Meet Canelo Name: Canelo Age: 4 years old Breed: Sharpei Mix Weight: 58 lbs Location: Los Angeles Bio: Hey there, I'm Canelo! I may have had a rough start, but I'm ready to turn my luck around and find my forever family. I was at the Carson High Kill Shelter in Los Angeles, where I initially showed my happy-go-lucky personality. I quickly made friends with the male volunteers (love men women children and other dogs too) but really like hanging with the fellas! I loved running around and playing in the play yard with calm dogs my size. However, as time passed and no one showed interest in adopting me, I started to feel depressed and confused. Thankfully, Concerned Citizens Animal Rescue saw my shelter video and decided to save me from euthanasia. Since being in foster care, I've shown that I enjoy being groomed, having my ears cleaned, and sleeping with all my toys under my chin. I've also been told that my ears tell a story of their own. I'm fine being alone for a few hours and love going for walks. I get along with most, including the skunk I met on an evening stroll! And I love my crate! I'm not fond of gophers or cats. Well- I just like to play rough with them but they don't like that. I'm not a puppy so I won't eat your baseboards and I'm not a senior so I won't sleep all day. I'm a middle-aged guy with a heart full of love to give to a family or person who wants to be unconditionally loved!!! Canelo is a super easy dog. He loves walks and snuggling. Canelo does best and feels most secure with someone that will give clear boundaries and be consistent - he is super eager to please. He is still working on being neutral around small animals so no adopters with small dogs, cats, etc. I'm looking for a forever family who will give me the love and care I deserve. If you're interested in adopting me, please contact Concerned Citizens Animal Rescue at info@concernedcitizensanimalrescue.org or 213 797.0364 I'm microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. Let's make some memories together – I can't wait to meet you! Neutered UTD on Vax Microchipped

Piglet is Carolina mix dog. She is about 3 yrs old, weighs about 30 lbs. She is vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is friendly with people and other dogs. She is a very sweet dog.
