About Cannoli

Cannoli is currently in foster care in Houston, TX. This lively little boy is a mix of Chihuahua, Poodle, and Shih Tzu, with plenty of energy to keep you entertained. He loves to run and play in the yard with his friends, and at around 11 months old, he weighs just 13 lbs. Cannoli is crate trained and has made great strides in overcoming his initial separation anxiety. He now enjoys playing with his buddies and often cuddles up at his foster's feet when he's ready for a nap. Although he’s pretty good about going to the bathroom outside, he still needs some leash and harness training, but he's a smart pup and learns quickly. Cannoli gets along well with other dogs and would thrive in an active home. Adoption comes with all vaccines, microchipping, and a lovingly prepared little companion. Please note that we do not adopt to households with children under 8 years old. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
