Health Notes (Transparency Matters)
Canela has been seen by a veterinarian. She is very underweight despite eating well and having high energy. No illness has been diagnosed, but additional veterinary testing was recommended and could not be pursued due to financial hardship. She will need a home that can provide ongoing veterinary care and monitoring to help her thrive.
Ideal Home for Canela
Canela would do best in:
A stable home with the financial ability to provide food, training, and veterinary care
An adopter who understands young, energetic dogs
A home with time, patience, and commitment to training
Someone who can give her the attention and guidance she needs to grow into her best self
Reason for Rehoming
Canela’s family has lost employment and is facing the possibility of losing their home. With no reliable income and limited resources, they are making the incredibly difficult decision to rehome her out of love — knowing she deserves more than they can currently provide.
