Story
Two beautiful Goldendoodle sisters, ages 5 and 6, about 60 lbs each. They’ve been together since birth and we’re hoping to find them a home where they can stay together. Both are spayed, fully vaccinated, and house-trained. They are gentle and affectionate with toddlers and families, love daily walks, and enjoy snuggling when they’re home. They’re medium-energy dogs who thrive with daily exercise. They are strong and can pull on the leash when excited, so a confident handler and continued leash training are important. They will also bark at unfamiliar people or noises, but calm down quickly once they know someone is friendly. Their coats are soft and low-shedding but need regular grooming and brushing. We’ve come to the heartbreaking realization that our schedules no longer allow us to give them the attention they deserve. We’re looking for a loving, responsible home where they’ll be cherished and well cared for.

Story
Hi, I'm Tres! I'm a playful, happy, and energetic girl who loves to stay busy and connected. I enjoy playing with my sisters, meeting new people, and exploring everything around me. I was rescued from the street with my mom and five siblings when we were about six weeks old, and I've been growing braver and stronger every day.I know how to sit and come when called, and I'm excited to keep learning. My ideal home is an active one with people who enjoy exercise, love cuddling, and have kids to share the fun. I wouldn't be happy in an inactive home, and I haven't lived with cats yet, so that's unknown. I'm affectionate and full of life--sometimes I wrestle with my sisters, but it's all part of my big personality. If you want an energetic cuddle buddy, I'm your girl!This dog is currently in foster care in La Paz, Mexico, but will be transported upon adoption or foster placement. As a U.S. nonprofit, Hope 4 La Pawz, handles all logistics and provides full behavioral and medical info in advance.

Story
Hi, I'm Bambina! I'm a playful, curious, and happy girl who loves making the most of every day. I adore running around the yard, playing with my sisters, and then curling up with my favorite humans for cuddles. I was rescued with my mom and five siblings from the street when I was about six weeks old, and I've been blossoming ever since.I know how to sit and come when called, and I'm eager to keep learning. My ideal home has other dogs to play with, kids to laugh with, and people who enjoy walks or hiking. I wouldn't be happy with an inactive owner--I love being close to my people. I haven't lived with cats yet, so that's still a mystery. If you want a fun-loving cuddle bug, I'm your girl!This dog is currently in foster care in La Paz, Mexico, but will be transported upon adoption or foster placement.

Story
Meet Jesseie! 🐾 Jesseie is a scruffy little sweetheart estimated to be around five years old, and she’s a charming Yorkshire Terrier mix with a whole lot of love to give. She’s currently living in a foster home with kids, dogs, and cats—and she gets along wonderfully with everyone she meets. Jesseie is the definition of a perfect lapdog. She loves attention, cuddles, and being close to her people, whether that means curling up on the couch or following you from room to room. She’s gentle, affectionate, and happiest when she’s soaking up love. She would thrive in a home with other animals and a family, but she’d be just as happy as your one-and-only best friend. If you’re looking for a loyal, cuddly companion who fits right in, Jesseie might be the perfect match for you. 💕 Application: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/692cad3ba8718f17250f765a 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.
