Canelo is a 5-year-old sweetheart who came to the shelter after his owner sadly fell ill and could no longer care for him. Despite this big life change, Canelo has remained an incredibly loving and people-oriented dog who just wants to be close to his humans. Canelo is affectionate, social, and loves meeting new people. He enjoys going for walks, is housebroken, and already knows how to use a crate, making him a great companion for someone looking for a dog with a solid foundation. Canelo will do best in a home with dog experience and as the only pet, as he can be reactive toward other animals. He also has a bit of an adventurous side and may try to go exploring if left unattended, so a secure yard and supervision are important to keep him safe. At his core, Canelo is a loyal, loving dog who just needs someone willing to understand him and give him the stability he deserves. In return, he’ll offer endless affection and companionship. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend, Canelo is ready to meet you!
