About Cannoli

Cannoli is a spirited little guy making his home in foster care in Houston, Texas, and he’s ready for a loving forever home. At approximately 11 months old, he weighs just 13 lbs and is a delightful mix of Chihuahua, Poodle, and Shih Tzu, plus a bit of everything else for good measure.

This playful boy is crate trained and has made great progress with his potty habits, usually darting outside when nature calls. Cannoli does have a history of separation anxiety from his days as a stray, but he’s becoming more independent and enjoys snuggling up near his foster's feet after a day of fun.
