** Please note: Leo is not in the direct care of Happy Tails Happy Homes. His current owner will continue caring for him while he waits to find his perfect match! Interested in making Leo part of your family? Please fill out an application here:https://www.happytailshappyhomes.org/adoptionform ** Meet Leo! 🐾 Leo is a handsome Husky/Shepherd/Australian mix with a big personality, a goofy side, and lots of love to give! At 4 years old, this sweet boy is the perfect mix of adventure buddy and couch companion. He loves following his people around, going on daily walks, playing with his favorite toys, and soaking up all the attention. He’s a smart cookie who learns quickly and is always happy to bring you a toy to get the fun started. And when the adventures are over? Leo is more than happy to claim his spot on the couch! Leo does great with people and older kids and would love a home where he can be part of the daily routine. He would thrive as the only pet in the home, where he can enjoy being the center of attention. He has a strong prey drive, so a home without small animals or wildlife temptations would be ideal. He’s still working on his leash manners, so his future family should be ready to help him polish those skills. Leo is in great health! He has some anxiety that has been managed with trazodone, which he takes happily when needed. He would do best with a family that can offer him companionship, consistency, and a little extra understanding when it comes to his anxiety. Through no fault of his own, Leo is looking for a new home because his current person is facing housing and financial challenges and wants to make sure he has the happy, comfortable life he deserves. His person loves him and recognizes that Leo would benefit from a home where someone has more time to spend with him. Could you be Leo’s person? If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, clever companion who will happily join you for adventures and then snuggle up on the couch, Leo might just be your perfect match! ❤️

Who doesn’t love a fun, loving, full of life Husky that instantly puts a smile on your face because he just seems so happy all the time?! Well, say hello to Sid Smitty Truly the dog version of a human exclamation point. He has this contagious, feel-good energy about him that makes being around him so much fun. From what we’ve seen so far, Sid Smitty genuinely seems happiest when he’s included in whatever is going on. Hanging out with people? Amazing. Playing with dog friends? Best day ever. Getting attention and affection? Absolutely yes. He’s been incredibly sweet with everyone he’s met and has this way of melting right into you for love like he’s known you forever. What makes him extra special though is that he really seems to have the best of both worlds personality-wise. He can be playful, goofy, and full of silly Husky fun one minute, then perfectly content cuddling up beside you soaking in affection the next. He’s also done great around kids and overall just gives off that “life is more fun when this dog is around” kind of vibe. Watch his video and fall in love with this guy: https://youtu.be/0fXkEOavbus?si=kyyQdMDCbkOvIRgU Sid Smitty is believed to be a Husky mix approximately 1 year old and currently weighs 59 lbs. Which seems like a big number on paper and when you’re reading it. He is a big dog but he’s more legs, height and fluff than he is poundage. And as if Sid wasn’t already unique enough, this boy has one random little black spot right in the middle of his tail like someone accidentally booped him with a paintbrush and decided, “yep, perfect, leave it.” It’s such a silly little detail but somehow makes him even cuter and gives him so much character. Like his tail needed its own beauty mark or something LOL. If you watched his video then you saw his interactions around a 2 year old. Sid was honestly SO sweet with her and seemed genuinely happy just being included in all the little moments and chaos. Right away he was confidently going up to her while she was swinging a cat toy around everywhere, following her around curiously, and just happily existing in the middle of all the action. He wasn’t bothered by whining, crying noises, or unpredictable toddler energy at all. And despite being a goofy Husky boy with basically zero spatial awareness LOL, he was naturally very gentle with her. One of the sweetest moments was when they were both up on the couch together and Sid completely melted into her, like fully laid on her like a giant fluffy weighted blanket just soaking up the cuddles. It was one of those moments where everyone in the room was like “okay wait… this is ridiculously cute.” Based off what we’ve seen, he really seems to have a lot of potential to make a super fun, affectionate family dog in the right home. With other dogs, Sid has done great with all of the dogs we have introduced him to. He has been with dogs ranging in sizes (some as small as 8lbs) and personalities. From what we have seen, Sid gravitates towards playful dogs like himself the most. And when he does find a playmate, he truly shines. Consistent of games of chase, wrestling matches, and if you know shepherds, then you know they like to throw paws and love mouthy type play. In a home, he would do great with a fun, happy, confident female that likes to play, enjoys rowdy play and also a dog that appreciates the calmer hangout moments too. If you don’t have other dogs that’s fine too. We believe Sid could be just as happy being the center of your attention. Sid also met our house cat Biggie and appeared to be just as friendly with him as he is with dogs. Almost as if Biggie was another pal to play with. Biggie is very dog savvy and is comfortable around dogs and will even play with dogs he is comfortable with. We do not know if he has ever lived in a home before with a cat and this was our first time seeing him with a cat. If you have a cat in the home, we can arrange for him to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know! Yes, Sid can be a super fun, active, adventurous guy but he also has a calm side as well. He has had no problem making himself feel right at home and will lay right on top of you if you let him. Who doesn't love GSD snuggles?! He seems to already have some level of understanding that play time is an outside luxury and has good house manners. Though, he has shown that he is comfortable with couch cuddles and may attempt to sneak a snack or too off tables LOL. He hasn’t done it yet, but with his love for food and the advantage of being on the taller side. A small plate of your leftovers might be really tempting for him. Sid has enjoyed playing with toys, in particular rope toys and toys that he can play tug with. He also likes to play with balls too! In all honesty, we believe he would like playing with any kind of toy if that means you’re engaging in the play too. From what we have seen, Sid isn’t play play play 24/7. A little fun outdoors with his doggy friends or backyard play sessions with people, Sid will be prepped and ready for snuggles. Not feeling snuggly? That’s fine. He has been really good about finding a cozy spot on the floor and settling in with his favorite toy and is perfectly content doing his own thing. We are willing to test Sid Smitty with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Meet Bounty The Coconut Girl! Bounty is one of six adorable puppies from the “Sweetie” litter, a sweet-as-candy bunch named after candy bars. At just 1 month old, she’s a white, fluffy girl with black and brown spots on her back and markings down her face, and she is a sight to see. Bounty comes from a great mix. Her mama is a sweet, spunky Husky and her dad is a brindle Pit Bull Terrier mix, so she’s got a little spark and a lot of heart. She is uniquely herself, and when she plays, she’s doing her own thing. Bounty is observant and sweet, and she has a good sense of timing. She knows when to chill out and lay down for a nap, and she knows when it’s time to go initiate play with her brothers and sisters. She’s a thoughtful little girl who takes it all in and then joins the fun on her own terms. Like her littermates, Bounty is cuddly and trusting, and she’ll almost fall asleep right there in your arms. She’s growing up surrounded by her siblings, so she’s getting wonderful early socialization. A home with another playful dog could be a great fit, and a family who can give her a balance of play and the affection she loves would make her a wonderful bestie. With her Husky and Pit Bull mix, she’ll likely grow into a smart, energetic girl, so lots of playtime and exercise as she grows are suggested. Bounty is looking for a family with plenty of love, room to play, and a lap for naptime cuddles. Could that be you? Interested to learn more about Bounty?

Rory is an absolute master at reading the room. Whether you need to focus on work or veg out in front of the TV, she will happily curl up in her favorite armchair and turn into a quiet chair potato, gently snoring alongside you while you watch your favorite shows. When she needs to go potty or craves a little affection, she gently lets you know with a sweet whine and a classic puppy eyed look. Rory is fully house-trained with zero messes, a great cuddle master, and completely trustworthy even with your shoes. At night, she loves sleeping right by your bedside, and best of all, she is a sleepyhead who loves to sleep in! No middle-of-the-night bathroom alarms with this girl. Rory is also a funny dog—she will keep watch until a visitor uses their sweet voice and gives her love, at which point she completely melts into their new best friend. Rory, is a sweet, smart, and adaptable 5-year-old, 57-pound Husky/Lab mix who is ready to melt right into your family’s routine. She thrives in the home and loves her people as a loyal, affectionate companion. Rory is a superstar with people and gets glowing reviews from her foster for her gentle and patient nature around kids. She loves playing fetch with toys, even if her idea of fetch involves keeping the toy for a quick break. Her favorite yard game is a fun round of chase followed by a cozy session basking in the warm sun. She has done wonderfully with other dogs and meeting canine friends of all ages, even playing gently with a two-month-old puppy. She would do well in a home with another dog or with an owner who is her one and only. Her foster calls her a total crate rockstar because she goes right in, stays quiet, and settles easily into sleep. Rory is a quick learner who takes correction well, knows basic commands like sit and lay down, and handles new adventures like polite pet store runs like a champ. She is a loving, fun, and resilient girl who is just waiting to give her whole heart to a forever family with a yard to run in. If you are looking for a loyal buddy who is as excited for a yard game as she is for a lazy morning of snuggles, Rory is your girl.

This girl wakes up every morning ready to squeeze every last drop out of life and honestly? It’s impossible not to smile around her. Dottie Sue is the type of dog that can turn ordinary moments into fun ones without even trying. she is all wiggles, kisses, confidence, and excitement. She has the kind of personality that fills a room immediately and the type of enthusiasm that makes even the most ordinary Tuesday feel like an event. Between the goofy antics, the endless love she has for her people, and the fact that she literally throws a ball for herself when nobody else is available, Dottie is one of the most entertaining little characters we’ve met in a long time. See her care-free personality around a 2 year old here: https://youtu.be/XYmgANzT7rQ?si=P-Lr7R5a-_Avtsp4 Watch her video and prepare to immediately understand why everyone falls for her: https://youtu.be/7qEiQMhF88k?si=94n1EdPfbHj7on8H Dottie Sue is believed to be a pittie mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 33 lbs. She is the perfect combination of sweet, silly, athletic, and affectionate. She’s the type of dog that plays hard, loves hard, and fully commits to absolutely everything she does. Dottie is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. One of her foster’s favorite things about Dottie is how confident and trusting she is. New people? Awesome. New places? Sounds fun. New adventures? Count her in. She approaches life with this joyful confidence that makes her incredibly easy to bring along for the ride. She absolutely loves people and greets guests with enthusiasm, kisses, and the assumption that personal space is completely optional LOL. If you're sitting on the couch, just know Dottie considers that an invitation. Now let's talk about this girl's favorite hobby: BALLS. Not fetch. Not chasing balls. Balls in general. Dottie has somehow figured out how to entertain herself by throwing a rubber ball into the air and then chasing it around the yard like her own personal game of fetch. It is honestly one of the funniest things ever to watch. She also loves tug toys, durable chew toys, and has never met a stuffed animal she couldn't absolutely destroy. If you enjoy interactive dogs that love to play, Dottie will be right up your alley. With other dogs, Dottie is incredibly social and playful. She currently lives with another female dog and absolutely loves having a playmate around. Her play style is energetic, vocal, bouncy, and full of wrestling, zoomies, and chase games. She can sometimes get so excited about playing that she forgets not everyone wants to keep going forever LOL. Because of that, her ideal doggy match would be another confident dog that either loves to play just as much as she does or isn't afraid to politely tell her when playtime is over. Dottie responds well to dogs that communicate clearly and help keep play balanced. As far as cats go, Dottie is very curious and interested in them. She has lived around cats and takes corrections from them, but when she gets excited she sometimes mistakes their corrections as invitations to play and may chase them. Because she's a sturdy little tank with a lot of enthusiasm, we think she'd be happiest in a kitty-free home. Dottie is crate trained, potty trained, rides wonderfully in the car, and settles nicely at night in her crate. She loads into the car by herself, unloads like a pro, and is always ready for the next adventure. She walks well on leash, isn't bothered by traffic noise, and handles new situations with confidence. Whether it's a road trip, a hiking trail, a brewery patio, or a weekend camping trip, Dottie seems like the type of dog that would happily tag along. Energy-wise, Dottie is definitely not looking for a sedentary lifestyle. Her foster currently gives her multiple walks a day, yard time, and plenty of opportunities to play, and she still manages to zoom around the house making her own fun. The good news is that once she's gotten her exercise, she settles beautifully. After an afternoon nap you'll often find her rolled over belly-up requesting rubs, cuddles, and affection. She's got a wonderful off-switch once her physical and mental needs have been met. Dottie's ideal home would include a securely fenced yard, an active family, and plenty of opportunities for adventure. We think she'd do best with older kids because she's such a happy enthusiastic little girl and may accidentally knock over tiny humans in her excitement. She'd make an amazing hiking buddy, road trip companion, fetch partner, and family dog for people who appreciate a dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart. At the end of the day, Dottie is the kind of dog that makes life more fun. She's goofy, athletic, loving, entertaining, affectionate, and endlessly optimistic. If you're looking for a dog that will make you laugh daily, keep you active, and then curl up next to you for belly rubs at the end of the day, Dottie Sue might just be your perfect match. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/695c23547f8eecdf210b271c Questions?

The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.  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 or $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  * Access to multiple dog trainers in your area, along with $40 off of your first session of in person dog training through Rover Training * 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! The Greater Houston area faces one of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the U.S. We’re a nonprofit on a mission—to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs at risk, while promoting spay/neuter outreach in the community. When you adopt, you save more than one life— the one you adopted, and the space opened up to save another.  Follow our journey and stay connected! 🌐 threelittlepittiesrescue.org 📘 facebook.com/threelittlepittiesrescue 📸 instagram.com/threelittlepittiesrescue Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Meet Vito- a soulful, affectionate gentle good boy - approximately 3-4 yrs- Vito's weight is approx. 45 lbs, he is up to date with vaccinations, and is neutered and microchipped (Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella) he is affectionate, enthusiastic. ADR.org rescued this wonderful creature last minute from the Riverside shelter "death row" where he was euthanization listed due to Shyness, and full shelter situation. Before arriving on Orcas Island, WA via ground transport Vito spend 3 weeks in boarding and a trainer gave this assessment: Initially shy when first arriving and cautious around new people • Previously head-shy, especially when the leash was being put on or taken off • Has since overcome head shyness with the leash coming on and off • Responds best to a calm, confident person who moves slowly and takes his time • Warms up significantly when he observes positive interactions between his handler and another dog • Very gentle and well-mannered on leash • Enjoys being scratched on his back • Prefers minimal handling under the chin and chest area • Should be approached slowly and allowed to set the pace • Loves sniffing during walks and benefits from slow, exploratory outings I, owner of ADR.org thoroughly enjoy Vito's presence and clearly can tell that his lovely personality shines through. ADR.org would like to see him in a home with Chow-savvy adults. Not a high energy household with nobody dedicating a lot of time to him. He so longs to have "his human" around, interacting with the respective person(s). He loves his walks, or a backyard (FENCED!) but still YOU will be the most important being in his life. While he is good with respectful dogs, he is not the "mingler"- and dogs parks would not be a preferred place for him. If you are interested and think you can offer a good and dedicated forever home, please send an email to : ADR@animaldefenserescue.org and tell a bit about yourself. Add some photos. I will then send you an application and we will have a get-to-know-each-other phone call. In the course of the adoption process you must be willing to come to Orcas Island to meet your new friend and then eventually leave with him. VITO looks forward to hearing from you

LEONA was found as a stray in horribly neglected condition, missing much of her fur, and brought to the LA City shelter beginning of November. She has been estimated to be between 3-5 years old, weighs 49 lbs., and was previously spayed. ADR.org WA saved her life and since then, the rescue has provided extensive vetting with bloodwork, microchipping, and vaccinations. LEONA is a very lovely, shy girl that likes keeping to herself, but is socially tolerant, takes corrections without a problem, and has a gentle and dainty playstyle. She greets people she trusts with a tail wag. LEONA has a YouTube video in the posting (made by the trainer of the boarding facility she was after vet stay and before coming to WA) that shows her in the play yard with other dogs and, she can be seen happily running around in video. She was described by this trainer as: “Overall calm temperament, Sweet, gentle, and shy girl. Also: • Dog-friendly with both large and small dogs • Good with people, shy at first and benefits from slow introductions • Does not engage much in play; prefers to keep to herself and sniff • Comfortable with touch and handling • Nervous around loud noises • Does great on leash, still pulls into different directions at times • Handles small or enclosed spaces well (crate-trained) • Once comfortable, very affectionate • Enjoys jumping into arms, cuddling, and receiving pets” Additionally, after thorough Vet exam, and tests, LEONA was found to have dry eye issues and a condition called Keratoconjunctivitis, which is inadequate tear production, causing redness, and pain if untreated. Therefore, LEONA will need eye ointments or drops administered daily and continuously. For the time being, LEONA is part of the rescue Founder’s “gang” on Orcas Island (OI), WA. If you think LEONA would be a good friend and pet for you, please reach out via email to: ADR@animaldefenserescue.org to receive an application. Without you filling out and returning your application to ADR.org you will not be considered. Furthermore, you need to be willing to come to Orcas Island, WA Island, WA so that a meet and greet (with possible then same day adoption) can happen - and the rescue founder can meet you in real. Prior to meet and greet and the screening call you will receive more photos and videos (in the postings I can only use limited # of “visuals). Once the application has been returned, and prior to your coming we will have a phone call in which you can ask all the questions you might have and I (owner of ADR.org) will get to know you better and feel more comfortable as well that you might be the right person for dear LEONA. She so deserves a stable, knowledgeable, and caring home that is fully committed and you can offer the home she truly deserves and will thrive in. ADR.org is more than happy to help with ferry reservations, and accommodation here on OI (if necessary). LEONA looks forward to hearing from you!

Meet MOMO- a genuine character. AnimalDefense Rescue.org rescued MOMO from the Modest Shelter in CA. She was surrendered back to the shelter by the same people who had adopter her from there - they did so with the argument that she was too strong on walks and this elderly couple could not keep up with her on walks. MOMO's age was given as UNKNOWN by the CA shelter but ADR.org can say - based on CA vet check and then here in WA on arrival- that her age is adult - and the age bracket is between 3-4 years. She weights around 55lbs. Assessment from ADR.org and trainer in Modesto,CA shelter: **MOMO is a very sweet girl that is selective at first with humans she wants to interact with, and she will take time to seek affection. MOMO needs someone who understands the needs of this particular breed. Unexperienced adopters who never had a ChowChow before would not be a fair match for MOMO. ** MOMO is apprehensive when meeting new people or a new person and needs someone who understands subtle signals and allows her to decompress on her own timeline. She is a very manageable size and warms up to a new person/people who are calm and do not force affection on her too fast. **MOMO has bonded very well to me, the owner and founder of ADR.org - but she took her time and was not interested at all in me the first 2 weeks. Basic obedience and sticking to a pattern of cues i gave her showed true results and she now mentally "connects with me. The future owner will need to pick up on it, and continue to create a relationship with her and not pressure her to interact. Let her come to you. But once she "likes" you , do not be surprised to get s sudden lick out of the blue. ** MOMO can keep herself busy for some time but shall not be left alone in a backyard for a long time. She is crate trained as well. She can be very funny! The future home should be without cat(s), and preferably no children under 16. if you are interested in MOMO and think you can give her a home that satisfies her needs - reach out by emailing me The email address is ADR@animalDefensererscue.org. Send some photos of your home, or what you want to share are welcome. You will then receive an application form that you please fill out and return ASAP. After review of your application, I would like to talk to you to get to know you well- that call can be up to 60min. you can ask all questions you have. MOMO is spayed, is microchipped and up to date with vaccinations. ADR.org looks forward to hearing from you.
