Story
Meet the Elegant Jenn! Get ready to meet Jenn, a beautiful dog with a story of resilience and a heart full of love. Jenn and her sister, Josie, were found lost and alone in Birmingham, AL. Now, this graceful girl is ready to find a loving, permanent home. At 19 pounds, Jenn is the "big sister" of the pair—confident, elegant, and full of charming personality. Her sleek black coat shines beautifully, and her gentle, soulful eyes are sure to melt your heart. Jenn is a pleasure to be around; she walks beautifully on a leash and adores getting attention from her favorite people. After a good playtime, she is more than happy to curl up for some quiet snuggles. Jenn is great with other dogs and loves people. For households with feline friends, she can be cat-tested to ensure a happy match for everyone. While Jenn has a strong bond with her sister, she is an independent girl who will thrive on her own. Of course, she wouldn’t mind if both she and Josie found wonderful homes where they are equally cherished. If you are looking for a poised, loving, and gentle companion, Jenn is the perfect dog for you. Give this deserving girl the wonderful forever home she has been waiting for. Apply to adopt Jenn today Adption Fee: $250 Currently located in Fosters, AL and can be transported North to an adopter for an additional $200. Interested in adopting?

Story
**Now fostered in Seattle, WA** Meet Tuck – Your New Best Friend! Tuck is a sweet and gentle dachshund with a heart full of love and a true talent for cuddling. This little guy is the definition of a lap dog and thrives in calm, quiet environments with people that enjoy having their dog with them wherever they are, and where he can enjoy the simple pleasures of life—like sunny naps, leisurely strolls, and cozy evenings on the couch. Tuck has experience living with other dogs, but he’d be perfectly content as the only dog in a home, especially with a singleton or older adult looking for a loyal companion. Tuck is also great with cats! He can live very peacefully with a feline friend, as he currently does in his foster home. He’s wonderful on leash and will happily accompany you on walks, or enjoy the freedom of a secure yard where he can sniff and explore. Tuck does great out in public, greeting all the friendly faces, and would be an excellent brewery dog! Tuck is really easy going, and as long as his people are near, he is just happy, happy, happy :) If you're looking for a devoted, low-key companion who will adore you endlessly, Tuck might just be your perfect match. Application: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/68276c8f79331b00a70d9c8a Questions? Email Kari@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 $1,200 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. 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. 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!   Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.   https://www.threelittlepittiesrescue.org/ https:// www.facebook.com/threelittlepittiesrescue https://www.instagram.com/threelittlepittiesrescue   Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
