Canela Mixed Breed Fredericksburg, VA

Canela

Hi! My name is Canela. I am 2-3 years old, 67 pounds, and PERFECT for a pet-free home! I will be the BEST dog you could ever have. House manners? Check!
Walking? Check!
Snuggles? Check!

I check so many boxes and I don’t know why anyone hasn’t snatched me up yet!

I prefer to live in a home with only adults or older children (10+). I am usually very chill and love to snuggle, however that doesn’t mean I don’t play. You should see me with zoomies! I love it when my family comes home so I can show off my wiggle butt! I have been told it is one of my strongest features!

I really am SO EASY (My foster family says so!) Even though I can’t be loose around dogs, I am able to go on walks and outings (with consideration). I just need an environment where I can keep my space, and I will be happy as could be. I am also perfectly happy at home practicing being an introvert, and don’t need to be out and about in order to be happy.

Because I am a dog who needs a family with special accommodations (no pets and a family comfortable having a people-only dog), talk to ODHS about the foster-to-adopt program, where you can invite me to a 7-day sleepover to make sure I am the perfect fit for your family.
Fill out an application to come meet me and my foster family. They will tell you everything you need to know to make sure I am the right fit.

What breed am I? Mixed mutt! ODHS does not breed label (unless there’s official paperwork), as studies show it is nearly impossible to tell the exact breed of each dog based off of their appearance.
