Pet of the Week • 07-07-17

 
Meet Canelo, a laid back 4-year-old Shepherd mix with a red-and-black coat and an affinity for gentle strokes. He prefers to keep watch outside and would love a home where he can go in and out as he pleases. He does need a tall, sturdy fence, though, since he tends to test his boundaries sometimes. He is heartworm positive, but SPCA of Texas is treating the condition, and his medications will be free to whomever adopts him. He’s up to date with all age-appropriate vaccination and has been neutered and microchipped. His adoption fee is $25. #153126
