About Canelo

Canelo is a gentle two-year-old boy who truly deserves a loving home. Having spent his early life in neglectful conditions, he was tied to a fence overnight when his owner went to jail. He arrived at the rescue underweight and dealing with fleas and dermatitis, yet he maintains a sweet disposition. Canelo gets along well with other dogs, making him a great companion. Currently, he is in boarding while we wait for available space at the rescue. It’s time for Canelo to experience the joy of a nurturing family who can show him that a home is not just about survival, but safety, comfort, and unconditional love. Ready to fall in love?
