Hey, friend! Canelo here.
I've mastered the art of the perfect nap, though I'll admit mornings are for zooming—then it's back to my favorite pastime: dreaming on the softest spot I can find.
They wrote that I love to play. Understatement. I'd hike, fetch, and nap with you, in that order.
I'm still young and full of beans, with a whole lot of love (and the occasional zoomie) saved up for the right person.
Born and (almost) raised right here in Seattle.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
If all goes well, I could be curled up with my new pack by Labor Day — maybe yours, whether you adopt me or just help me get noticed.
Either way, thank you for seeing me today. That part mattered more than you know. — Canelo

About Canelo
Animal Information: Canelo is a 7lb, 6-month-old Chihuahua mix who came to Animal Control after being surrendered from a home with too many dogs. He ended up at the Stanislaus Animal Shelter and was at risk due to space. One look at that squishy little face and we knew we had to get him out of there! We're excited to welcome this sweet little guy to the PNW and help him find the family he deserves. We can't wait to meet him! Foster Profile: You can't help but smile when you look at this little guy! He has great character and supplies endless entertainment! Like most young dogs, Canelo can be very "busy". He is great at self-entertaining whether chewing on a bone, shaking a stuffy, or attempting to get the resident golden retriever to play! Mornings tend to be his most active and making sure the house is puppy proofed (no accessible shoes or socks) has kept him focused on appropriate activities and toys. Canelo does great in his crate (he sleeps quietly throughout the night) and has been nearly perfect in terms of house training. Impressive for a 6 month old puppy! It is clear Canelo has not had much leash or life experience. Consistent walks will help him improve quickly. Currently, he is unsure how to react when approaching other walkers and dogs. We will definitely be working on exposure and proper leash behavior while in foster care. Canelo comes well when called but is definitely challenged by his enthusiasm for…well, everything! Trying to keep all 4 feet on the ground is tough! He loves to jump and I am continually amazed at his agility! We are working to curb this behavior along with puppy nipping however due to these 2 habits, I would caution applicants with small children/toddlers in the home. All in all, Canelo is a great puppy and will be a wonderful companion for years to come. He -loves lounging in the yard, enjoying the sunshine and the occasional romp in the grass! Canelo came from a home with other dogs and has done great with my resident golden. A home with another doggy sibling is preferred.
