About Cannoli

Meet Cannoli, a lively little guy in foster care in Houston, Texas. This approximately 11-month-old mixed breed weighs around 13 lbs and has the charm and energy of a Chihuhua and Shih Tzu. Cannoli truly embodies the spirit of a playful pup. He loves running and playing in the yard with his furry friends, showcasing boundless energy that rivals the Energizer Bunny. Crate trained and growing more independent, Cannoli has come a long way from his days as a stray. He initially had some separation anxiety but now enjoys being around other dogs and often soothes himself by curling up near his foster’s feet or retreating to his crate for a nap. While he’s still mastering leash training, he learns quickly and is eager to please. We require that his new home does not have children under 8 years old. Cannoli is spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccinations including Rabies, DHPP, Bordatella, and Canine Influenza. To bring Cannoli into your home, there’s no adoption fee, as he is already in foster care. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
