About Candace

Candace is a delightful 4-year-old mixed breed pup, weighing about 35 lbs. She appears to be a blend of German Wirehaired Pointer and Cattle Dog. Candace thrives as a loyal companion and enjoys following her favorite humans around, though she can be shy at first. Her playful personality shines through as she does her adorable little tippy taps and creates a collection of dog toys. This lovely girl is both potty trained and crate trained, making her a good fit for most homes. She walks nicely on a leash and is dog friendly, but she does not get along with cats. One thing to note about Candace is her discomfort around men; she tends to avoid them entirely. This behavior is something we are addressing with future evaluations to explore possible anxiety treatments. A female-only foster home would be ideal for her comfort and happiness. If you're seeking a sweet, affectionate companion with plenty of character, Candace might be the perfect match. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
