Canelo is a handsome mixed-breed whose name means “Cinnamon,” and just like the spice, he’s warm, sweet, and absolutely irresistible! He’s a “love hard, play hard” kind of dog who gives his whole heart to his people and fills every room with joy.
Canelo thrives on both affection and fun - whether he’s zooming around with his favorite toys or leaning in for pets, he approaches life with energy, enthusiasm, and a big, loving heart. He’s house-trained, does well with children, and can benefit from a dog meet to see if he clicks with other furry friends.
A bit apprehensive with strangers, Canelo would do best in a single-family home, townhome, or garden-style apartment where he can feel secure while exploring his surroundings. Stunning, spirited, and full of sweetness, Canelo is the perfect mix of fun and loyalty, ready to bring adventure, love, and a little cinnamon spice into your life.
If you are interested in adopting Canelo, please visit the shelter during our adoption hours.
