Shih Tzu Dogs Available for Adoption in Calgary, Alberta

Cannoli came to us very shut down, but he’s blossomed into a completely different dog as he’s learned that people can be kind and safe. He absolutely loves being with his humans and has formed a very special bond with our 11-year-old daughter.

Cannoli is discovering how fun life can be—he’s learning to play with toys, enjoys a game of fetch, and is working on basic commands like “sit.” He loves his walks and sniffing and exploring outside, as long as his people are with him.

He’s an affectionate, cuddly little guy who thrives on love, scratches, and simply being by your side.

He gets along well with other dogs and, while he’s curious about our guinea pigs, he shows no signs of aggression.

Cannoli is ready to find a patient, loving home where he can continue to grow and feel safe—he’ll reward you with endless affection.
