Story
Floyd is a four-year-old sweetheart who might be a Dachshund–Chihuahua mix—no one knows for sure, but we do know he’s 100% love. With his adorable floppy “Chihuahua-style” ears and his gentle, happy demeanor, he wins hearts everywhere he goes. This affectionate little guy is full of kisses, cuddles, and charm. He loves hopping onto the couch, rolling over for belly rubs, and staying close to his people. In his foster home, Floyd lives with both small and large dogs and gets along beautifully with everyone—he’s even polite enough to share food with his canine friends. Floyd is potty trained, crate trained, and ready to fit perfectly into a new home. Whether you’re a family looking for a friendly companion or a single person wanting a devoted best friend, Floyd is the kind of dog who will bring joy, affection, and loyalty every day. If you’re looking for a loving, easygoing companion to brighten your life, Floyd is waiting to meet you. Application:https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6923d80f11ba0706330f45f0 Questions? Email Priya@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 $1,600 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? APPLY TODAY and become a hero for pets in need!   *Due to the rising cost of fuel and transportation expenses, there will be an additional $74 surcharge for transport.   DISCLAIMER- Breed type is determined based on general appearance and behavioral characteristics, and cannot be guaranteed unless DNA test results were provided at intake.   Texas local adoption! All adoptions within Texas must be picked up from Friendswood, Tx.

Story
Are you a fan of small and sometimes independent dogs? We have a pair for you! These sweet dachshunds came to CVHS due to their family suffering a house fire. Burt and Baxter have shown us they really prefer the company of each other, so we`d like them to go to a new home together. Baxter is the more outgoing guy, who will trot confidently around his area, and let you know how he is feeling. He loves to give and receive attention by jumping up on your legs, hoping you`ll pick him up, or at least give him some pets. Sometimes he will even roll and show you his belly for gentle rubs. Sometimes, while soaking up attention from his human, he can get jealous if another person approaches, and will nip if they reach for him.Burt is more bashful than Baxter, and definitely looks to Baxter for his confidence. Burt is very sweet, loves to be held and carried. Once he is familiar with you, he loves to sit in your lap for attention. With his personality, he needs an adopter who can let him be him, as he will need time to settle into a new home, and the family`s routine. In their prior home, they both were exposed to kids over 6 years old, have not been exposed to cats, and have done ok with other familiar dogs. Both pups like to relax in their crates, especially if they can share one, and both have a habit of barking at new people. While they have that kid exposure, with the small dog nipping behavior, we recommend a home with older children, or none at all.Due to the age and great leash skills of this duo, their adoption fee is $400 for the pair. An optional training class could be added into the adoption fee, if an adopter is interested in continuing their training and bonding. Both dogs are pending canine dentals to keep them in good health, scheduled for March 18, 2026, so we can talk about them going to a home for foster-to-adopt prior to that. Please call the Adoption Center at 802-476-3811, or email info@centralvermonthumane.org, to schedule a time to talk to an adoption counselor about them, and to determine if you should meet Baxter and Burt.

Story
***OPIE AND PEARL ARE LOCATED AROUND THE FITZWILLIAM, NH IN A FOSTER HOME AND ADOPTER/APPLICANT MUST BE WILLING TO DRIVE TO THE AREA TO MEET/PICK UP*** Opie and Pearl are 2 gorgeous chi/terrier mix pups that are as sweet as can be. Opie is the male and he weighs approximately 16 lbs. Pearl is the female, and she weighs right at 10 lbs. We believe they were born around September 30th, which will put them around 5.5 months old. We do not believe they will get much bigger than they are now as they have already hit their growth spurt. They are siblings, and they do get along wonderfully, but we do not require them to be adopted together. But if you’re looking for 2 pups, these 2 would make a wonderful pair also. One of our volunteers was driving down the road in Texas, by the Mexico border, when these 2 puppies ran out in the road and almost got ran over. They were not street smart. Our volunteer followed the puppies and found the home they belonged to. We found out these 2 puppies (and the momma dog) belonged to a couple who had gotten them for their adult autistic son. The puppies and mom had never seen a veterinarian, and they did not have a fence to secure them, so they would just open the door and let the dogs out to go running the streets and neighborhood. Thankfully, they agreed to surrender the puppies to us, but unfortunately, they would not let us have the mom. The mom weighed around 18 lbs. These pups are very sweet and start wiggling their butts when they become comfortable with you, which doesn’t take long. They love rolling over for tummy rubs and just melt into you. Opie is much more outgoing and is just a little energizer bunny. He loves everyone and everything. He barrels into every room like that room was made specifically for him. The foster describes it as Opie needs to work on his entry; He pounces all over the bed when he announces his arrival. Opie would be perfect for a home that is more a bit more active and wants a dog to go on adventures, play with their children. Don’t be fooled though, Opie loves his cuddles! Pearl is much gentler than Opie. She wants to be next to you and in your lap, curled up and cuddling with you. Pearl loves to be your shadow and be as close to you as you can be. She would prefer someone home more than not. She doesn’t need as much exercise as Opie does, but she does get into her own little mischief. Pearl would be better for someone with slightly older children that are well-behaved and kind. They are both very curious pups and love exploring and learning new things. While they are quite different, they are like ying and yang, their personalities just mesh well, and they get along amazing together and love to cuddle with each other. Both Opie and Pearl do wonderful with other dogs and are currently fostered with 3 other small breed adult dogs. They have met cats and do fine with them. They have toys and enjoy playing with them, but they enjoy mischief a little bit more. When they are in their crate, they think the best game is which one can pull more stuff into the crate from outside of the crate. Pearl and Opie love sleeping on the bed/couch! They are crate trained, and working on full house training. If you’re looking for a smaller dog that doesn’t shed too much, enjoy being held, will be the most loyal companions and follow you everywhere and cuddle when you let them, please look no further than Opie or Pearl. These babies are FIXED (spayed/neutered), current on all 4 series of parvo/distemper vaccinations, current on bordatella, current on annual rabies vaccine, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, current on dewormer, microchipped, fecal test is negative, and have received a clean bill of health from a veterinarian. The adoption fee also includes the transport from Texas (where they came from) to the Northeast. To apply to adopt you can go to our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org
