Canelita - bonded with Elvira

Canelita is a beautiful girl with a soft heart and a gentle soul. While she can be fearful of new people at first, her transformation in her foster home has been truly amazing to watch. We have her birthday set at March 2025.<br/><br/>Once she trusts you, she has the most endearing ways of asking for affection; she’ll often come right up and stand on her foster mom’s leg for pets, or even climb up to stand on her foster mom while she’s laying down just to be close. At the end of the day, you can almost always find her curled up faithfully at your feet.<br/><br/>Because Canelita is a sensitive pup who is still learning that the world isn’t so scary, she has a few specific needs to help her thrive. She requires a securely fenced-in yard to keep her safe while she explores, and a peaceful, low-key home environment. Because of her shy nature, she needs a home with older children (ages 15 and up) who can respect her space and move at her pace. She is a very social girl with other animals and currently lives happily with two cats and other dogs.<br/><br/>Canelita finds immense comfort and confidence through her best friend, Elvira. She truly follows Elvira’s lead; if Elvira says a situation is okay, Canelita feels brave enough to try it, too. Because Canelita finds so much security in her presence, we would love for them to be adopted together. Having Elvira by her side will make Canelita’s transition into a new home much smoother and happier. If you have the patience and a quiet home to offer, Canelita is ready to reward you with a lifetime of quiet devotion.<br/><br/>- Canelita's and Elvira's adoption fee is $550 + Minnesota sales tax for the pair<br/>- You must fill out an adoption application before you are allowed to meet the animal. Please complete the adoption application located on our website: https://smalldogsminnesota.org/adoption-application/<br/>- Small Dog Rescue of MN does not negotiate the adoption fee on our dogs and we must charge sales tax on all adoption fees in order to comply with Minnesota state law. Please note that SDR is philosophically opposed to the idea of buying and selling animals, and we support any future legislation that would remove sales tax from adoption fees. Until then, however, it must be charged.<br/>- Please note that we do not have a shelter, and all dogs are in foster homes. Since we strive to provide the best possible care for our animals, sometimes we cannot answer emails promptly. Please allow 48 hours for us to respond to you.<br/>- You must be 18 years of age to make an adoption request.<br/>- A healthy pet is a happy pet!
