My story

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

What’s caramel brown, has a heart-shaped face, and is kissy and wiggly all over? Canela!! Canela is just a puppy at a little over a year old and is an adorable, affectionate, delightful little girl.

Canela lived in one home since she was eight weeks old and her former people reported that she is a very loving dog who was house and crate trained, loves toys, is playful and likes to go hiking. She’s looking for a furever home where she can grow up with a committed family.

Canela’s volunteer friends would sure take her home if they could- here’s what one of them had to say:

“Canela is a little half-tail, half-pint cutie patutie! She was very excited and friendly to get leashed up and head over to a play yard. In the yard she went potty and then spent lots of time trying to get in the best position for snuggles and kisses! Whether it was by my feet, or on the bench next to me, she tried to get herself as close as possible so that I would be sure to give her plenty of pets! She’s a wonderful, loving pup!”

Canela shares her kennel with another PACC pup has been social, playful and easygoing when meeting other dogs in playgroup. She’d like to meet any resident dogs before heading home to ensure a good fit. If you’re looking for a wonderful young pup to grow up in your family, come meet Canela today!
