Story
Cannoli is a 10-pound, multi-colored Pomeranian. She is approximately 7 yrs old. She came to Dogs Unlimited Rescue after a kind Good Samaritan found her in heartbreaking condition. This tiny girl was severely matted, dirty, hungry, thirsty, and covered in fleas and ticks.
Despite everything she has endured, Cannoli is as sweet as can be. She loves being with her people, enjoys sitting by your side soaking up affection, and has a very calm, loving personality. With her beautiful multi-colored coat, sweet eyes, and gentle nature, it is easy to see why everyone who meets her falls in love.
Cannoli appears to do well with other small friendly dogs, walks nicely on a leash, and is doing great with her house training. She is also completely crate trained and settles comfortably in her crate. While we have not had the opportunity to test her with cats, we do not anticipate any issues. Because of her small size and mature age, we believe Cannoli would thrive in a home with older, respectful children (10 years and older) who can appreciate her gentle nature and provide a calmer environment.
Cannoli has already had a thorough veterinary evaluation. The good news is that all of her bloodwork came back looking good. Unfortunately, she did test positive for Lyme disease and is currently being treated with doxycycline. Her veterinarians expect her to make a full recovery. It is important to note that once a dog tests positive for Lyme disease, they can continue to test positive for years afterward, even after successful treatment.
As part of her workup, Cannoli also had X-rays and an ultrasound performed to establish a baseline and help determine whether she had previously been spayed before undergoing surgery.
Her X-rays did reveal some arthritis in her hips, and one hip appears to be slipping in and out of place. However, most of the time this does not slow her down. She will need steps to get on/off furniture and a home with carpet/rugs due to her hip issues. Slippery floors will be a challenge for her.
Cannoli was spayed and had her dental on 6/10. She had a lot of teeth pulled and will need to be on a soft/canned food diet as a result.
She will be available for adoption in approximately 2 weeks after she has had time to fully heal.
We only do local adoptions. Adopters are required to be within a one hour radius of the greater Cleveland area.
