About Canelo

Canelo is a charming little companion who came to us from Yuma. Previously returned due to a bite incident stemming from a "startle" situation, he needs an experienced adopter who can provide a stable environment. A calm adult home with one or two small dogs would suit him best, as he can be unsure about larger dogs. He warms up more to women but can eventually build trust with men as well. In his foster home, Canelo blossomed in just three days. He’s become an affectionate lap dog who likes to hug, showcasing just how much he thrives in a nurturing setting. Canelo is likely house trained, using a dog door and signaling when he needs to go out. He gets along well with other dogs but requires a routine and predictability in his life. This little guy will benefit from professional training to help him overcome any lingering fears. If you believe you have the right environment for Canelo, consider giving him the loving home he needs. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
