My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Canik!
Canik is a big, lovable teddy bear who’s happiest when he’s cuddling up with his people and getting all the attention he can. He’s friendly and gentle with everyone he meets — kids, adults, and even strangers — and always ready to greet new friends with a wagging tail.

This handsome boy is both house trained and crate trained, and he walks beautifully on a leash. He’s even been a perfect gentleman on outings to Lowe’s! Canik currently lives with three kids, a cat, and two other dogs. He does enjoy playfully teasing the cat and trying to get him to join in on the fun (the cat, however, does not share his enthusiasm), but he’s never shown aggression. He just needs supervision to resist the temptation of sneaking snacks from the litter box!

Canik loves his toys — especially ones with stuffing, which he takes great joy in removing. Every now and then he’ll need a reminder about which toys belong to him and which belong to the kids, since throw pillows and stuffed animals can look pretty tempting.

He’s playful outside and gets along well with the family’s small dog, though the two sometimes have little disagreements indoors (mostly thanks to the small dog). Canik knows sit, stay, and shake, and he’s always eager to please — especially if there are treats involved.

If you’re looking for a sweet, cuddly companion who adores his people, loves food, and brings joy wherever he goes, Canik is ready to melt your heart and fill your home with love.

My adoption fee of $450 includes up-to-date vaccinations, dewormer, and heartworm/flea prevention. Plus, a microchip that is already registered to you! What more could you ask for?
