About Canela

Canela is in urgent need of a new home due to some behavioral concerns that require careful handling. She can show reactive behavior around new people, particularly when her food or treats are involved. In her previous home, she reacted strongly to strangers, barking and growling, which has been observed in the shelter as well. Canela is currently in training to manage resource guarding and can be highly social with those she trusts, indicating potential once she settles in. While she enjoys her walks and loves being pampered, her ideal home is likely one without other pets, as she finds them a bit too stimulating. This sweet girl needs a calm, adult-only environment where she can feel secure. With patience and positive reinforcement, Canela has the potential to become a loving companion. Canela recently came into the care of a shelter and is receiving some special attention. Fortunately, her adoption fee is waived, providing a wonderful opportunity for someone to bring her into their life with added support. If you’re ready to give Canela a second chance with the right environment, she’s waiting for you in Ridgewood, NY.
