Canelo

My story

Meet Canelo (a.k.a. Cannoli)!8-Month-Old Doberman Mix | ~35 lbsCanelo is the perfect blend of playful energy and snuggly charm. This handsome Doberman mix is around 8 months old and still growing into his long legs and big heart. With a sleek coat and expressive eyes, Cannoli turns heads wherever he goes—but it's his sweet, easygoing nature that truly wins people over.Canelo is crate trained and house trained, though he may need a few gentle reminders as he settles into a new space. He’s got great leash manners (no pulling!), but he does tend to tangle himself up out of pure excitement—he’s still a puppy, after all!He thrives on exercise and playtime—especially if it includes romping in a park or chasing around a canine buddy. He’d love a home with another playful dog and would do great with an active person or family who can provide him with daily walks (or even runs!). While he’s got medium energy outside, indoors he’s a total cuddle bug who can nap and relax like a pro.Canelo is good with dogs, and while he hasn’t been fully tested with cats or kids, he tends to ignore cats and seems to have a calm demeanor that could adapt well. He can be crated during a typical workday and prefers his crate near his humans—he’ll whine a bit if he feels too far away, but it's just his way of saying he loves being close.His quirks? He’s a bit of a counter surfer and will pace in his crate if he hears activity, but he’s also very food-motivated, which makes training a breeze. He has a quiet bark and stays close when off-leash—proof of his gentle and loyal nature.Ideal Home:Canelo would thrive with a dog sibling to play with and a yard to explore, but he could do well in an apartment with enough exercise and stimulation. His ideal family is active, loving, and ready to enjoy the best of both worlds—playful adventures and cozy cuddles.Ready to meet your new best friend?
