Story
This cutie is Buddy Holly. He is currently 2 months old. We think they may be a Black Mouth Cur / German Shepherd mix, but with rescue it’s a guess! What matters most is that they are adorable and are one the MOST desperate in the entire US based on statistics for where this puppy is from. Shelters in this area are having to euthanize puppies. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from us, it saves their life as well as the life of another in its place. Watch Buddy's video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsky3UFWdmw Buddy is a sweet and friendly puppy who loves making new friends wherever he goes. With his adorable floppy ears and wagging tail, he instantly wins hearts. Always curious, Buddy loves exploring his surroundings and learning new things. He's the perfect companion—loving, playful, and ready to bring joy to his forever home. He loves to play with his foster siblings and take lots of naps. Eat, sleep, play, repeat- such is puppy life! We pride ourselves in being able to give you good personality and behavioral information to help ensure this baby is the right fit for you. You are also welcome to do a Facetime call to meet your new baby before signing paperwork! Buddy Holly is still very young and will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. A puppy is discovering new things that shape their personalities with each passing day. Implementing routine, structure, setting boundaries, and proper socialization is key from the start. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy starting immediately when arriving into their new home, which will help with potty training, energy management, and the overall development of a well rounded adult dog. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Meet Bart! He is currently 5 months old, and we think he may be a Black Cur / Labrador Retriever mix, but with rescue it’s always a guess! This puppy is from a part of the US where puppies are regularly euthanized. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from this rescue, it saves their life AND it also allows us to save the life of another in its place. Watch Bart's video here: https://youtu.be/aNYHHHqbems?si=hkphItTbjcXpNc-p Bart – Certified Couch Potato & Unintentional Drift Racer Bart is the only boy in his litter and he’s embraced his role with sweet, wiggly pride. He’s a mellow little dude who lives for snuggles, belly rubs, and long, luxurious naps — preferably upside down. But when Bart gets excited? His tail goes into overdrive and his whole back end starts doing this hilarious sideways shimmy. Sometimes, he even drifts a little — like his joy has too much horsepower for those puppy brakes. It’s equal parts adorable and ridiculous, and we love him for it. Shy at first but endlessly loyal, Bart is the kind of pup who just wants to be your soft, snuggly sidekick (with the occasional surprise booty slide). If you’re into affectionate weirdos with great napping skills, Bart’s your guy. Bart is still young so he will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. Bart's new family will need to continue with potty and crate training and daily exercise. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy. When old enough, they will be perfect to go on walks and hikes or show off around your neighborhood. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Application link: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/681cd8a2a89947797c01cc21 Please email kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions. Available for adoption in NV, MT, CO,UT, ID, OR, WA, Canada, and now the East Coast! Our PNW dogs are brought to you in style by a beautiful USDA licensed semi-truck, equipped with air conditioning for comfort, two drivers, and 2 onboard attendants providing 24 hour care. Our East Coast route will travel in a private, air conditioned 3LP-run van transport. Pick up day is unforgettable! You will get to follow along on their journey through a private FB Event page, where you will see photos, have the opportunity to connect with other adopters, and receive updates and constant communication along the way. One of our Adoption Coordinators can help to find the closest transport pick up location to you! The adoption fee is $900.00 and includes all vetting as recommended by our doctor: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine (if old enough), multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, 2 months of heartworm preventative, extended medical such as dentals, eye surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries prior to adoption when suggested by our partner vets, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar for dogs over 4 months old, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and many priceless years of love and loyal companionship! *WE ARE TOLD THAT WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND MEDICALLY. This is the feedback we tend to get, although we cannot guarantee perfect health. *To fully vet a dog in the PNW or the NE at many vets it would be upwards of $1,800 just to fix, vaccinate, chip, etc. The adoption fees charged by our rescue do not cover our expenses medically for each animal, but we offset costs with donations. Your adoption fee is considered a donation towards actual costs. Why adopt from Three Little Pitties? The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is the highest in the nation. Statistics show that there are over 1 million homeless animals in this region alone.

Story
Meet Lisa! She is currently 5 months, and we think she may be a Black Mouth Cur / Labrador Retriever mix, but with rescue it’s always a guess! This puppy is from a part of the US where puppies are regularly euthanized. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from this rescue, it saves their life AND it also allows us to save the life of another in its place. Watch Lisa's video here: https://youtu.be/0RxP8B-nm6c?si=v1dOMGX_4gPJBz8c Lisa – The Soft-Eyed Sweetheart with an Old Soul Lisa may be just a pup, but there’s something unmistakably wise about her. She has the calm, observant nature of an old soul — the kind of puppy who watches the world quietly before jumping in. Her deep, steady gaze is what gets everyone first: soft, loving, and so full of feeling it almost stops you in your tracks. She’s the biggest of her siblings, and yes, she plays like a proper puppy — full of energy, curiosity, and the perfect splash of silliness. But even in the chaos, there’s something grounded about her. She doesn’t rush into things. She thinks, she learns, and she gives her love thoughtfully. Lisa can be a little shy at first, but once she opens up, she’s affectionate and loyal. She loves to lay belly up while she cuddles with you. She’s smart, sweet, and full of quiet charm. If you’re looking for a puppy with both spunk and soul — one who plays hard but feels deeply — Lisa might just be the one. Lisa is still young so she will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. Lisa's new family will need to continue with potty and crate training and daily exercise. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy. When old enough, they will be perfect to go on walks and hikes or show off around your neighborhood. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend!

Bart is still young so he will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. Bart's new family will need to continue with potty and crate training and daily exercise. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy. When old enough, they will be perfect to go on walks and hikes or show off around your neighborhood. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend!

Story
Meet Lisa! She is currently 5 months, and we think she may be a Black Mouth Cur / Labrador Retriever mix, but with rescue it’s always a guess! This puppy is from a part of the US where puppies are regularly euthanized. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from this rescue, it saves their life AND it also allows us to save the life of another in its place. Watch Lisa's video here: https://youtu.be/0RxP8B-nm6c?si=v1dOMGX_4gPJBz8c Lisa – The Soft-Eyed Sweetheart with an Old Soul Lisa may be just a pup, but there’s something unmistakably wise about her. She has the calm, observant nature of an old soul — the kind of puppy who watches the world quietly before jumping in. Her deep, steady gaze is what gets everyone first: soft, loving, and so full of feeling it almost stops you in your tracks. She’s the biggest of her siblings, and yes, she plays like a proper puppy — full of energy, curiosity, and the perfect splash of silliness. But even in the chaos, there’s something grounded about her. She doesn’t rush into things. She thinks, she learns, and she gives her love thoughtfully. Lisa can be a little shy at first, but once she opens up, she’s affectionate and loyal. She loves to lay belly up while she cuddles with you. She’s smart, sweet, and full of quiet charm. If you’re looking for a puppy with both spunk and soul — one who plays hard but feels deeply — Lisa might just be the one. Lisa is still young so she will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. Lisa's new family will need to continue with potty and crate training and daily exercise. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy. When old enough, they will be perfect to go on walks and hikes or show off around your neighborhood. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend!

Story
Tiki is a sweetie boy! He loves toys, gives the gentlest kisses, has a downright adorable face, and the sweetest most sensitive puppy-heart I have experienced. He is estimated to be 6-months-old, still growing, and currently weighs around 32 lbs. He is in the sweet spot of being puppy-hearted but old enough to show you who he really is: sensitive, affectionate, smart, and full of potential. This guy lives with over 10 dogs in his foster home and is doing amazing with all of them. His dog friends range from young to old and although they like to play and chase him, he enjoys his solo time just as much as he does playtime. Tiki thrives in calm, low-drama environments and is incredibly affectionate. His foster shared that he bonds really deeply with his people. Once he knows you are his safe space, he becomes melty in your arms and soaks up the affection like a sponge. 
Tiki is excellent with small dogs and learning that large dogs are not intimidating. Growing up as the biggest in a home full of littles means he thought that’s what life is but as he has met and played with more same size and larger dogs, he is seeing how fun and exciting it is to meet your match. He would thrive with a medium-to-low energy small dog friend or an equal sized dog that can give him a little time to warm up before going right in to ask if he wants to play. He is a sweet boy and still learning how to engage with big dogs. He is very responsive to guidance and shares toys and love with ease so we have no doubt he will be quick to connect if joining a home with an equal/larger dog. The day I met Tiki we were under a full-blown thunder storm and Tiki did not care for it. Although I could see he was a little stressed while outside, once we were inside the house where it was calmer and quieter, he was back to his happy, relaxed self. Tiki would do well in a home with older kids where he can peacefully build a bond over time. He met 4 year old Kobe and was gentle and sweet in his approach but also cautious of him, especially when he started jumping around and being a little wild. When we asked his foster, she shared that he has only met kids a few times and briefly. Rescue dogs are often learning about lots of new things in their foster homes and that is true for Tiki. His foster has exposed him to so many wonderful things and is teaching him a variety of skills. Currently, she shared that he is house and crate trained, food motivated, eager to please, great in the car and has great basic leash skills. It is easy to imagine Tiki being happy in a home with a yard for bouncing around in but with regular walks and enrichment, it is possible to see him as an apartment boy. In a house with lots of dogs, Tiki eats well and did initially, on occasion, try to sneak over to another dog’s bowl, so he is fed in his crate which has helped him learn his own things from the sharing things. Tiki is a soft, sweet, sensitive boy who just wants to feel loved and secure. With a little patience, a gentle routine, and maybe a dog buddy—he’s going to thrive. Questions?

We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA  or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)!

Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!  Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.  The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS: Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family  Discounts on Embark DNA test kit- $30 off of Breed ID test & $50 off of Breed ID plus Health test 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion A free private online dog training session with GoodPup, plus low pricing for future sessions  70% off of your first order of Fetch, a delicious PNW based fresh dog meatballs subscription Coupons for a fun visit to Petco 20% off of Dr. Cuddles pet first aid and hygiene solutions Discounted heartworm, flea prevention, and monthly dewormer  Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup! Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option.

Slinky is one of 11 hound mixes that rescuers in rural SW Oklahoma saved from a property where they barely had any shelter and fed inconsistently. Several rescues stepped in to take the dogs. I took 3. They are about 9 months old. And despite their horrible start in life all 3 of them have wonderful personalities and are super sweet. They are big, calm and great with other dogs and cats, including kittens. Shy at first but always friendly. They are not high energy and they do not bark or howl like you would expect from a hound. If you want a chill dog that is big, Slinky is your match. He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. He has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take him in or he will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found. Note: No dogs are advertised as potty-trained because most dogs need at least some re-training in a new environment and after being in a shelter/rescue environment/strays. www.facebook.com/desideratarescue (copy and paste into a new browser window) Transport locations: - Washington State (Kennewick, Spokane, Tacoma, Lynnwood/Edmonds, Bellingham) - Oregon (Portland and Springfield) - Colorado (Ft Lupton) - Idaho (Heyburn and Boise/Meridian) - Utah (Ogden) - Wyoming (Evanston, Rock Springs, Laramie) - Montana (Missoula) - Illinois (Vandalia, Springfield, Chicago) - Indiana (Spiceland, Burn Harbor) - Michigan (St Joseph, Battle Creek, Ann Arbor) - Wisconsin (Madison, Wausau, Eau Claire, Appleton, Milwaukee) - Minnesota (Minneapolis/St Paul) - Iowa (Des Moines) - Ohio (Columbus and London) - Pennsylvania (Erie, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg) - New York (Buffalo and Albany) - Connecticut (Enfield) - New Jersey (Bedminster) - Nevada (Las Vegas) - Arizona (Flagstaff) - Vermont (Brattleboro) Vetting: neutered, microchipped, rabies vaccine, bordetella vaccine, dhpp vaccine x 3, lepto vaccine x 2, dewormed several times, on monthly flea and tick prevention, on monthly heartworm protection, heartworm tested (negative).
