ABOUT CANTON
Meet Canton, a super sweet boy who’s full of enthusiasm and affection! Canton came to HAP from a high-intake shelter in Louisiana when they no longer had space for him. This jumpy, playful guy is still working on his manners and would benefit from continued training to help him channel all that excitement. Canton loves food and toys, making him super motivated to learn! He’s been improving on leash with consistent walks, though he’ll need continued practice. Canton is super affectionate at heart and enjoys pets, cuddles, and quality time with his people. While we know he means well, due to his size and energy, Canton would do best with humans large enough to keep up with him, while teaching him calm, polite behaviors. With guidance, structure, and love, Canton has all the makings of an amazing companion!
Canton recently spent some time in a foster and here's what they had to say: "Canton is just the best! He loves going for rides in the car, digging in the sand on the beach, and of course - frolicking through the ocean waves trying to catch them! While he does enjoy being active and going out and about, he also settles really well in the home. He's never been destructive, never had any accidents, and slept through the night in the crate without any issues. He loves a good cuddle and gets this big dopey smile on his face when you hit just the spot on his belly! Canton is a fantastic dog and I can't believe he hasn't found his family yet. Anyone would be lucky to call Canton their own!"
"I had Canton today! Super energetic and sweet he loved the birds at the park and eventually warmed up for some cuddles! He did really well on a leash only pulling a little and knows how to sit! We had such a great day!" - Chloe
"I took canton out for the day and it's safe to say he loved the college. He met so many new friends and even got dressed up for saint pattys. He is 100% food driven and especially likes to attack car windows lol. He is such a sweetheart" - Anya
"It was my first DDO, and I got lucky enough to take out Canton today, and he was a delight to have, he is so sweet, and such a cuddle bug. I love how he just melts into you! He gives great hugs too. He spent his time getting in a lot of sniffs and steps. We stoped at some benches a couple times and he got lots of belly rubs, treats and back scratches, and got to stare down some geese! It was really a pleasure to experience this time with Canton today, He is a really good boy, and gave such a good first impression!" - Angel
"I had Canton (from Stanton!) out today for a walk around Nottingham Green. He loved it! He settles down for the car ride quickly, getting accustomed to my wife and me easily. I think he preferred my wife since she had the treats! He is very food motivated. No trouble on the walk. We came across other folks on our trip, some with dogs, some without, some workers with loud machinery, some kids. Nothing seemed to bother him, and he did not pull on the leash. He doesn't like to lead, but follows very well. We finished up in our house with some scratches, play, and more treats. Overall, Canton is a sweetheart who would be a very good boy for somebody." - Tom
