She's a young adult with a wonderful combination of companionship, curiosity, and energy, and she's ready for a family who will make her a true part of their everyday life. Black Mouth Curs are often known for being intelligent, loyal, athletic, confident, and devoted to their families, while Terriers may bring curiosity, playfulness, and plenty of personality. As a mix, Canela may share some of these traits and will benefit from a home that keeps both her body and mind engaged. At three years old, Canela is past the tiny puppy stage but is still a young dog with plenty of enthusiasm for walks, playtime, adventures, and learning new things. She would benefit from daily exercise, mental enrichment, positive-reinforcement training, and plenty of quality time with her people. Most of all, Canela is looking for the stability and love of a permanent home where she can build a lasting bond with her family. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Moving into a new home is a major transition for any rescue dog, and Canela should be given time to understand her new environment and routine. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so adopters should be prepared to continue working on house manners as needed, leash skills, basic commands, recall, calm greetings, and household boundaries. Black Mouth Cur and Terrier mixes can be intelligent and engaged learners. Positive reinforcement, consistency, structure, and patience will help Canela understand what is expected of her while strengthening the bond she develops with her new family. The 3-3-3 Rule 3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe 3 Weeks to understand her new household routine 3 Months to fully settle in, build trust, and feel at home These are guidelines rather than deadlines. Every dog adjusts differently, and Canela should be allowed to settle in at her own pace. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Canela is healthy, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations. She is not currently spayed. Her adopter should discuss spaying and appropriate timing with a veterinarian and review her available medical records to determine whether any additional preventive care is needed. Her ongoing care should include routine veterinary examinations, recommended vaccine boosters, flea and parasite prevention, dental care, quality nutrition, healthy weight management, grooming, nail care, appropriate exercise, and veterinary treatment whenever necessary.
