Profile Name: Canelo | Joyful Companion | 1.5 Years Old | Pro Cuddler
About Me: Hey there! I’m Canelo — a happy-go-lucky guy with a heart full of love and eyes that might just steal yours. Life is better when it's simple, and I’m all about the little things: long walks, chasing tennis balls, and snuggling up for cozy cuddle breaks. I’m social, easygoing, and always ready to make new friends — humans and dogs alike!
My Perfect Day:
Morning walk to sniff all the good spots
Playtime with my favorite stuffed toys
Midday cuddle session (a must!)
Evening training practice — I know “sit,” “down,” and “off,” and I’m eager to learn more (especially if snacks are involved)
A Little Extra Info: I do have chronic bronchitis, so I sometimes need medicine to sleep and antibiotics during flare-ups. But trust me, it doesn’t dim my sparkle — I’m still full of life, love, and tail wags!
Looking For: A kind-hearted, patient partner (or family) who will embrace my health quirks and celebrate my zest for life. Bonus points if you love leisurely walks, spontaneous playtime, and have a soft spot for dogs who love extra TLC.
Let’s Make It Official: If you’re ready for unconditional love, endless joy, and a loyal sidekick, let’s meet. I promise to bring smiles, snuggles, and a whole lot of heart to your life!
Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure each pet finds the best possible home, we ask that you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application received in the order they're submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails). If your home sounds like a good match for you and the pet, we will connect you with our dogs' foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a "meet and greet" is set up. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to finalize the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.
The adoption fee for this pet is $425. Our adoption fee covers the following:
Spay/neuter
Microchip
DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all DAPP boosters after adoption.
Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for any rabies vaccinations after adoption.
Please email dogs@arrcolorado.org for more information, as we can't accept calls at this time.
PLEASE NOTE: The breed listed is the information we've received from the shelter. Shelters usually guess at the breed, so there is no guarantee, as we don't DNA test our foster pets. Here is some interesting info on breed identification: https://arrcolorado.org/category/puppy-dog-tips/
Our adoption process is:
1. Fill out our Adoption Application online. We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer any questions you may have about the pet.
2. If the pet looks like a great match, we'll schedule a meet and greet and ask you to fill out our online Adoption Agreement if you'd like to proceed with adopting. Once you've completed the Adoption Agreement and pay the pet's Adoption Fee, you can arrange to pick up your new furry family member!
