Canellos was tied up in a small enclosure up on a mountain, alone and without human contact except for those occasional times when someone brought him food and water. For shelter, he had only two rusty barrels. He was not given enough food (he was skin and bones) and the enclosure was never cleaned, and so he was forced to live in his own filth.
Canellos was permanently removed from his owner on 12 of February 2020 by the public prosecutor. Because his previous experience with humans was difficult and limited, he reacted with fear when we first approached and even if we offered gentle affection. However, after 3 months in our care and a lot of caresses later, he has transformed into a completely different dog.
Canellos is a happy, confident, and playful dog. He gets along well with other dogs and always wants to play with them. He also loves all people and children. He shows great interest in cats and if he is free he may give chase but he does nothing when a cat is calm inside a home environment. He is very smart and he learns very fast.
He weighs 27kg and he is a mixed German shepherd dog.
Canellos is available for adoption also through the Dutch organization "Mirtos Animal Project". You can find his profile here: https://www.mirtos.nu/adopteer/kanelos
