Story
Fostered in Sante Fe, TX and ready to meet you is Bryan, the happy brindle boy! Bryan is best described as a loving, moderately playful pup who loves to have fun! He has such a confident energy and is great meeting all kinds of new friends, two legged and four legged alike! Bryan is currently fostered at a vet's office! So he is accustomed to some hustle and bustle and and has some kitty friends that he roams around with! His cat friendliness could change in a home, but so far we believe he likes them! Bryan is working on his leash and crate training skills, but with all the love and kisses you'll receive in return, the work is worth it! Bryan would love a home with a yard to run around, another playful pup to romp around with, and lots and lots of belly rubs! If this sounds like you, apply today! We are happy to test Bryan with whatever you need to ensure he's a good fit! Application link: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/661445c5f2f76706ab0a9d8c Please email kari@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions. Available for adoption to anywhere in the US. We transport near or into NV, MT, CO,UT, ID, OR, WA, Canada, and now the East Coast! Our dogs and cats are brought to you in style by a private, air conditioned 3LP-run van or bus transport, two drivers, and 2 onboard attendants providing 24 hour care. 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. We can help to find the closest transport pick up location to you! The adoption fee includes all vetting per our veterinarian: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter surgery, 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! *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 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: • 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 6 year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 13,000 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.

Story
Fostered in Houston, TX and ready to join her new family for all kinds of adventures is Luna!!! Luna is a spunky young girl who we think is a plott hound/pittie mix, but with rescue it's always best guess! Her DNA test will be a fun one to do though! Whether you're looking for a running partner, a hiking buddy to hit the trails with, or a pal to throw a ball for in the backyard, Luna is your girl! She lives to have fun and be by your side. She likes to learn tricks too! She has already mastered sit and shake! And she says, done✔️ What's next?? Luna enjoys other four legged friends too! She would love to have another playful brother to romp around with. She even did well meeting the Rescue house cat! This could change in a home, but initial reactions were good! In summary, Luna is a fun, sweet, and playful pup who wants nothing more than a family to call her own. Is that you?

Story
Freyja is a sweet young 2 year old girl. She has tons of energy. She really needs a home that can give her more attention than we are able with two kids and busy schedules. She’s a great runner, often runs 6-8 mi with me multiple times per week. But even with that she really needs more outlet. Really is sweet and sometimes thinks she’s a lap dog.

Story
Hello ! My name is Spades, this may be bragging a little, but I think I would be your perfect companion! Let me tell you a little about myself, and you can see for yourself! I even made a list of all my great qualities for you #1: I am very people friendly and I am always so excited meeting anyone new. I even let these silly people put a cowboy hat on me, I mean how many dogs would put up with that?! I would love to join you on all your adventures ! #2 I am a great companion to other dogs. I take my title of "police dog" very seriously, and will give corrections to a new dog if they are being too pushy with play. We all just have to get along right?! I love to play chase with my dog friends though. I am good with dogs of all sizes. I can be very playful but also chill when I have had enough. #3: I could probably live with a cat! Although I haven't lived with a cat, I met one at the rescue! I didn't really care to interact with the cat, but why would you when there are people around! #4 . I really am just about the perfect size and age. I am only a year old, but already potty trained ! Being around 20 lbs I can do hikes and walks without getting tired, but am a very manageable size. My girlish figure is in tip top shape if I do say so myself. I would do best in a home with a yard to run around and play in. Although have some leash manners to learn ( I just like to go pull to see all the people and dogs to go play with, who can blame me really?) I would even do great in a busy home with people coming in and out because I am so people friendly and absolutely loves people. Given my breed of beagle mix, I can be a little vocal, so no apartments for me. Please email jacquelynn@threelittlepittiesrescue.org if you have any questions about me , she would be happy to answer ! I hope we meet soon! Sincerely, Spades Application link : https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6616c779a655e5a1390c23df Available for adoption in NV, MT, CO,UT, ID, OR, WA, Canada, and now the East Coast!
