Canelo

My story

Distinguished Gentleman. Loyal Companion. Total Softie. Available for Foster or Adoption in Illinois Canelo is a 6-year-old, 61 lb sweetheart who defines what it means to be a true gentleman. When his former family tried to abandon him and his sister in the streets after the shelter turned them away for being full, a rescue stepped in—giving him the second chance he so deeply deserves. About Canelo: Male, 6 years old 70 lbs of shepherd/mix loyalty Vaccinated (not neutered yet) Dog friendly (cats unknown) Great with kids and people Medium energy—calm with playful bursts Located in Illinois Leash trained, knows his commands Canelo may be a bit older, but don’t let his age fool you—he’s still got pep in his step, especially when kids are around to keep him on his toes! He grew up around children and would thrive in a home filled with love, laughter, and play. This gentle guy walks beautifully on leash, listens well (especially if treats are involved!), and enjoys a good stroll just as much as he enjoys curling up beside you.
