No. The Presa Canario is not one of the five banned types (Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro and XL Bully). The law goes by looks, though: whether a dog is banned "depends on what it looks like, rather than its breed or name" (gov.uk), so a dog of any label with the characteristics of a banned type is treated as one. Rescues assess this before rehoming, and we never list a banned type.

With the rescue that has the dog. Today the Presa Canarios on this page are with Rescue Remedies (2), Birmingham Dogs Home (1), Destitute Animals Shelter (1), Pabs & Pals Rescue (1), Pawprints Dog Rescue (1), Three Counties Dog Rescue (1) and 1 other rescue. Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.

It depends on the dog, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 2 of the 8 Presa Canarios listed in the UK as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

It depends on the dog, not the breed. Today the rescues mark 1 of the 8 Presa Canarios listed in the UK as able to live with cats. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue.

It depends on the dog, not the breed. None of the 8 Presa Canarios listed in the UK is marked by its rescue as able to live with other dogs today. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue.

Yes: 3 listings of the 8 Presa Canarios in the UK name a cross or mix in the rescue's breed label, such as Presa Canario x Shepherd (1), Presa Canaro Cross (1) and Presa x Mastiff Crossbreed (1). Breed labels on rescue listings are often a best guess, so read each profile.

Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months and £275 for a puppy under six months, Dogs Trust charges £300 for a puppy or adult dog in England, Wales and Scotland, and Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over and £335 for dogs aged 1 to 7. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every Presa Canario on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. Rescues rehome animals rather than selling them, usually for an adoption fee: for example, Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months and £275 for a puppy under six months, and Dogs Trust £300. The fee usually goes towards vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations. If you searched "presa canario puppies for sale", the Presa Canarios here are the rescue route: you apply to the rescue and pay its adoption fee, not a sale price.

Not here: we only list dogs with rescues, so every Presa Canario on this page is adopted for the rescue's fee, which usually covers vet work already done. Whether to buy is your choice. Adopting means the rescue can tell you what it knows about the dog's history and health before you apply. If you decide to buy, Dogs Trust's breed guides suggest talking to your vet first: they say some practices offer pre-purchase consultations on likely health conditions and rough costs.

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations. Many rescue fees are under £500: Battersea charges £230 for a dog over six months, Dogs Trust £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.

Yes: 1 puppy of the 8 listed in the UK is 12 months or under by their listed age.

Not right now: none of the 8 listed in the UK is aged 7 or over by its listed age. Older Presa Canarios do come into rescue, so check back. Some rescues charge less for older dogs: Blue Cross fees start from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over.
