CANDY

An E.C.A.D.R. Dog

Candy (aka Candy Cane) is a 6 yr. old Pekingese rescued from a puppymill when she was used up and no longer able to provide puppies for the miller. Candy is a very sweet and loving girl if you are a female - and once you earn her trust. I don’t know how long it would take for her to trust a man, if ever. She is alright with my husband as long as he ignores her and I am around. I can also put her on his lap and she will stay if I am there with her. She will not get out of her crate sometimes to go outdoors for my husband if I'm not around - but this is improving. She also has been a bit better over the past week about not barking at my husband. She is not aggressive with other dogs and likes to be around people and other pets.

She just loves to watch everything and has learned to play outdoors with the other dogs. A favorite thing is to run around and explore the backyard. She is very food motivated, so can be trained and coaxed to come using food. She has short legs, but is able to move around good and get up and down stairs. She does not like to be up on the furniture, preferring to stay on the floor. Candy has been around other animals all her life in a kennel - her favorite friend is another foster from the same mill, a Pug. They sleep together at night and stay together in the same crate during the day all curled up together. I am sure she will befriend another dog as long as the other dog is not aggressive. Candy will be a wonderful companion for a female who is patient and calm.

Candy is being fostered in Manlius, NY and her asking adoption fee is $225.

NOTE: Due to the volatile price of gas, getting multiple volunteers to help with long distance transporting is no longer feasible. We have listed the town and state where each dog is being fostered. Please consider how far you are willing to travel when filling out the application. The foster home will usually volunteer to help with transport for a reasonable distance.
