Story
I am just a baby! I am a Terrier mix. I seek an owner who will give me a lifetime of health and happiness. I need patience, guidance, socialization, and lots of playtime to learn and grow. I will need daily mental and physical stimulation and exercise. Before considering adding me to your life, make sure you have the appropriate amount of time, space, and resources available to care for me for my lifetime.

Meet Stunning Sola! 🌸 The Kaleidoscope-Eyed Wonder! 🌟🐾 ! At just 6 months old and weighing in at a charming 33 pounds, Sola is not your average pup – she's a proud Siberian Husky mix with a personality as vibrant as her uniquely mesmerizing chameleon-colored eyes! 🤩💖 Prepare to be smitten! 💖💖💖 Despite her youthful exuberance, Sola is more chill than energetic, especially for a husky puppy and she is an absolute dream.💝 Sola’s gorgeous eyes, glowing smile and her beautifully marked soft collared coat that's so perfect for snuggling will forever melt your heart and make you fall in love with her instantly!😍 Sola is a captivating little girl!❤️ 🥰 She is at the stage in her life where she’s ready to explore the world and create lifelong bonds with a loving family. 🥰 Her boundless enthusiasm is infectious, and she'll undoubtedly bring a smile to your face every day.😍 Precious girl not only has a gorgeous look, she also has the sweetest most affectionate, kind and loving nature. Sola is incredibly gentle puppy-girl. She is a love bug with a fun personality and can build a great relationship with a furry friend, kids and adults. Her incredibly unique appearance makes people stop to say hello and get to know her, as she is just a sweetheart. Children just adore her. 😍 💗Lovely girl is the perfect size, not too big and not too small and has a great balanced energy about her. Sola is pretty mellow, she’s not very hyper or jumping off the walls with energy but if you wanted to go on a mini hike in the mountains or brisk walk around the neighboorhood or park she can certainly keep up. She can match whatever energy you need her to within reason. She doesn’t seem like the marathon running partner type. She walks great on leash which will make adventures with Sola that much more enjoyable.🌸🐾 Despite her chill but yet playful nature, this tiny little girl also possesses a gentle and affectionate side. She adores human companionship and craves attention, making her an ideal addition to a family that can provide plenty of love and interaction. Smart girl is eager to learn and is already showing signs of intelligence and a willingness to please. Sola loves car rides and go to shopping! She is very coachable and potty trained! Super food and treats motivated which makes training with Sola so much easier! Sure, Sola might still be getting the hang of this whole "crate life" thing, but hey, who can blame her? With all the excitement and adventures waiting to be had, it's no wonder she's taking her time to adjust. With a little love, patience, and maybe a tasty treat or two, Sola is well on her way to becoming a crate-training pro. With consistent training and positive reinforcement, she will grow into a well-behaved and obedient companion.🐶 So if you're looking for a furry friend who's not afraid to embrace new challenges and learn at her own pace, Sola is your go-to pal. Get ready for endless cuddles, playtime, and of course, plenty of adorable puppy antics! With her gentle nature and affectionate personality, she's sure to win over hearts wherever she goes. 🥰 Sweet pup is in good health and has received her initial vaccinations. As she grows, she will require regular veterinary check-ups, vaccinations, and proper nutrition to ensure she thrives physically and mentally. As a Siberian Husky, Sola will require an active lifestyle to meet her exercise needs. Daily walks or runs, interactive playtime, and mental stimulation are vital to Sola’s well-being. It's important to note that huskies are known for their independent nature, so patience and understanding are essential when training Sola.💖 We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy. Please consider providing Sweet Sola with the love and care he deserves. Adopting a puppy is a long-term commitment, but the rewards are immeasurable. Contact us today to arrange an interview for Sola and begin the process of welcoming her into your home.🐶😍 Application link: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6629e72937ff2bb94404d8d5 Please email: Katiak@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions. 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 $825 and includes all vetting as recommended by our doctor: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine (if old enough), multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, 2 months of heartworm preventative, 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! *WE ARE TOLD THAT WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND MEDICALLY. This is the feedback we tend to get, although we cannot guarantee perfect health. *To fully vet a dog in the PNW at many vets it would be upwards of $1,800 just to fix, vaccinate, chip, etc. The adoption fees charged by our rescue do not cover our expenses medically for each animal, but we offset costs with donations. Your adoption fee is considered a donation towards actual costs. 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. Three Little Pitties Rescue is a nonprofit dog and cat rescue that partners with the community to make a difference. Our mission is to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and saving all breeds of dogs and cats from the streets or animal shelters that oftentimes have no other option but to euthanize animals for space. 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 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. Follow our rescue journey through the links below! https://www.threelittlepittiesrescue.org/ https://www.facebook.com/threelittlepittiesrescue https://www.instagram.com/threelittlepittiesrescue *Due to the rising cost of fuel and transportation expenses, there will be an additional $62 surcharge for transport. DISCLAIMER- Breed type is determined based on general appearance and behavioral characteristics, and cannot be guaranteed unless DNA test results or AKC registration were provided at intake.

Story
Pete is full of love for everyone and everything he meets. He just melts our hearts! He loves to be by his persons side all the time. Pete also loves to be held like a baby in your arms. He can even twirk. lol Pete has lots of energy and will do best with a family who is active. He is water and ball crazy. He listens well and can easily go places with you whether walks and hikes and enjoy events. He needs to have a canine buddy he can play with. He is friendly with all and any dog but some can get annoyed by his energetic manner. He is good with cats. Pete is fully trained plus some and him doing tricks is adorable. He would be a fantastic sports dog in disk, rally, agility etc. Pete was having a hard time in his crate when watching other dogs go by and he had to stay behind but as soon as he got into a foster home with fewer dogs, he did great and will often choose the crate for nap time of his own volition. Pete is a 1 1/2 year old border collie. If you’re interested in adopting Pete please fill out a pre adoption application on the link below.
