Description
Charming Canela has already lived quite the story for such a young pup. Originally picked up as a stray in a big southern city, she was brought to an animal shelter where it seemed she had found her happily ever after. But life had other plans — about a year and a half later, Canela was found wandering the streets once again. Thin, in need of care, and clearly having spent too long on her own, she returned to the shelter where staff helped her begin to heal. As shelter numbers rose and options ran out, Canela’s future looked uncertain. But fate stepped in just in time — thanks to the compassion of several rescue groups, volunteers, and a loving foster, Canela was saved and welcomed into the MAGSR family.
Since then, Canela has been thriving. She was initially placed with a wonderful temp foster family. They ensured she received the medical attention and love she needed, and even helped her take her first flight north to a new beginning! Knowing that Canela would benefit from continued support within a knowledgeable placement, she was placed with one of our amazing foster families. Canela is a gentle, affectionate girl who can be a little shy at first. It’s clear she hasn’t always known consistent love, but with patience and understanding, her warm, loving personality shines through. She’s learning the joys of being part of a home — things like structure, routine, and kindness have helped her blossom beautifully.
Canela will continue to thrive with a family who can offer her patience, consistency, and balanced training. Training will not only help her build confidence but will also strengthen the bond she’ll share with her forever family. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and resilient companion who’s ready to start her next adventure with you, Canela might just be your perfect match.canela_
