Canelo von DeWitt

Canelo von DeWitt is as gentle and as kind as he looks. He is a 2 year old German shepherd who has seen two sides of the world. He has known neglect but he has known all that is right with the world too.Canelo was left at a crowded shelter by his family, our guess is that he was too gentle and not guard dog material. So worried and stressed he got kennel cough, when he was brought to our attention by a late night call from another rescuer, Canelo had already been signed off to be euthanized in the morning. Shortly after Canelo was picked up from the shelter by one of our volunteers we got a call from what was to be Canelo’s guardian angel. Pat DeWitt offered to have Canelo treated by her vet and would take care of his vet bills. Pat visited Canelo everyday and brought him chicken to get him eating again. With good veterinary care and her love and good food Canelo rallied right away.

Today Canelo is a well behaved, healthy and handsome guy. His foster mom owns her own business so Canelo goes to work with her everyday trots down the hall to check on everyone and sees if anything interesting is going on. Canelo rides home with his foster mom at the end of the day to Marina Del Rey. Canelo loves the beach and loves to run with the other dogs. He gets along with everyone large and small. Canelo according to his foster mom is “the perfect dog”. At the end of a long day, he curls up in the bed next to his foster dad and mom. He sleeps well knowing they are near, life is good.
