• “Canela is a young dog who is always ready to play. It might take her a bit to get use to the other dog but once she knows them she loves to chase them around.“

  — Guadalupe C.

• “Sleep and eating are my favorite activities. I do enjoy going wherever my sister and mom go… some might say I have fomo. Although some say I’m a big lady, I’m fearful of a lot of things. I do enjoy walks, going on walks and anything my sister likes ( I just get tired quickly).“

  — Josselyn G.

• “My name is Canela but my family calls me Canelita or Canelitis. I am 5 months old and I’m an adorable mix! My dr says I’m 89% dachshund and 11% Shih Tzu! I had blue eyes but once I turned 14 weeks, they turned to green! I love wrestling my big siblings, I may be 7lbs but I can take them on!“

  — Brenda S.

• “My name means cinnamon in Spanish. My family sometimes calls me “Ed” like the hyena in the movie “Lion King” because I can be very spastic! I am very high energy, I love chasing a ball and stealing it from my sister! I seem to freak out every time I meet someone new. I will bark obnoxiously when I see a stranger until I get to know you. I injured my left rear knee when I was six months old and had surgery on it when I was nine months old, I seem to be doing way better now, plus my mommy gives me supplements to help my joints so I can keep on playing. I am a little cry baby too, I sometimes need to be picked up and carried.“

  — Deanna B.

• “Canela is very outgoing!! She loves all people and will jump all over you till you give her pets. She has a luxating patella in both of her knees, which means that sometimes her knees come out of place then go back in. She still can be a little firecracker running 1000 mph!!“

  — Sydney H.

• “Hi my name is Canela which means Cinnamon in Spanish. I only understand Spanish. I don’t really like other dogs other than my little big brother Snoop. I just like to mind my business and the sun. I’m very tiny but fierce. I prefer to just play with my brother Snoop.“

  — America A.

• “Canela is a very shy girl! She loves to play with other dogs but sometimes can become overstimulated which can trigger stress seizures! We’re looking for fun quiet areas for her to run around where we can monitor her exercise level and not have her stress about constantly keeping her attention on high. She has never been unkind to another dog or a person, sometimes she corrects a dog for invading her space for too long! Prefers not to be touched by strangers“

  — Hannah H.

• “I love frisbee and my people. I love the good sniffs and shade. I don’t really like much else. I try really hard to be more friendly but I’m too afraid if anyone new and things that crowd my space.“

  — Nikki G.

• “Hi my name is canela! My pawrents adopted me in June 2023 when I was 2 years old :) I’m a bit dog reactive but thankfully my parents sent me to training and I have a little more impulse control ☺️ I love running around and chasing my little sister“

  — Arlette L.

• “I'm an Australian Kelpie from a shelter is Los Lunas! I love to sniff, herd balls and run fast.“

  — Kasie D.

• “She lives up to the australian shepherd energy and strives to please humans. can be very timid with strangers and tries to hide but once she gets comfortable you’ll be her best friend!“

  — maría g.

• “Hi!!!!! I’m a 2 year old pitbully mix! I love car rides and hiking everywhere. I love being outside and picking out toys from the store!!!! I LOVE BULLY STICKS! I loveee being around everyone and getting pets and love and and and hugs!! I love swimming and playing in water! Beaches! Lakes!! Pools!!! Puddles everything water!!“

  — Alma S.

• “Hi I am Canela! I am a pug mixed with chihuahua, I am a very hyper diva that WILL run around you in circles so try to catch me!! I can be a little awkward with humans but I LOVE them. Or maybe just the attention I get is what I love. I am not a big fan of dogs that are hyper as I am only hyper around humans. I am kind of an introvert when it comes to my species though… I love to act like a monkey so jumping is my best skill!!!!“

  — Iyen A.

• “Hi, I’m Canela! Part angel, full-time heart thief. I will do anything for treats and I love acting like every walk is a life-changing adventure. My hobbies include supervising everything, finding the comfiest spot in the house, and making sure my human never goes anywhere alone. I’m sweet with a little spice, which is fitting because my name means cinnamon. I can be classy one moment and absolutely go crazy for my ball the next. I believe treats should be unlimited, naps should be mandatory, and though I would love to have more doggie and human friends, I had a difficult past and I'm still learning other dogs and humans are friends. Loyal, adorable, slightly nosy, and impossible to ignore...I’m Canela, and this world is basically my living room.“

  — Julia D.

• “Very people friendly. Some dogs make me nervous because I was chased down by a pack of dogs“

  — Brenda B.
