About Canelo

Meet Canelo, a charming 7.5-year-old chihuahua ready for his forever home. Weighing in at 10.4 pounds, he has a big personality packed into a small frame. Canelo was surrendered with his brother when their family faced deportation, and now he’s eager to find someone who will cherish and love him as he deserves. This little guy is more of a couch potato than an athlete, but he enjoys short daily walks and some indoor play. Canelo is well-behaved—neutered, crate-trained, and house trained on a schedule. He loves to give hugs and is always smiling, making him the perfect cuddly companion. Canelo gets along well with small and medium-sized dogs. Although he's a bit intimidated by larger dogs, with proper introduction, he can really enjoy the company of all sizes. Currently, Canelo is being fostered near Houston, but he can be transported to you through our rescue's transport services. Adopt this joyful pup for a fee of $350, plus additional costs for necessary papers and transport. He’s microchipped and fully vaccinated, ready to join your family and bring endless love.
