About Canaan

Canaan is a 50 lb Heeler/Great Pyrenees mix who was born on October 16, 2021—which makes him a peace-loving Libra. He isn’t oversized, but he’s packed with personality. Canaan’s history has some bumps: he spent his first couple of months with one family before moving on to another, but didn’t get all his vetting then. That’s sorted now—he’s neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative. Canaan fits in almost anywhere. He gets along with other dogs, cats, and people of all ages, but appreciates a little time to build trust. He’s housebroken, crate trained, and reliable with commands—he knows sit, wait, leave it, back, crate, bed, place, quiet, outside, potty, get a toy, come, and even “get in the car.” Training comes easy to him; he’s eager to work, quick to please, and especially loves treats. Playfulness shows in little things—he likes holding stuffed toys for comfort and never shreds them. A great pick for walks, jogs, or curling up at home. Canaan is ready to settle in with a new family who values a good-natured, trainable companion. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
