Chihuahua and Rat Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Calgary, Alberta

Meet Canela!

Canela is a tiny dog with a huge personality. She's affectionate, playful, cuddly, and full of adorable sass. She loves walks, exploring, toys, sunshine, and curling up beside her humans at the end of the day. She has a great balance of playful energy and couch potato charm, happy to join you on adventures and equally happy to snuggle up afterward.

She's currently living with other dogs and has done wonderfully with them. She's social, playful, and enjoys having canine companions around. She hasn't met cats yet, but she tends to ignore squirrels and other small animals while out on walks.

One of the most special things about Canela is her bond with Nero. The two are incredibly attached, truly thrive together, and must be adopted together. They play, cuddle together, comfort each other, and keep each other company constantly. Watching them together is impossible not to love.

Canela is fully house trained, walks nicely on leash, sleeps well through the night, and rarely barks. She loves being close to her people and would do best in a home where she can continue building confidence and feeling safe. Loud noises and busy environments can make her a little nervous at times, but she's a very loving little dog who bonds deeply with her humans.
