Meet Chanel
Name: Chanel
Age: 1 year, 3 months
Gender: Female
Weight: 13 kg / 28 lbs
Breed: Mixed Wire Hair
Color: Black
Health
Spayed
Vaccinated
Heartworm Negative
Personality & Behavior
Good with dogs? Yes
Good with kids? Yes
Good with cats? No – she has a strong small-prey drive
Resource guarding? No
Vocal? Alert barker
Shedding? Low to moderate – regular brushing recommended
Energy Level? Medium–High (she’s still young!)
Chanel’s scruffy wire coat and bright personality make her especially charming for wire-haired dog lovers. She may be a little shy at first when meeting new people, but give her just a few minutes and her confident, outgoing spirit shines through.
She is vibrant, intelligent, naturally alert, and eager to learn. From her pack, Chanel has always been the most independent and secure, confidently engaging with other dogs and enjoying playtime.
She forms strong bonds with her people and will be a devoted companion. She’s attentive to her surroundings and will let you know with a bark if something catches her attention.
Training & Adaptability
Leash-trained? Yes
Good in the car? Yes
Potty-trained? She will adjust well to a new home with consistent routines and follow-up habits.
Crate-trained? Yes (primarily for travel)
When alone: Chanel has always lived with siblings or other dogs, either in foster care or boarding. She has not regularly been left completely alone but will separate herself when she wants quiet time.
If she transitions into a home as an only dog, it’s recommended she not be left alone for extended periods initially. A 4–6 hour window is ideal while she adjusts and builds confidence in a new environment.
Sleeping arrangements: She currently sleeps in a kennel area alongside her two siblings.
Activity & Lifestyle
Chanel is agile, athletic, and has excellent stamina. She would thrive in a home that enjoys outdoor activities such as walks, hikes, and interactive play. Because she is clever and energetic, she will need a secure yard and consistent mental stimulation to prevent boredom.
She loves staying engaged and learning new things — an active household will suit her perfectly.
Ideal Home
Chanel will flourish in a home that offers:
• Daily companionship and interaction
• An active lifestyle
• Mental stimulation and playtime
• A secure environment
• Possibly another playful dog companion
She would also do well as a second dog, as she enjoys canine companionship. However, she can bond deeply with her humans and thrive as a solo dog with proper structure and activity.
Chanel is loyal, social, and loving — ready to build a lifelong bond with her family.
Rescue Story
Chanel’s story is one of patience, kindness, and perfect timing.
At just two months old, Chanel and her two siblings were abandoned in a crate inside a residential complex in Guadalajara, Mexico in early 2025. Confused and vulnerable, the tiny puppies huddled together for comfort.
A security guard noticed them and alerted a neighbor known for her love of dogs. Without hesitation, she stepped in and became their guardian angel, bringing them to safety and committing to their care.
Rather than rushing them into adoption simply because they were cute puppies, they were given time to grow, heal, and properly develop. This thoughtful approach ensured they would find lasting homes — not impulse adoptions.
Today, Chanel is ready for her forever chapter — a home where her journey of resilience, love, and hope continues.
Location: Mexico (waiting for a committed trial home)
Adoption Fee: $600
