About Canelo

Canelo’s family made the difficult decision to rehome him after concerns about his behavior with infant twins. He’s absolutely fine with older children and thrives in a home where toddlers aren’t part of the mix. Everyday life with Canelo means lounging together—he loves sprawling out for TV time and never turns down a belly rub. Sweet-natured and easygoing, he’s completely content as a couch potato but still enjoys gentle company and isn’t bothered by other dogs or even cats. Canelo is housebroken, neutered, and current on his vaccinations. He will do best in a home with adults or families with older children, where he can settle in and keep up his mellow routine.
