My story

Meet Canela – The Sweetest Little Spoonful of Love Canela is a 7-year-old Chiweenie with a heart of gold and a soft, Nutella-colored coat to match. Originally adopted from us during the COVID era, she was sadly returned five years later. While no excuse is ever good enough, we’re focused on her bright future—and so is she. Now thriving in foster care, Canela is easy-going, affectionate, and ready to love again. She just got a clean bill of health from the vet (with a gentle suggestion to lose a pound or two) and is already making friends wherever she goes. We suspect she spent too much time crated in her previous home, but you’d never know it—she’s made huge strides in foster and is house trained, great in the car, enjoys walks, and adores cuddling and spooning up with her humans. She especially loves playing with other small dogs, and would be thrilled to have a canine buddy in her next home. At just 12 pounds, Canela is portable, precious, and truly the perfect companion for someone looking for a low-maintenance, high-love kind of pup. She may be technically “middle-aged,” but she’s got plenty of pep and a lifetime of cuddles to give. Looking for a loyal, snuggly best friend who will never let you feel alone on the couch again? Canela’s your girl. First Step Is To Apply Now [Apply Now](http://form.jotform.com/underdogca/dog-adoption-application) For application updates, forwarding requests, or any questions, contact us at adopt@underdogca.com. This is also the best way to submit additional documents or information. We do keep applications on file for 90days in case the dog you apply for it already adopted or not the right fit simply email us to forward your application on to another dog of interest. Our dogs are in foster homes all over the Bay Area and all adopters are required to travel to the foster home to meet. We do not have a facility. No meet and greet can happen until application is completed. Our Commitment to Our Dogs Every dog in our care receives comprehensive veterinary care, including: • Spay/Neuter surgery • Microchipping • DHPP vaccination • Flea treatment and deworming • Rabies vaccination • Any additional vet care as needed The adoption fee for this dog is $300 serving as a non-refundable donation to help cover vetting, transport, and care costs. Adoption fees may vary based on specific dog and needs.
