Canelo is the kind of dog who fits himself right into daily life without making a fuss. He sticks close to people, always quietly checking in and pressing up for just the right amount of connection. Rather than jump all over you, he’ll hang back patiently until you’re ready—perfect for folks who like a steady, respectful companion. Canelo thrives around other dogs and plays gleefully with large canine friends, but he reads the room with smaller, more reserved dogs and gives them plenty of space. He's happy to be toted around like a baby or to snuggle up in a big heap. Time spent roughhousing with his dog buddies or just having a quiet chew satisfies him. He gets along famously with cats and takes particular care not to be intrusive. Canelo is great with kids, even young ones—never jumpy or mouthy. He’s crate-trained, settles down without drama, and manages well for a few hours on his own. While his potty skills are still a work in progress, he’s improving with a regular schedule. Walking him is easy; he moves at a good pace and handles the leash well. Canelo is in Oak Park, IL. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
