About Canela

Canela is a 3-year-old Shepherd weighing 63 pounds. She came to the shelter after being surrendered by her previous owner, quite nervous and scared. With time, attention, and plenty of treats, she has transformed into a sweet and affectionate companion. Canela can be a bit skittish but is like a 'little sister' you can win over with love and gentle pats. She’s house trained and enjoys the company of other dogs, though it's best to conduct a meet-and-greet at the shelter to ensure they get along. Canela would do best in a home with older children or in a no-kids environment where someone understands shy dogs. This calm and wonderful girl is just waiting for her forever home.
