. They read body language. They read threat levels. They read energy in the room before you even enter it.

Training is not optional. Management is not optional. Understanding genetics is not optional unless you enjoy late-night incident reports.

If your Corso growls, alerts, blocks, body checks, patrols, barks, shadows you, or gives someone the “I see you, buddy” look… that is not misbehavior. That is instinct. That is wiring. That is her showing up for her shift. Respect that!

Your dog is not broken. She is doing exactly what she was built to do for centuries.

So be responsible and proactive. Teach her what actual threats look like. Reinforce neutrality. Give her jobs that don’t involve scaring your Amazon driver. Advocate for her. Train daily( training never stops, you are working with your dog from the time you open your eyes until you close them for the night). And stop acting surprised when a working-bred dog shows up ready to work! Most of all dont punish, its in their genetics. Be smart, manage and understand.

Because if you don’t give structure to a guardian breed, they’ll freelance. And trust me… you do not want a freelance Cane Corso making management decisions!

Let's stop blaming dogs for behaving as their genetics have been bred for. Honestly, look at yourself. You picked this breed and didn't nourish the mind and body of what that specific breed needs. It's not your dog's fault, its yours. Take accountability!

In France, abandoning a dog is more than just irresponsible — it’s a criminal offence. People who leave pets behind or neglect them risk prison time and heavy fines.

Recent reforms have strengthened protections: pet shops will no longer be allowed to sell cats or dogs — only animals available for adoption through official shelters will be allowed.

Owners must also sign a “commitment contract” before adopting or buying a pet. This contract outlines the responsibilities and needs of the animal, helping curb impulse adoptions that often lead to abandonment.

These measures underscore France’s growing commitment to treating pets as sentient beings deserving protection, respect, and lifelong care — not disposable commodities.

Important update from F.A.B.R.

After months of repeated issues with our email provider, we’ve made the difficult decision to prioritize security and confidentiality over keeping the current addresses. As of November 4th, all current F.A.B.R. email addresses will be deactivated.

We suspect a former pack member has been responsible for ongoing hacks and the many outages and lost messages — which has led to missed communications beyond our control. To protect your information and improve reliability, we will be moving to a more secure email system.

Please watch for a post within the next week announcing our new email addresses. We appreciate your continued support and sincerely apologize for any messages we missed. We’re actively working to make sure this does not happen again.

Thank you,
The F.A.B.R. Team

F.A.B.R. would like to address a recent anonymous, unsigned letter left in our mailbox and the subsequent call to animal control about dog barking.

First, let’s get the facts straight: we are legally zoned to have a kennel and we are actively preparing for our Haldimand County kennel license inspection. We’re doing everything required to be fully legal and accountable.

Please understand what happens here. These are not “just dogs.” Many of these animals have been through hell more than once. Humans have failed them. F.A.B.R. specializes in rescuing dogs with behavioral challenges, aggression, and severe human-related trauma. We work one-on-one with each dog to find the root causes and implement comprehensive behavior-modification plans. We are often the last resort for dogs other systems can’t help. We collaborate with animal control and animal welfare agencies across Ontario to save and rehabilitate these animals.

These dogs have earned the right to be free, to be vocal. Many arrived with mouths duct-taped; now they can express themselves, and they love it. That said, we absolutely understand that constant, unmanaged barking is not acceptable, and we do not allow it.

Since receiving the anonymous complaint, we have been carefully tracking barking. In a full week of monitoring, the single longest day of barking totaled 58 minutes between 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. We work with the dogs daily during those hours and again during evening rounds from about 6:00–8:00 p.m. If several dogs on a property only bark a combined 58 minutes across that span, we find that reasonable given their histories and needs.

No other neighbors have complained. Many come by to offer donations, help, or encouragement. If you have an issue, please don’t hide behind anonymity, come speak with us directly so we can explain the importance of the work we do at the Canine Psychology Ranch and find solutions together.

We defend our dogs fiercely. We will not be bullied or threatened. This is our home and our safe haven, and we are not going anywhere. If you can’t accept that, then either work with us or move on, we won’t abandon the animals we’ve committed to.

To the person who sent the anonymous letter: your cowardice hurts the very dogs we fight so hard to save. Your actions target innocent animals who have fought for freedom and love. Shame on you! SHAME ON YOU!

To our supporters and neighbors who understand and stand with our mission, thank you. Your donations, time, and compassion mean the world to the F.A.B.R. dogs. We love this community and look forward to continuing our work for canines in need.

The F.A.B.R.Pack 🐾❤️
