Canela

Canela (her name means cinnamon) is a sweet Mexi Minipit mix weighing about 16 kg. She is a special adoption who needs a patient, loving family willing to understand her journey.<br/><br/>When Canela first arrived, she was deeply afraid of people due to mistreatment in her past. For weeks she would retreat to the corner of her kennel whenever someone entered. Over the next eight months, she slowly decompressed, learned she was safe, and began to trust again.<br/><br/>Today, Canela is blossoming. She walks well on leash, is potty trained, and is steadily improving when meeting new people and dogs. She has a quirky habit of lounging on the roof of her doghouse—just like Snoopy—which always makes us smile.<br/><br/>Because of her history, Canela is listed as Special Needs. She will thrive with a gentle adopter who can give her time, patience, and security. In return, she will offer loyalty, sweetness, and the joy of watching her continue to heal.<br/><br/>✨ Canela deserves a kind person who will welcome her into the family and show her the love she has always deserved.<br/><br/>Canela is with a small local shelter in Bucerias, Mexico. They aren't on Petfinder so we list a few dogs for them in hopes they find their forever home.

If your application is approved and you are not located in Mexico, we will collaborate with flight companions (flight angels) flying from Puerto Vallarta to destinations close to where the dog is posted as available.
