Story
Oh my ears!!! Meet the cutest little girl this side of the Mississippi! Meet Poptart! With ears that fold like those old-school fortune teller paper games from elementary school, sometimes resembling delicate little praying mantis hands, Poptart is impossible not to fall in love with at first glance. She’s the kind of pup who warms up gently, but once she feels safe, her soft heart shines through in the sweetest ways. Treats and booty scratches are the keys to her affection, and she’ll quietly inch her way over for both, never demanding, always patient with those puppy eyes in full effect. Even though she is young, she has the best docile demeanor. She isn’t pushy for affection or attention and just waits patiently to be adorned on.She’s a perfect little princess and will make her new family so incredibly happy! We believe that Poptart is a Border Collie mix of some sort around 1 year old and weighs approximately 35 pounds. She is a petite little thing that has the softest coat and most gentle kisses. Due to her being a rescue, age and breed are our best guess and cannot be guaranteed. But that’s what makes rescue so fun! It’s so rewarding to adopt a dog and give them a life they could only dream of! Check out Poptart here: https://youtu.be/Lj451VHtil0 Poptart has lived with an 8-year-old child and their bond is something special. She followed her everywhere, always wanting to be nearby, proving that she’d make a wonderful family dog! Especially in a home with gentle, dog-savvy kids. With other dogs, she prefers to observe rather than dive into the action right away. In the yard, she was a little shy with our resident pups. The pushy ones made her a bit uncomfortable when they would run up hot and heavy to her face, so she would gently move out the way so they could play. She was more of an observer than a participator. But at her foster home, she thrives in doggy daycare where she is comfortable with all the puppy friends. So she will just need some time to warm up to her environment. A home with a medium-energy dog who respects her pace would be the perfect match to help her continue growing into her confidence. Cats are very intriguing to Poptart and it would be best if she was in a kitten free environment! She’s incredibly smart and very treat motivated, already showing off her skills like a pro and sure to pick up more with ease. In the video you can see her already mastering her sit! Whether you’re looking for a companion to train, travel with, or simply sip coffee next to on a sunny patio, Poptart is your girl. She is calm and composed during car rides, perfectly content in her crate, and simply a joy to be around! She would do well in a home or in an apartment. She just needs a person to love her. There’s something beautifully charming about Poptart. She doesn’t ask for the spotlight, but she has a way of stealing your heart just by being near. She’s ready to find the family who will help her feel safe, loved, and appreciated! Does Poptart sound like your future bestie? Apply today! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/687956a130599c26500e01d2 Questions? Email sarahgarcia@threelittlepittiesrescue.org We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. 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 pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey! You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience! The adoption fee is $900 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectible, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship! We have over 15,000 successful adoptions so far and have excellent Google Reviews: https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success. Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. 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 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 $1,120. 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 fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that Three Little Pitties Rescue is not government funded. 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. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!

Milo is a wonderful, active dog. The ideal owner for him would be an active person who loves to walk or run. He LOVES to play ball and can catch very well. He is crate trained and knows a few tricks. He loves all people and other dogs. A fenced in back yard is a must and the fence must be at least 6 feet tall. Very sweet and loving, needs stimulation! Very good if you have to take him to the vet.

Story
Alder is an extremely sweet, quiet, shy boy. He is the dog version of an introvert. He is gentle and sticks to himself and is great with other dogs of all sizes and with cats. He doesn't engage much with them thought as he prefers to do his own thing. He has to be the most low maintenance and chill dog I've ever had in the rescue out of hundreds of dogs. He is hesitant with people he doesn't know but never aggressive. Not an ounce of aggression. He was listed as a pit bull mix at the shelter when he was smaller and still a younger puppy but now that he is an older puppy (about a year) it's obvious that he is not a pittie but looks more like a border collie. 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.

He was listed as a pit bull mix at the shelter when he was smaller and still a younger puppy but now that he is an older puppy (about a year) it's obvious that he is not a pittie but looks more like a border collie. He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well.

Australian Shepherd + Labrador Retriever + German Shepherd Mix 10 months old Male 35 pounds Kids · 10+ Dogs · Yes Cats · No I don’t want to seem like a show-off or anything, but I am pretty sweet, and friendly, and affectionate with people... unless I am on leash! Goodness do I need help with my leash manners, I can pretty grumpy meeting new people and dogs on leash. I won’t mind sharing my home with kids 10+, or other dogs. I mean, they are all so much fun to play with! But I’m not to sure how to be friends with a kitty. I could run and wrestle and romp all day! I’m a pretty happy boy with a great attitude and a curious demeanor. I’ve got the brains to excel at arithmetic, but who am I kidding…I just can’t wait for recess! I’m super smart, playful, eager to please, and longing to be loved; so a family that is committed to working on continued training, giving me lots of guidance and structure is exactly what I need. I am teenager who is rebelling a little bit and need someone to help rein it in! Why not come in and meet me? I want so badly to show off what a cute fella I am! My adoption fee is $200 and includes microchip & registration, neuter, reduced-cost training class, free veterinary exam, leash/collar, food sample, toy & treat packet.

**Please note this is pet is currently out of town pet but we will transport this pet to Portland for you when adopted. All fees listed include transport fees.** Meet Copper! Copper is a very sweet, playful guy! He is around 4 years old, and at his last vet visit weighed in at 60 pounds. We think Copper probably has some Australian Shepherd, along with several other breeds including possibly Belgian Shepherd, Greyhound or Carolina dog. Copper is a beautiful and happy boy. He’s lucky to be alive! Copper came to us from the shelter at a time when he was minutes from losing his life because he had an upper respiratory infection. We are so glad he is with us now, and he is in a training program getting ready for his forever home! Copper does well in a crate, he also does well on a leash. Copper would love to be a hiking or running buddy! His foster mom said he is doing well at learning house training. Copper loves to play with his doggy friends especially tug-of-war with the big rope toys and will do wonderful at a daycare or dog park with other active and playful dogs!
