When Canelo first arrived at the Carson Animal Shelter in Los Angeles, he was all tail wags and charm—especially with the guys. But as the weeks dragged on and no one came, this sweet, social Shar-Pei mix began to shut down. Thankfully, Concerned Citizens Animal Rescue saw his video just in time and pulled him from the euthanasia list. Now, Canelo’s living in a foster home and showing just how much love he still has to give.
Why Canelo’s the Total Package
🐶 4–5 years old, 58 lbs
🏠 Housebroken & crate-trained
🧸 Loves carrying toys around and sleeping with them tucked under his chin
🐕 Good with other dogs, loves men, women & kids
🚶♂️ Enjoys walks and handles leash time like a pro
💤 Calm, cuddly, and content to snooze by your side
What He’s Looking For
✔️ A stable home with clear boundaries and gentle structure
✔️ A family or person who wants a loyal sidekick—not too young, not too old
✔️ No cats or gophers (he plays rough!)
✔️ Someone who appreciates a mellow guy with a big heart and expressive ears
Canelo is already neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He’s the kind of dog who just wants to be part of your world—and maybe bring a few toys along for the ride.
