My story

Say hello to Candy Cane! Yes, we know it’s not the holiday season, but the name stuck because this guy really is just that sweet. Candy Cane is about 5 years old and weighs around 23 pounds. He came to us after his owner moved, and the transition didn’t go well for him, he’s a sensitive little guy who takes change hard.His previous home mentioned he wasn’t great with young kids under 5. We weren’t given much detail on what that meant, but since he’s been with us, he’s been nothing but calm, gentle, and easy to be around. Still, we think he’d do best in a quieter home with older kids who understand dogs like him like mellow, peaceful environments, not chaos.Candy Cane lived with a cat previously and did great with it, and he gets along really well with other dogs too. He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but he warms up quickly and really enjoys attention once he feels safe. He’s easy to walk, takes his time, and loves exploring his surroundings at his own pace.What makes Candy Cane special is how steady and loving he is once he opens up. He wants to be close to his people, whether that means curling up at your feet or quietly following you around the house. He’s not needy, just loyal. If you’re looking for a laid-back dog who’s already past the puppy stage and just wants a peaceful life, Candy Cane might be exactly who you’ve been waiting for! Interested in this special dude? Please inquire today!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Candy Cane, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
