More about Canelo
Meet Canelo!
Canelo is a fun-loving Akita cross with a big personality and an even bigger heart! This handsome boy is always pleased to see people and greets everyone with a wagging tail, a goofy smile and plenty of enthusiasm. Once he knows you, he loves nothing more than climbing up beside you for a cuddle and being part of the action.
Canelo is looking for a home with owners who have some understanding of Akita breed traits and are happy to continue his training. He already has some lovely foundations in place and responds well to positive, reward-based training. Building his confidence with handling, practising loose lead walking and continuing his social skills will help him settle into family life.
He is a sociable dog who enjoys spending time with other dogs and has shown lovely communication skills in his assessments. He particularly enjoys playful dogs who like a bit of rough-and-tumble, but is also able to take breaks and relax before choosing to re-engage. Canelo could happily live with another dog following successful introductions and would enjoy having a canine companion to share his home with.
Canelo can live with teenagers aged 13+ who are confident around larger dogs and can be involved in his ongoing training and enrichment.
Canelo would love a home away from the hustle and bustle of the inner city where he can enjoy quieter walks while he settles into his new routine. A private garden would be a bonus but isn’t essential, provided his new family can offer plenty of exercise, enrichment and opportunities to explore.
If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with plenty of character who will keep you smiling every day, Canelo could be the perfect addition to your family.
If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Canelo, you can e-mail our rehoming team on rehoming@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.
We ask every customer to first complete our online form before we discuss an individual dog, so if you have not filled in our form yet you can find the details on how to do so here https://www.battersea.org.uk/rehome/dogs
Please be aware that we have a large amount of interest in rehoming our animals, so we are only able to contact those that are a match for the dog you have contacted us about
Rehoming FAQs
Here at Battersea, we assess all of our dogs individually and create a rehoming profile for them. To ensure successful matches between people and pets, we use a combination of extensive rehoming experience, our staff expertise and the information you provided in your rehoming form. Once you complete your online registration, you’ll receive a confirmation email to let you know that we have everything we need to begin our matchmaking process, as well as the next steps of the process.
This may not always be the dog you thought it would be, which is why we ask that you see the registration form as a way of registering your interest in rehoming, not an application for a specific animal. We’re experts in making sure we find the right home for our dogs and the right dog for your home.

Once you’ve completed our online registration form, we’ll handle the rest. Your rehoming registration will be open for up to three months, and in that time, we’ll do our very best to try and match you with a pet that best suits you and your lifestyle. It can take a bit of time for us to try and match you with a pet – but we promise it’s time well spent. We’re committed to getting to know every animal at our centres before finding a match that works for our dogs and for you wherever possible.
If we are not able to match you with a dog within three months, we’ll let you know and offer guidance to help you continue your search, either at Battersea or beyond.

Our rehoming fee is £230 for dogs (over six months), £350 for a pair of dogs, or £275 for puppies (under six months). We accept cash or debit/credit card as payment (we are unable to accept cheques). Included in this cost are the following:
- Microchipping
- Initial vaccinations, flea and worming treatment
- Neutering
- A collar, identification tag and lead
- Starter pack of food, advice and special offers
- Four weeks’ free Petplan insurance as your dog settles into their new surroundings
Something to bear in mind is that our rehoming fee is just the beginning of the costs involved with owning a dog. We would recommend that before making the decision to rehome, you investigate the costs of pet food, pet insurance, grooming and fees at your local veterinary centre so that you are fully prepared for the financial implications of bringing a dog into your home.
