Featured Pet
Hugh is a recent addition to our
kennel. He gets along well with
other dogs and cats. He can be
fearful of men, and has a pretty
high energy level. His foster family
has reported that he is potty trained.
This breed needs dog-experienced
families and people who are very
active; a bored Canaan is a
destructive Canaan. His adoption
fee is $200.
