Canela

Canela is a courtey post.

Our sweet Canela is in need of being rehomed. Her family absolutely loves her (which is no surprise because everyone who meets her falls in love) she is a very friendly loving and energetic sweetheart. She is 20 lbs of pure cuteness and so many people fell in love with her and her amazing rescue story.

But canela is having a hard time finding her place in her pack. She is currently living in a wonderful home with 4 other dogs. She gets along with most of them but has a hard time with one of the other dogs.

I was talking to her sweet mama and while she is absolutely in love with Canela, we agreed that Canela would do best in a home with perhaps only one other dog. She needs to have activities to keep her busy. Because she has a lot of energy. She absolutely loves playing with her brother Zeke. She is a huge cuddler. Canela seems to get along best with bigger male dogs.

She is food motivated, smart and a fast learner. Canela loves to run and hike and spend time with her Human.

We all want to see Canela joyful and thriving. If you are interested in adopting the most special girl please send me a DM at @sho.shelter or sho.shelter.dr@gmail.com

Bowie

Meet Bowie!!

He is a 40 pound pittie mix and approximately 11 months old. Came up from the south, he is neutered and UTD on his vaccines. His foster mom says he does well in his crate, is housebroken and learning his manners. He knows to go to his "place" (dog bed) outside of his crate and loves to snuggle on the couch. He walks well on a leash and enjoys his walks, especially one in the morning. That gets his day going perfectly! He loves car rides! Bowie loves to hang by your side watching tv as well as a good belly rub and his soft spot is under his chin! Bowie also knows how to swim! but would rather just hang poolside. He LOVES to be outside and watch the birds fly by or hang out and watch you change the oil in your car. A fenced yard is a must! He takes treats gently and loves toys and a good bully stick. He still has puppy in him but is learning the ropes with consistency and praise. He even sleeps right through fireworks, vacuum cleaners and hair dryers! He also loves a good scrub in the bathtub!! Bowie would do best in a quiet home that is consistent with routine. He likes all adults and kids, but older kids over 10 would be best because of his bouts of silliness! Not sure about cats and seems to like other dogs that he has met with a happy tail wag! BLACK DOGS ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED IN SHELTERS/RESCUES. Don't overlook Bowie! He will make a wonderful and loyal companion! Apply to adopt him today!
