This cute-as-a-button little one is Cannoli, and she is ready for a very furever family of her own! Cannoli, like her namesake, is as sweet as can be and adores any attention from her people. Ear scratches? Yes please! Belly rubs? OMG absolutely! If you are looking for a snuggle bug before bedtime (or anytime, really), this little girl will worm herself into your arms for cuddles. Since settling into her foster home, Cannoli is also busy learning everything about house manners and cues as she wants to be the most pyrfect girl for her furever family. Just like any puppy her age, recess time is her favorite time of the day, especially when she gets to play with her foster siblings and her toys, or pick out a few chew toys to gnaw on. This easy-going puppy will thrive in a loving home where she will be loved and pampered. With such a loving pyrsonality, we are pawsitive Cannoli will mature into the most wonderful and loyal companion for one lucky family!

NYS Registered Rescue # RR102

Our goal is to assess every application on its own merits. Key considerations are: 1) the experience of the applicant with large breed dogs 2) children in the household or regularly visiting the household are ready for a large-breed dog who is a guardian by nature and 3) the sex of other dogs currently residing in the household to avoid same-sex aggression issues. For puppies under six months old, the applicant’s ability to socialize the puppy with older dogs is a priority.
