Story
*fostered in Bellingham, WA* Huckle is a sweet little 2 yr old terrier mix looking for his new home now that he has made it to the PNW! He is a very special boy, once he trusts that you are his person, he is all love! Huck is goofy, loves curling up with his person and following you around, and being your tiny best friend. He’s potty trained,crate trained, great in the car, good on leash and enjoys short outdoor adventures—sunny strolls, a little beach exploration, or simply sniffing around the yard. He loves to zoom around in the tall grass and bounce to his hearts content. His ideal home would be a single person who he can have all to himself. He would love a doggy companion and a yard to run in. He is currently being fostered with another dog and cat and does very well with both. This little frolicker isn’t suited for a busy household with small kiddos, but once he is outdoors he comes alive with joy! He loves walks, exploring, and does great in the car. He really is the perfect dog for the right person, he is calm, affectionate, easy to life with, low energy indoors, and happy to snooze on your lap while you work. If you’re looking for a loyal, ride-or-die sidekick who will bring endless love, snuggles, and gentle companionship, Huckle is your boy.

Email jacquelynn@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)!

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 $1,000 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectable, 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.

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!

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.

Meet Willa Jean! 🐾 Willa Jean is a shy but sweet scruffy girl with a heart that blooms once she feels safe.

She currently lives with a foster family that includes older kids and other dogs, and she enjoys the calm, steady presence of her foster dad—her favorite porch buddy. Willa has a soft spot for gentle men and would thrive in a home with a patient adult or a quiet singleton who understands that trust takes time. She’s comfortable around calm canine companions and could coexist peacefully with another mellow dog. Her ideal day includes lounging in her own yard, soaking up the sunshine, and ending the day curled up in a cozy spot next to her person. If you’re looking for a loyal snuggle buddy who just needs a little time and patience to blossom, Willa Jean is ready to find her forever home—and her forever heart. 💕 Application: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/684109704c93cce7b20cbfa7 If you have any questions, email her adoption coordinator at Marie@threelittlepittiesrescue.org We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care.

Story
Suzie-Que was replacement for my disabled wife's Yorkie that was killed by Pitbull. My wife passed on 5/15/25. Suzie-Que loves to play with toys, take walks and sit in your lap when it's time to chill. Suzie-Que turned 5 in January. I have a second dog Brutus, not yet 2. Brutus and Suzie-Que had puppies 1/25/26 and are a couple. The puppies have new homes. I lost my home and these pets deserve a great home. Having to rehome my pets is very saddening but must be done. If these two could be together it would be great. I would be willing to waive fees for a good home.

These pups are in Bellingham, Washington too!

Story
Stumpy is tiny, scruffy, and completely irresistible. She looks like a little storybook puppy come to life, with her adorable scruffy coat and her small, delicate frame—but what really makes her unforgettable is her incredibly sweet and loving personality. Stumpy is the kind of pup who just wants to be close, always ready for cuddles, always soaking up affection like it’s her favorite thing in the world. She may be small, but her heart is huge. Stumpy has a gentle, loving nature and a soft way about her that makes everyone instantly fall for her. She enjoys playtime, especially with toys or other gentle pups, but she’s not overly wild—she prefers sweet, happy moments and lots of snuggles. She would be perfectly content curling up in your lap, feeling safe and loved. Watch her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/Ud_wjpnRVxM?si=TvPfD3cL1tjlkw6x At just about 5 months old, Stumpy is still very much a baby, and she’s looking for a forever home where she can grow up surrounded by love and care. Her tiny size and scruffy cuteness make her extra special, but it’s her affectionate, tender personality that truly makes her shine. She’s going to be the most devoted little companion for someone who wants a soft, cuddly best friend. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69e2451f361f9b07d104173a Questions?

Story
Pez is a tiny, scruffy little bundle of pure sweetness. Everything about her—from her adorable size to her soft, slightly tousled fur—makes you want to scoop her up and never let go. She has the cutest, most endearing presence and a personality that’s just as lovable as her looks. Pez is gentle, affectionate, and incredibly cuddly, always happiest when she’s close to someone who loves her. She has a soft, playful side that comes out in the most adorable ways—little bouncy steps, curious sniffs, and sweet puppy antics—but she’s never too busy for affection. Pez truly thrives on love and connection, and she bonds quickly with the people around her. She would do beautifully in a home where she can get lots of attention, gentle playtime, and, of course, endless cuddles. Watch her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/Ud_wjpnRVxM?si=TvPfD3cL1tjlkw6x At around 5 months old, Pez is still learning about the world, and everything is new and exciting to her. She’s ready to grow alongside her forever family, bringing joy, warmth, and sweetness into their lives every single day. If you’re looking for a tiny, scruffy pup with a huge heart and an even bigger capacity for love, Pez is waiting to meet you. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69e24542b6c790a23e08d39b Questions?
