My Name Is CANELO!
?Canelo is a handsome young boy looking for a patient companion to help him navigate the world at his own pace. While he can be a bit shy initially, his enthusiastic spirit shines through once he feels comfortable.
?Well-Mannered: Canelo is very focused on his routine and makes it his first priority to go potty when he gets outside.
?Shy but Sweet: He is a naturally nervous boy who thrives with a slow, gentle approach. He takes a little time to warm up to new people, but the wait is well worth it.
?Social Style: He is generally non-reactive to other dogs he passes, though he may become more alert around dogs with very high energy levels.
?Enthusiastic Walker: Canelo walks well on a leash, though he likes to lead the way with great enthusiasm as if he is excited to show you the world.
?Active Partner: He will thrive in a home that can provide him with regular exercise and consistent training to help build his confidence.
?Canelo is in search of a quiet forever home where he can feel safe and secure. He needs a family that understands the importance of decompression and is willing to give him the time and patience he needs to bloom at his own speed. If you have a peaceful environment and a heart for helping a sensitive dog find his footing, Canelo is ready to meet you.
My Special Considerations
Canelo is not adapting well to being in a kennel at the shelter and is displaying signs of kennel distress and anxiety. He can be nervous of new people and new dogs. When meeting strangers, he cowers and avoids. He warms up with patience and time and allows all handling. Canelo is starting to show anxious behaivors in his kennel like panting, pacing, whining, and jmuping. This animal would benefit from a calmer environment and training to be able to cope with changing environments and separation.
He shows defensive behaviors with other dogs at playgroup. This dog shows dog-selective behaviors, they get along well with some dogs, but not all. They may have preferences about which dogs they’re comfortable around and can sometimes struggle to be socially appropriate with certain others. With ongoing training, supervision, and proper introductions, their interactions with other dogs can continue to improve. We recommend slow, structured introductions to new dogs to ensure positive experiences.
