Meet Rango! Rango is a sweet boy full of love and loyalty. He is a great puppy who has been soaking up his training! He is potty trained and is learning his manners too. He is fostering with a dog trainer (win-win!) in Salem, Oregon. He is doing so well, taking it all in, and he would make a great sidekick for someone looking for a smart dog with a positive and pleasant attitude. He is incredibly shiny, soft, and has a big heart and a wonderful endearing attitude. Rango likes other dogs, might not be great with cats or teeny tiny dogs (they are a little too exciting for him), and he loves people too. RANGO is around 7 months old, 28 lbs, neutered, and vaccinated. We are thinking he may grow to be about 45 lbs. If you are interested in this great little dude, reach out to colleen@startrescue.org or 804-651-6442 (cell).

**Now fostered in Marysville, WA** That sweet, squishable face belongs to Curly, a calm, loving, easy-going little big guy with a huge heart and the cutest curly tail. So lovey, people friendly, good with dogs and cats, a great companion dog!! Curly enjoys a good trip to the pet store to pick out a new bone, and maybe you guys can hit up the neighborhood park after. He’s go with the flow, and you can tell he is so happy to be rescued. His appreciation for life is such a blessing to see, and I just know life with him would be a dream come true. He’s a rescue favorite, and it’s for soooo many reasons. Curly is around 1.5 years old, and we suspect him to be a hound mix of some sort. He has a looooong body, short legs with feet that splay out and the cutest underbite with yellow golden eyes. Curly weighs in around 75 pounds right now, tiny but beefy with his short little legs! A “small” big dog, the perfect size for couch snuggles. I prefer to call him a large weenie dog! Watch Curly in action here: Curly is a charmer to his core, he’s so so loving and people-friendly, he has the cutest little underbite and he’s so engaging with humans. Curly opens up quickly with new humans, he will ask just about anyone for belly rubs. I just know that it will be “love at first sight” for him the moment he meets his forever family. He’s super affectionate, but not overly pushy about it, and doesn’t jump up for pets. He’s such a good boy! Curly has made friends with kids aged 3-13. Kids absolutely adore curly, and he has a very welcoming nature. He loves a good snuggle, a good kiss. He’s gentle, sweet and patient with all of them! See Curly interact with kids for yourself in his video. Curly did well meeting other dogs here at the rescue, and currently lives in a foster home with multiple other dogs. He gets along well with all that he meets, and he’s loving and sweet with other dogs. Curly is all about sweet puppy kisses, and going with the flow. Curly plays with his foster doggy-sister every day and would likely do well in a home with another moderately playful dog to keep him company. Here at the rescue, Curly was cat tested by our behavior team. He did really well meeting our house cat Tom, he was unfazed by him and quickly shifted his focus back to his people. Our behavior team recommends Curly for a home with dog-savvy cats! Curly does well in the car if its one he can climb into. He has great house manners, and doesn’t have accidents indoors in his foster home. Curly is easy on leash and enjoys short walks in the park. He will occasionally stop in the middle of the track and flop over for belly rubs from strangers. Curly would love a couch to curl up on. This sweet boy will make such a wonderful companion, he’s an easy-going boy, and sooo loving. Curly will bring so much joy into your life. We are willing to test him with anything you need us to in order to ensure he’s the perfect match for you! We can make most anything happen- just let us know. With any specific questions, please reach out to his adoption coordinator, whose email is linked below.

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.
