Story
Hi there. My name is DASH (Boris) and here is a little info about me:Breed: Flat Coated Retriever mixAge: 2 years oldGender: MaleWeight: 28 kgHeight: 47 cmHighlights: gentle, outgoing, friendly, social, watchful Despite my hardships growing up, I possess a gentle spirit and a pair of soulful eyes that speak of resilience.I had a rough start. Born on the streets of Turkey, I had to learn to survive. My days were filled with scavenging for food, avoiding larger dogs, and seeking shelter in hidden corners. I used to live on a university campus and was a community dog. However, it did not take long before university management started to collect all dogs and put them in a municipal shelter, which is simply a death sentence for a dog here. My community of volunteers didn’t let this happen and placed me into a boarding facility.Known for my friendly and outgoing nature, I form strong bonds with my peeps. I am often eager to please. With my glossy coat and playful demeanour, I will become a beloved member of your family, capturing the hearts of everyone in your home.This social butterfly thrives on human interaction and I am always eager to make new friends.My warm, expressive eyes reflect my affectionate nature, and my tail wags enthusiastically at the sight of anyone willing to give me attention. I am highly food-motivated. This can be an advantage in training. I can be influenced by other dogs’ temperaments, so I would be a good companion to a calm dog with a proper introduction. https://youtu.be/MEMyoAgcpt0.Despite my friendly nature, I harbour a peculiar aversion to men wearing hats. I know, kinda strange, hunh? It's a mystery to everyone, as I react with a mixture of curiosity and caution whenever I encounter someone sporting a hat. In addition, in addition, I may exhibit a sense of loyalty that makes me watchful over my loved ones.You will find me playful and entertaining. I love to play, run, and engage in various activities. Regular exercise is essential to keep me happy. I do know how to walk on leash: https://youtu.be/nFyYiib-eC4. Car rides are ever so fun:  https://youtu.be/DGT3vJ-thJENo idea how I am around kids and cats, I've never interacted with them. If you plan to adopt a dog for the first time or you are not an experienced dog owner, you should consider working with a trainer, as this bud has stayed in a boarding house for a long time and forgotten the city life manners. But here I am with a buddy:  http://https:\\youtu.be/DZ--QRmwFa0.Waiting for you to click that adopt button that gets me winging your way for loves and licks. Pverview vid: https://youtu.be/eWE2Pv0yo40. More vids processing and on the way. Energy Level: ModerateI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unknownKids: unknown Prey drive: None observed. My adopter needs to be willing to get training for me should these behaviors arise. Fears: None observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training: some leash workLeash skills: some. Please be prepared to continue training.House skills: no. Please help me learn. Health notes:I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver. Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live. Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you. While most dogs find escorting passengers flying directly to Vancouver, some will find flights through Toronto or  Montreal. In that case, additional fees will apply to fly your dog to Vancouver by cargo. Unaccompanied cargo costs within Canada range from $350 - $550 depending on the size of the dog. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs. The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs. Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website. [MID-EAST] *Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza. Bordetella is not given, as that has not been a problem in the Middle East. [TURKEY] *Dogs receive 4D SNAP tests - which include: Heartworm, Ehrlichiosis, Leishmania and Anaplasmosis. ##1913656##

Story
Greetings fine peeps. My name is BASIL (Pepper) and here's some info about me:Breed: Flat Coated RetrieverAge: 4 yearsGender: FemaleWeight: 29-1/2 kgHeight:  61 cm Loyalty and Intelligence are my hallmark traits, as you will see in a moment reading my story.Under my rescuer's care, I was then adopted by a family. Sadly, my adopted family faced many legal problems with their neighbors for owning a dog inside their apartment, ss is typical here in Lebanon. In the end, they were faced with an ultimatum; change homes or return me back to the facility. So, I was returned and have been with them now since February 2022.An interesting story about me (here's the amazing part I mentioned) is that I saved the family’s youngest son from being run over by a car! I was out on a walk with my adopted family when a car drifted by and almost hit the youngest member of my family. Luckily, I recognized the threat in time and was quick on my paws. I caught the boy by his shirt’s collar and dragged him aside, making me the family’s hero! To me, I was just doing the job a dog should be doing.I'm a clever girl, who will happily show you my obedient side. Being an affectionate pupper, you'll find me by your side ready for love, giving and getting.Since I am still a playful dog: https://youtu.be/7HKTEpiS_20, who gets along great with other dogs and who LOVES to swim, I sure hope we'll be able to include some trips to the river, lakes and/or beaches. A kiddie pool would be fun too. We can have such great adventures together... side by side, becoming bffs. Energy Level: ModerateI get along with:Dogs: YesCats: unknownKids: unknown (rescuer states yes, but no video proof) Fears: None observed.

Story
*PLEASE READ - BY APPOINTMENT ONLY*Meet Louie!Louie has had a tough start to life with a background of uncertainty and insecurity. Having lived in an outdoor pit of his own filth, he was not socialized with humans and therefore struggles with confidence and trust. Staff have been working patiently and tirelessly on developing his confidence around new people and experiences. Louie is still learning to trust people and is learning to accept pets, although he enjoys having human company, even if it is just sitting near him in the yard. Learning to seek out pets and walking on a leash is still something that will need work with patient and understanding adopters. Louie enjoys having another canine keeping him company, and is confident when he has his brother Lincoln around. Louie could go to a home with Lincoln, or another confident and patient canine friend who can help him flourish. Louie can be shy when meeting new dogs at first and will need a slow and proper introduction to make sure things go smoothly. Although having a friend would be beneficial, he may also do well in a home as the sole dog, given his adopters are able to commit time to work on gaining his trust and building a bond. Due to his nervousness and shyness with new people, it is preferred for potential adopters to meet him at least twice in shelter and establish a good enough relationship before bringing him home. As he is still quite shy, a calm and quiet home with no young children is ideal.Louie loves toys, especially squeaky toys, and can be very playful! He loves investigating new toys and dragging them around. He loves treats and can be vocal when demanding more. Each and every day he gets a little braver and his personality shines. He is a retriever after all and has that silly personality where everything should go in his mouth. Louie enjoys water and sometimes takes a dip in his outdoor pool. Since Louie has lived outdoors his whole life, he is still not quite used to living indoors. His new home would need to have a fully enclosed outdoor area for him to stay in while he adjusts to indoor life. 💙🐾Do you think you could be Louie's person? Here's how to find out:Submit an online application adopt.spca.bc.ca and staff will contact the first suitable adopter to set-up a visit! Kindly note that due to the high number of applications and the availability of walk-in adoptions an online applicant would have to be available to come in for a meet within 24 hrs.

Story
THE UNLIKELY DUO: 'Boo' the Shar Pei and 'Pickle's the Flat Coated Retriever!These two dogs found each other in the unlikeliest of places-a shelter. They formed an inseparable bond from the moment they met becoming BFF's. Pickles has had a tough start to life with a background of uncertainty and insecurity. Having lived in an outdoor pit of his own filth, he was never socialized with humans and therefore struggled with confidence and trust. Staff have been working patiently and tirelessly on developing his confidence around new people and experiences and knew he needed someone patient and understanding to help him blossom. That someone turned out to be Boo. Her playful antics and boundless energy brought joy not only to Pickles but also the staff and volunteers who witnessed their friendship unfold. Whether they were engaged in a game of chase or simply chilling together, their presence was a source of entertainment. Boo has a big, quirky personality in a small package. Boo arrived with a severe skin condition that is being managed through diet and baths and will likely need to be continued for the rest of her life. Boo is usually quite confident but in certain situations, she can get a little nervous. She knows when to seek out a quiet spot if she needs a break. Neither dog would be suitable for young children.Pickles is still learning to trust people but has been accepting and seeking out pets. Learning to walk on a leash is still something that will have to be worked on. We have been introducing a harness to him and he has shown us just how much he has progressed. Pickles loves toys, especially squeaky toys, and can be very playful! He is very silly and loves to play with his shelter bestie, Boo. Each and everyday he gets a little braver and his personality shines. He is a retriever after all and has that silly personality where everything should go in his mouth. Toys, blankets the occasional broom lol! Ideally, Pickles and Boo would be adopted together. Boo has really shown Pickles how to be a dog and that it is okay to trust people. The two of them have become very close and spend their days by each other's side. We recognize this is a big ask due to their different needs, but we think a home together would be what is best for both of them. Primary Color: Black Weight: 23.6 Age: 1yrs 0mths 0wks

Story
This cutie is Cayanne. She is currently just over a year old and we think she may be a Labrador Retriever mix, but with rescue it’s always a mystery! Cayanne lives in a foster home with a shy, 10 year old boy and is so sweet and gentle with him. She loves to give her foster family licks, kisses and gentle nudges to show her affection. Cayanne is completely trained in her kennel and sleeps all night with no problems! She is also 100% house trained and hasn’t had any accidents in the house! Her foster mom reports she is an amazing house guest! She loves to sniff her surroundings and is so easy on the leash. She enjoys daily runs and walks with her foster mom! She is bit of a digger but nothing that can’t be resolved with attention and redirection. She is a very playful girl and loves giving kisses and but shy when meeting new people. She needs to be gently introduced by letting her smell them. She is more fond of women than men but adjusts after awhile. She is still learning to fetch but loves her chew toys! Please consider giving Cayanne a loving, nurturing home. Cayanne would enjoy a nice fenced in back yard or living on some acreage where she can roam, play and run free to her hearts content! She will need a home with another doggy friend as she thrives on doggy companionship. Cayanne is young so she will need a family that can commit to training and socialization and all the stuff puppyhood comes with. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Adoption Link: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6488b469943845efb20f2e9f Questions?

Story
Dog friendly, cat friendly, kid friendly, and will do nearly a back flip to catch a tennis ball. This is a really cool dog. Sporty is by far one of the coolest dogs I’ve met because of her blend of athleticism, best friend/devoted, affectionate personality. She is always so happy and you can tell by her cute little wiggle butt . She’s a happy girl and enjoys the simple things in life. She loves swimming, yard time, couch time, errands in the car, or just hanging out with a toy while you work at home. She’s versatile. She met my 3 year old and 5 year old kids and loved them. My five-year-old thought she was the coolest dog ever because of her ability to catch a ball, no matter how bad your throw is. She makes you think you’ve thrown a strike every single time because she will catch it no matter what! She is very talented with a tennis ball. In fact, she loves it so much that she will sit or lay down or learn other tricks just for the ball, you don’t even have to use treats. Apart from her athleticism, she really does also have good manners in the home. We hung out in the kitchen and on the couch and she was just glad to be near us. She so desperately wants to please you. Watch her video here: https://youtu.be/quTjjjz66HA Sporty Spice is a gorgeous brindle shepherd mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 46 lbs and is full grown! She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Sporty is dog friendly and did great with all of the dogs we introduced her to. She would go up to meet them and then go on about her day. Sporty wasn’t overly playful with the other dogs and this can change once in a home. She prefers calmer dogs that aren’t very rowdy or vocal with their play. For the most part, Sporty simply enjoyed being outside enjoying the fresh air and watching everyone around her or you would find her soaking in the pool. She also did great during our cat test and was very avoidant of them. She was so unphased by our kitty residents that she even shared the couch with one. We do not know if she has ever lived with a cat before nor can we guarantee that things won’t change once in a home. We do believe that with slow and proper introductions she can coexist with cats. Sporty will be best placed in a home with a backyard in a calmer residential environment and with other moderately playful dogs that know when to take breaks just like she does. She is treat motivated which will make any continued trained a breeze. She is also smart too! Sporty already knows how to sit and lay down. To our knowledge, she is crate trained and potty trained but may need a reminder about where the appropriate potty places are once in a home. We are willing to test Sporty Spice with anything you need us to in order to ensure it’s the perfect match for you! We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Application link: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/65299fd5043dd45930065949 Please email: samanthar@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions or call or text kelly 979-319-1423 Available for adoption to anywhere in the US.

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 is _$700 and 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.

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!

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 dogs 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: 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.
