Canela

Looking for the Perfect Forever Home - Meet Canela <br/><br/>Canela is a beautiful 6-year-old German Shepherd. She came into rescue after her owner's work situation changed, leaving her spending long hours alone outside. Because she loves people so much and wanted attention, she began jumping the 4-foot fence in search of new friends. A kind neighbor kept her safe until her owner made the difficult decision to surrender her so she could find a home where she'd get the time, love, and companionship she deserves.<br/><br/>Here is what her foster writes about Canela:<br/><br/>"Over the time we've fostered Canela, we've fallen in love with what an amazing dog she truly is. She is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and happiest when she's with her people. She loves to cuddle, sleeps in bed with us, and proudly carries around her stuffed animals like they're treasures. Canela is smart and eager to learn. She rides great in the truck, walks well on a leash, and enjoys running in a fenced yard. She can comfortably stay in her own room for 8+ hours if needed, although a home where someone works from home would be a wonderful bonus. She has interacted well with neighborhood kids and can do well with other dogs when given slow, proper introductions. She is not cat-friendly and has a high prey drive, so she'll need a cat-free home. She can be food aggressive, so she should always be fed separately."<br/><br/>Canela is spayed and up to date in vaccines. Canela has pannus, a chronic eye condition common in German Shepherds, that is easily managed with a simple daily eye ointment. She is very compliant to get that done!<br/><br/>Canela would thrive in a home that offers:<br/><br/> An active lifestyle with daily exercise and mental stimulation<br/><br/> Structure, consistency, and continued training<br/><br/> A fenced yard to safely burn off energy while continuing to work on recall and leash skills<br/><br/> Someone with German Shepherd or other working breed experience<br/><br/> Lots of love and time with her people<br/><br/>In return, you'll have one of the most loyal, loving, and devoted companions you could ask for.<br/><br/>We know the perfect family is out there for this sweet girl. Apply to meet Canela at ricopetrecovery.org. The adoption fee for Canela is $200.
