Canelo's Story

Breed: Chihuahua X<br/>DOB: 6/2020<br/>Gender: male<br/>Altered: yes<br/>Coat: medium<br/>Size: small<br/>Color(s): red brown/white w/some black fur<br/>Description:<br/><br/>***Needs a Foster Home***<br/>This dog is in need of a foster home as well as a permanent home. If you are interested in fostering please fill out an online application.<br/><br/>Hi, I'm Canelo, a Chihuahua X who is in need of a new home as only one dog was allowed at the new home. I guess I drew the short straw. Thank you to my sponsor who made it possible for me to come into CARL's adoption program. I know they will help me find my forever home.<br/><br/>I need time to get to know new people, until I do I can act like a tough guy. Once I know you I enjoy my walks and being with my people.<br/><br/>I love treats, but small treats should be given from an open palm rather than from fingers. If I think I have found a treat and you try to take it away with your fingers I will bite hard. I have no issues when being given kibble, but treats are another story. However my former foster thinks with training I can improve in this area.<br/><br/>I love to snuggle and get belly rubs, but at night I should sleep on my own doggie bed rather than with my human. A doggie bed in your bedroom is perfect. I love to burrow under a soft blanket when I sleep and a soft fluffy throw blanket works great.<br/><br/>I love to play with and chase little stuffed toys and might even chase after a small ball.<br/><br/>I want to always be near my person. I would snooze on my doggie bed and play with stuffed toys while my former foster worked from home. I also enjoyed going outside to lay in the warm sun for a bit.<br/><br/>I am potty trained, but need to be reminded/encouraged to go outside. I respond to 'go potty'.<br/><br/>The best household for me is with a female human and no other dogs. Although I do great at the dog park and I'm fine on walks, I want my person all to myself when at home. I might be fine with a couple if both are willing to consistently be involved in my feedings, walks and playtime.<br/><br/>I would not be good with children because I will bite if I feel threatened or there is any competition for my human and the same is true for strangers. I don't care for a lot of commotion. My former foster's son had a party for friends and I was clearly unhappy.<br/><br/>In the right environment (where I am top dog), I am very loving, sweet, playful, and snuggly. I love to walk and I do great on a leash. I am loyal and protective. I also enjoy car rides and going to the doggie park. I am crate trained but I will not like the crate if it is used for punishment or time outs. If I'm crated, be sure to include a small soft blanket for snuggling and burrowing.<br/><br/>I did not bark excessively while in my former foster's home and my bark was not loud and ear piercing typical of smaller dogs.<br/><br/>If you think you can provide the right environment for me to thrive in, please submit an online application to meet me.<br/><br/>*Thank you to Sharon for sponsoring this wonderful dog at the Burnice Kraemer Sanctuary and giving him the chance for a better life.
