ll out an Adoption Application. If you are only interested in temporarily Fostering one of our rescues, please fill out a Foster Application. Meet Canela! Canela (cinnamon in spanish) is a sweet baja mutt rescued from the streets of Ensenad, Mexico. She was rescued in August along with her pups and nursing. Of course we needed to wait until she had done nursing and then recover herself until she could become adoptable herself. As of November her pups have been adopted and Canela has now been spayed and vetted i San Diego. We had her boarding at the vet for almost a month while finishing her vetting and trying to find a foster with no luck so she is now back with her rescuers who are also fostering her in Ensenada. While she was in San Diego we dog and cat tested her and this is what we can say about her: Canela is already full grown in her 30s pounds. She is AMAZING with ALL humans, men, woman and children alike. She adores people and very social. She is good with dogs but will definetely not hesitate to defend herself and can be a little bratty towards some dogs, especially if they try to instigate her. She met and mingled with a couple of our rescue dogs like Goliath, Gia, Truffles, Frida, Roxy and Debby. All different age and sizes. She really enjoyed played with them and we are confident she is dog friendly not just with her pups but being in the streets for a while she probably is a little scrappy competing with other dogs for resources so she needs to make sure the dogs she meets are friends and not foes. Canela looks like a shepherd but is very petite and dainty paws. She is likely a huge super mutt with terrier in her DNA pool. She is fairly active probably as she lived in the streets and roamed a while to find food. She unfortunately has a keen love to 'explore' she can flear a 4ft fence with no problem, she is AGILE and fast. She somehow got out of our back yard which has a 6ft fence and we believe she scaled it being a wood fence, only smart dogs really get away with that BUT on the side of the fence with Vinyl she could not. Hence we are looking for an adopter or foster who has the right patio/yard for her to stay safe if applicants have an outdoor area. Her best matched adopter or foster would be someone looking for a friendly social dog towards people who is looking for a dog companion as a retiree or work from home as we fear she has some anxiety and looks to be with humans. She is also crate trained although can be a little whinny at the begining. In short this girl is pretty wonderful but has a couple needs when it comes to companionship and being alone as well as a very secured fence or have no out door areas. She did not seem interested at all around cats and enjoys dogs friendship. An adopter who is going to enroll in with a profesional dog trainer is best as she is intelligent, food driven and would be excellent agility dog as much as a couch potato as long as she has humans with her. Canela is a healthy spayed dog who was vetted in san diego and READY for adoption. We encourage you to meet her and perhaps inquire about our foster to adopt trials especially for this giirl to make sure her needs ei energy and houdini acts are not going to be a problem long term for her forever family.
