Story
Calling all Chihuahua lovers! Dolly is a two-year-old, 12-pound Chihuahua mix seeking her forever home. Do you work from home? This girl will sink into your lap and sit all day with you, and she won’t interrupt you with barking or nuzzles. She might be front and center on video calls, but she stays quiet. So, if you need a work assistant to help keep you calm, focused and warm while working at your computer--Dolly is your girl. If you travel for work that’s great too because she is only 12-pounds, so she’s easy to transport. She jumps into the car and rides well in the passenger seat. She is very loyal and cuddly, especially with her favorite human. She's food motivated, so when treats are involved, she will approach for affection and even jump up for more love. Tasty treats win her over, so even if she doesn’t immediately like a person, a snack can change that. Dolly is a great sleeper and is potty trained. She prefers to play with puppies or just receive all the love and attention herself. She isn’t a fan of large dogs but is easily redirected. Because Chihuahuas are innately territorial and can be a bit touchy, she would do best in a home with older kids. Although she did well sitting in a room with the cats, we don’t think she would enjoy living with them. Dolly likes to roam freely, not preferring the kennel, though crate training is recommended. She is easy on a leash. She will follow you and not yank or pull. Dolly needs a structured home with a knowledgeable handler, and time to decompress and open up. If you can provide the training and love she requires, Dolly will shower you with affection. Apply to adopt this sweet girl today!

Story
Do you love snuggly teeny pups? Birdie is just that and more! She is a whopping 13 lbs, and most of that is her big heart! When this girl loves, she loves hard. Lullaby Birdie is estimated at 6 months old and the sweetest snugglebug you will ever meet. She is ready to curl up for nap time and will nuzzle her adorable little snout right at your neck. She has the most adorable little petite face, softest little belly, softest teeny paws, teeniest little ears-- you won't be able to resist a smile. Wait until you see her bounce around like a little, big dog-- total feelgood moment. Clear your camera roll. You will want to make room for the gazillion photos and videos that you won't be able to resist taking! Lullaby Birdie is still a young pup and enjoys to play. She is currently fostered in a home with a little girl, who she adores, and a few dogs who she loves to run around and have a good time with. They have been instrumental in teaching her the dog ways. She is a smart cookie, and very quick learner. Best part is that even though she is still young, she has crate training and potty training down packed! Keep in mind that she is a little one and may need just a few days to adjust and put all these skills in place in a new home. Birdie is looking for a home with the softest blanket and cushiony hooman arms that she can crawl in and love you forever. Don't miss out on this beautiful little one. Apply today!

Oh little Chewy Joe! He is so much fun and he is a big dog in a little man’s body. He has so much spunk and he is so confident for how tiny he is! He also can rock any hair style you give him. We love a confident little fella like Chewy. He is full of energy, loves to have fun, and also enjoys a good snuggle sesh as well. He’ll sit in your lap for how long you let him and get all of the lovin’s from ya! Watch his video here: https://youtu.be/wCZI4DpBfOs?si=AiWamYsP0SFmZNdR Chewy Joe is a Chiuahaha mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 12 lbs and is fully grown!! He’s a little guy and full of spunk! Chewy loves being apart of the pack and loves to be around his dog friends, big and small. He’s not scared and was actually jumping all over a 60 lb block head pittite. It was hilarious. Chewy loves to play and run around and would do best in a home with other active playful dogs like him that have a high tolerance for young jumpy little scruffy guys. He does accept corrections from other dogs if he is being too much for them. Chewy also did great during our at test and was completely unphased by them. He was more interested in playing with his doggy friend and being with his humans. We do not know if he has ever lived with a cat and this can change once in a home a environment. If anything he will want to play with the cat. Chewy will do great in home with a backyard or even an apartment/condo home environment. He’s a little guy and is confident in new places making him the perfect companion to take with you on errands, trips to starbucks, or even in your purse if you have one that he’ll fit in. Chewy does great meeting new people and knows no stranger. He is very tolerant with physical touch and would make a great addition to a family with kids 7+ and up. To our knowledge, he is crate trained and potty trained but may need a reminder about where the appropriate potty places are once he arrives at his forever home. We are willing to test this dog with anything you need us to in order to ensure it’s the perfect match for you! We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

This dog you’ve found online is lucky to be in our program, and even luckier to have you notice it! Three Little Pitties wants to set you and your new pet up for success! We know our dogs and we work hard to prepare them socially for adoption. We are a network of dedicated people who are heavily invested in seeing our animals thrive. From the moment they are accepted into our program, our Intake, Behavior & Medical teams prepare them for adoption by properly vetting, behaviorally assessing, and providing customized plans depending on the dog’s needs. We provide weekly socialization programs for our dogs through playgroups and group leash training classes available to all dogs in our adoption program, and Doggy Sleepover, Doggy Day Out, and Ambassador programs for our boarding dogs. There is a professional dog trainer on staff to provide support for our fosters and dogs, and an off-site dog trainer for dogs that need more extensive behavior modification. This helps us learn deeply about every dog, prepare them for adoption, and ultimately match them with loving families. We seek to adopt to families who understand that these are rescue dogs and will require continued training efforts, but will be well on their way to being the best dogs that they can be! It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these special perks: • 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion (must register within 24 hours of first vet appt.) • A free private online dog training session with GoodPup plus low pricing for future sessions (approx $25 weekly for an 8 week course of one session per week) • One free bonus toy in every BarkBox when signing up for their Super Chewer subscription plan • 70% off of your first order of Fetch, a PNW based, organic fresh dog food loaf meal subscription plan • Coupons for a fun visit to Petco • 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! We celebrated our 5 year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 12,000 very lucky dogs and cats into amazing homes! By adopting from us, you save TWO lives! The pet you adopt, and you create an opportunity for another animal to be saved in that spot. Together, we can be heroes.

Story
Hi, I'm Rocky! I'm a little bundle of joy and what you might call "pocket-sized," because I can fit right into your purse, stroller, or even a baby swing! I'm around 10-months-old and barely tip the scale at 10-pounds. I can't guarantee what breed mix I am exactly—being a rescue pup and all—but one thing's for sure, I rank high in cuteness! Now, about my social life. I LOVE people, like a lot! New people especially get my tail wagging and my body wiggling like crazy. While I do love affection, I like to have my personal space respected as well. So, if I've had enough, I'll let you know with a little squirm and a low growl. Older kids who understand when I need a little "me time" would be perfect for me. When it comes to other dogs, I'm good as gold! But here's the thing: I like my canine companions to be on the mature side and not too hyper. Jumping all over me isn't really my style; I prefer to do my own thing. A home with moderately playful but mature dogs who respect my space would be a great fit for me. I would also love being an “only dog” and receiving all the attention! I've got some puppy energy still stored up, so a place where I can stretch my legs would be fantastic. Maybe a yard or a spacious apartment? Also, I'm new to walking on a leash, so if you're planning on taking me on adventures, I could use more leash training. As for the house rules, I get the gist of crate training and I'm mostly potty-trained, though I might need a little refresher when I get to my forever home. I’m being fostered in Friendswood, TX and I’m eagerly awaiting a new adventure! I can travel to the states listed below as well as states on the East Coast, plus Canada! I can travel to my new home as soon as October 5th. Please email Kelsey@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions. Application link: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/650c84f476c17fdb45025477 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 $800 and includes all vetting: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, 2-6 months of heartworm preventative according to age, heartworm testing and heartworm treatment if applicable, 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! 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
This dog does not appreciate small children and will require a home without them. He enjoys being the center of attention and will not hesitate to let the household know if he is feeling neglected. He sleeps in his crate, with his blanket. He knows his basic commands. He is described as a one-person dog. He takes a bit to warm up to people so patience is a must. He is small but mighty and a fully fenced yard will be required.

Nora is a chihuahua mix Approx 2 years old Approx 9lbs She's shy at first but friendly quickly. Attaches to you quickly and is so loving! She would do great in a home with another dog but she would also be fine in a home without other dogs. We haven't seen her around any cats yet, but she will likely be fine with them given her sweet nature. She's currently in foster care. Applications to adopt are on our website. www.ihelpedsave.ca @ihelpedsave
