Canela

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

A super affable and sugary sweet girl is on the hunt for a home, and when she meets Canela, it's completely unclear why she still has to wait for this home… The strikingly beautiful female dog arrived in the care of our Spanish partners in 2022. Her owner, an older man, dropped her off there, explaining that he couldn't be fair to her and that she was overpowered by her energy. Now, at the animal shelter, no one can recognize an excessive energy level in Canela—the approximately three-year-old (as of September 2023) lady is neither particularly hyper or hectic, nor does she demand much action. Canela is a completely normal, young dog who enjoys any attention and play and is easily motivated, but she also comes to rest very well and spends her hot summer days as lazily in the shade as her roommates. Of course, she likes to play with her four-legged friends and, at times, she can be a bit bossy towards the male dogs, so she sometimes has to be put in her place. With people, Canela is a true dream dog—she loves to snuggle and tries very hard to do everything right! Especially when it's her turn to go for a walk, she can hardly contain her excitement and shows, after a few exuberant hops, how nicely she can walk on the leash. We wish for the pretty girl with the hinged ears active, lively people who are looking forward to taking exciting excursions and long walks with their new best friend, perhaps to attend dog training classes, and to snuggle on the couch for hours in the evening and to go over the day's experiences together. So, heartbroken yet? Canela is already looking forward to your post!

Eine oberknuffige Zuckerschnute ist auf der Suche nach einem Zuhause und wenn an Canela kennenlernt, ist völlig schleierhaft, warum sie auf ebendieses Zuhause immernoch warten muss… Die bildhübsche Hündin gelangte bereits 2022 in die Obhut unserer spanischen Partner. Ihr Besitzer, ein älterer Mann, gab sie dort ab, mit der Begründung, ihr nicht gerecht zu werden und mit ihrem Bewegungsdrang überfordert zu sein. Nun, hier im Tierheim kann niemand einen übermäßigen Bewegungsdrang bei Canela erkennen- die ca. drei Jahre alte (Stand September 2023) Dame ist weder besonders aufgedreht oder hektisch, noch fordert sie besonders viel Action ein. Canela ist völlig normaler, junger Hund, der jegliche Aufmerksamkeit und Spiele genießt und sich gerne motivieren lässt, sie kommt jedoch auch sehr gut zur Ruhe und verbringt die heißen Sommertage genauso träge im Schatten wie ihre Mitbewohner. Natürlich spielt sie gerne mit ihren vierbeinigen Kameraden, wird dabei besonders Rüden gegenüber auch gerne mal ein bisschen herrisch, sodass sie ab und an in ihre Schranken gewiesen werden muss. Mit Menschen ist Canela ein echter Traumhund- sie kuschelt für ihr Leben gern und strengt sich sehr an, alles richtig zu machen! Besonders, wenn die Reihe an ihr ist, zu einem Spaziergang aufzubrechen, kann sie vor Frede kaum an sich halten und zeigt, nach ein paar ausgelassenen Hüpfern, wie schön sie an der Leine laufen kann. Wir wünschen uns für das hübsche Mädchen mit den Klappohren aktive, lustige Menschen, die sich darauf freuen, mit ihrer neuen besten Freundin spannende Ausflüge und lange Spaziergänge zu unternehmen, eventuell eine Hundeschule zu besuchen und abends stundenlang gemütlich auf der Couch zu kuscheln und die Erlebnisse des Tages gemeinsam Revue passieren zu lassen. Na, schockverliebt? Canela freut sich schon auf Post von Ihnen!

About Canela

What life with Canela looks like

Canela is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Canela, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Canela?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Canela on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Canela if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Canela already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Canela isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Canela and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
