Caney is a onceinalifetime blend of sweetness, silliness, and “did she just do a somersault in my lap” energy.<br/>She came to rescue when her first family had to move across the country and couldn't give her the outdoor life she thrives on.

It's impossible not to laugh.<br/>Outside, she transforms into a fulltime critter patrol officer.<br/>Squirrels? Beware.<br/>Chipmunks? Consider relocating.<br/>Holes? She digs them with artistic flair.<br/>She runs laps, scans the perimeter, and takes her job very seriously. She needs a fenced yard because her enthusiasm for wildlife is... enthusiastic.<br/><br/> Social Skills: Polite, Gentle, and Occasionally Clumsy<br/>Caney lives with four other setters and a Tibetan spaniel mix, plus a rotating cast of boarding dogs. She gets along beautifully with everyone — polite, respectful, and easygoing.<br/>She doesn't really play with other dogs, but she coexists like a seasoned diplomat.<br/>Her only social faux pas?<br/>Sometimes she rolls off the couch in her sleep and lands directly on the grumpy senior dog. She apologizes with her eyes. He forgives her. Eventually.<br/><br/> Fence Requirement: Tall, Sturdy, and ChipmunkProof<br/>Caney needs:<br/>• A secure physical fence<br/>• Preferably one she can't dig under<br/>• Supervised outdoor time (think of it as bonding — you watch Caney, Caney watches for chipmunks)<br/>She's not trying to escape; she's trying to work. Critter patrol is her calling.<br/><br/> Training & Commands<br/>Caney is smart, eager, and extremely foodmotivated.<br/>She knows:<br/>• Sit (especially when treats are involved)<br/>• In your room (crate time)<br/>Working on:<br/>• Leave it<br/>• Impulse control<br/>• Not pretending she's deaf when a squirrel is present<br/>Her recall is excellent indoors and pretty good outdoors — unless a chipmunk is involved. Then she hears nothing but destiny.<br/><br/> Crate Training<br/>She's excellent in her crate and often chooses it for beauty sleep.<br/>She should be crated when you're not home because:<br/>• She will prewash your dishes<br/>• She will countersurf<br/>• She will treasurehunt in the garbage<br/>• She will absolutely find the one snack you forgot about<br/>She's not anxious — she's just... thorough.<br/><br/> Leash Training<br/>Imagine a sled dog and a bird dog had a baby.<br/>That's Caney on a leash.<br/>At the vet or pet store? Lovely.<br/>On a neighborhood stroll? She has goals.<br/>She's working on it, but leisurely walks are not yet her strong suit.<br/><br/> Medical History<br/>Caney has Cushing's disease, diagnosed shortly before coming to rescue.<br/>She is now:<br/>• Spayed<br/>• Vaccinated<br/>• On daily medication<br/>• Stable and thriving<br/>• Getting bloodwork twice a year<br/>Cushing's makes her thirsty and very enthusiastic about food — hence her passion for countersurfing and garbage archaeology.<br/><br/> Funniest Thing She Does<br/>Somersaults.<br/>Everywhere.<br/>In your lap.<br/>On the couch.<br/>On the kitchen floor.<br/>Once in the backseat of the car while wearing a cone after her spay.<br/>They are awkward, unexpected, and absolutely hysterical.<br/><br/> Her Foster Life<br/>Caney has blossomed into a joyful, affectionate, goofy girl who brings laughter to every room. Her foster family adores her — foster dad insists five dogs is the limit, but still whispers “I love you” to her daily.<br/>She is worth every spilled water bowl, every stolen crumb, every countersurfing adventure. She is sweet, silly, loyal, and ready for a family who will adore her just as much as she adores them.<br/><br/>Current Location: East Granby, CT<br/>Volunteer transport can be arranged in the Continental US, within 1,000 miles of the dog's current location. A Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) is required for transport. There will be an additional charge of $75.00 required to offset the cost of obtaining a CVI. In most cases, our transport team will be able to arrange transport of your adopted dog to within 2 hours of your home. You may apply for a dog outside of the 1,000 mile radius, but you must be willing to make arrangements for transport, which may include flying at your expense, driving to a location within the 1,000 mile radius, or obtaining an independent transport at your expense.
