Story
Mochi is magic in a bottle! He’s a happy go lucky pup with a heart of gold, and he’s ready for his forever home. We believe that Mochi is a Cur, Pittie mix, but he is a rescue so these are just our best guesses! Mochi has a stunning dark brindle coat. It’s giving expensive, sleek, and stylish! Make way for Mr. Mochi man! Sweet Mochi is estimated to be around 2 years old, and he currently weighs in at a lap-sized 66 pounds. You will enjoy all of those lbs of love when he climbs into your lap for his big bear hug. And you won’t even remember that he’s not a lap dog! The first thing you’ll notice about Mochi is how incredibly people-oriented he is. He greets each and every new face with a wagging tail and a big smile. Kids are no exception for Mochi- he has lived in foster home with a young child with no issue. If your kids need a playmate, Mochi could be a perfect match! Fall in love with Mochi right here! https://youtu.be/_qy84WUR11g?si=J9O7kt13di8X_SAR Our volunteer took him for a day out and let us know how great he was out in public! Mochi is such a good boy! He did perfectly in the car, sitting like a gentleman, waiting for you to turn around at the red lights to give him a nod and a “good boy Mochi!” Mochi sometimes gets a little excited on a leash, so he would be best with someone who can handle his wiggle butts and ready to go attitude! He LOVES everyone!! We know we already told you how amazing Mochi is in the car, but we really mean it! This quality really does just aid in making him a perfect adventure buddy. He enjoys his car rides in the back seat, watching the world go by while you drive. Mochi loves to accompany his foster family on shopping trips and Starbucks runs, and while he’s out- he’s absolutely spoiled by all who meet him. He’s just so handsome, and always so happy to meet new people- usually new humans will say something like “wow, what a beautiful coat!” followed shortly by “Wow! Thank you for the kisses, Mochi!” Mochi has learned that the compliments come freely and the treats come easy for a good boy like him. If your definition of “adventure” stretches past a trip to Target, fret not- Mochi is a total outdoorsman. This guy doesn’t mind puddles, ice, snow or steep climbs. The most treacherous hike couldn’t faze him. Mochi is both confident and trusting on leash, which makes him a perfect hiking companion. He has the stamina to join you for long excursions, and the car riding skills to join you in far away lands. He’s people-oriented enough to check in from time to time, making adventuring that much safer and more enjoyable. He’s a perfect camping/hiking/adventuring companion, through and through! When you get to that scenic overlook, Mochi will “sit” on command for that perfect picture, in exchange for a treat, of course! Speaking of treats, Mochi is super food motivated! This makes further training with him enjoyable and rewarding for both of you. He already sits on command for treats and he takes them gently. He also knows how to stay, he is such a good listener! His favorite treat is beef jerky, and yes, he did ask us to include this factoid in his bio! It is very important and relevant information for his future family to know. Mochi’s foster family does include two small dogs with a medium to low energy level. Mochi is firmly in the medium energy category, with legs that could run all day and a heart that could snuggle all night. Mochi loves to play with other dogs, and does play with his foster siblings, but is respectful when the other dogs are done playing, or don’t want to play. His lower energy friends keep him balanced, and for that reason we believe he would do best in a home with medium to low energy female dogs like his foster siblings. Mochi is so people-oriented that he could also thrive as a solo dog, soaking up all of your attention for himself. Mochi is a total toy lover too. He likes to carry his toys around in his mouth, and he has been reported to do so for up to a half hour at a time. It’s impossibly adorable. He also likes to pull his toys out of his toy box, one by one, doing a little “inventory” before deciding which is best. He’s also great at catching his toys in his mouth. He’s such a talented and happy boy! I was one of the lucky people able to play tug-of-war with Mochi, and of course he won. With a boy this cute you don’t even care when you lose a great battle, because you’ve already won just by being with him!!! Precious Mochi is so loving and happy, he will surely brighten any home. We would be remiss to not mention that Mochi is a total staff favorite! He’s described as “funny and cute,” by our behavior team lead, as “so happy” by one of our K9 Coaches, and as “an incredibly special boy,” by one of our adoption coordinators. Mochi is truly such a bright and special soul, and he has so many fans and friends already, but he’s ready for his forever home. With a smile always on his face, Mochi is ready to fill your home with love and happiness. Mochi could live with other dogs, but we don’t recommend him for a home with kitties. We believe he would be happiest in a home with a yard, but considering his personality and social skills, we believe he could do well in an apartment too. Mochi could make a great family dog, we think he would be best in a home with kids 10+ Mochi is ready for the rest of his life to begin- don’t make him wait any longer, apply to adopt this sweet boy today!

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.

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!

Story
Meet Shana Grace (Gracie)! Shana Grace is an absolute doll—she has the most beautiful black and brown brindle coat, the softest puppy-dog eyes, and the cutest floppy ears that bounce when she walks! At around 4 years old, she’s ready to bring calm, love, and snuggles into her forever home. Gracie is believed to be a Lab / Plott Hound mix—but since she’s a rescue, we can’t make any promises. What we can promise is that she’s 100% adorable and 110% lovebug. See her sweet smile in her video! https://youtu.be/dlxCw5G0JmQ?feature=shared Gracie is a total couch potato princess. Her perfect day is a slow stroll in the yard, a cozy nap in a sunny spot, and then curling up right beside you for cuddles. She’s house-trained, walks nicely on a leash, and enjoys peaceful car rides where she can watch the world go by. She’s affectionate without being demanding, and she will happily give kisses to her foster sister—or to anyone she trusts. Gracie is a gentle, calm soul. She can be a little shy when meeting new dogs, but once she feels comfortable, she’s happy to relax nearby or slowly join in play on her terms. She has been around children and teenagers, and with her mellow temperament, she would likely be amazing with kids. She’s patient, gentle, and sweet, making her a perfect companion for a family who wants a calm, loving pup by their side. When it comes to cats, Gracie’s cat test was a little inconclusive because she was distracted and curious about everything else going on in the room. She did not show any signs of aggression, but until we can do a more thorough test, we just don’t know for sure. If you think Gracie might be the one for your family, reach out to us, and we can explore her cat compatibility further—she may surprise you! Gracie isn’t much into toys yet, but she’s highly treat-motivated, which makes her a wonderful learner. She’s likely to pick up new tricks quickly, especially with a patient and loving family. With her calm, low-energy personality, she’d thrive in either an apartment or a home with a yard where she can sunbathe, relax, and enjoy life at her own pace. Shana Grace truly has an “old soul” charm—she’s sweet, gentle, and endlessly loving. If you’re looking for a loyal, calm, and affectionate companion who will shower you with love, quietly join you in every part of your day, and melt your heart with her floppy-eared sweetness, Gracie is your girl. She’s ready to find her forever home and be the loving best friend you’ve been waiting for. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Meet Sweet Ponderosa (aka Pondsy)! If pure sunshine, a dash of goofiness, and a sprinkle of “goodest boy energy” had a puppy, it would be Pondsy. This handsome, almost-2-year-old Shepherd/Lab mix weighs around 50 pounds, and every single one of them is packed with love, wiggles, and joy. He’s got a soft, shiny black coat that glows in the sun and big warm brown eyes that could melt anyone on the spot. When he sees his people, get ready—his signature Pondsy Wiggle kicks in, his tail goes into overdrive, and he plops right over for belly rubs like it’s his job. Pondsy is the kind of dog who makes every day feel like an adventure. Whether he’s going on a hike, trotting beside you on a walk, or curling up in the car for a nap, he’s just happy to be included. He’s still a young pup at heart—curious, silly, and always ready for fun. He’d make an amazing hiking buddy, but he’s also a total snuggle bug who loves to chill once the adventures are over. Pretty please go watch his video here! He is seriously the kind of boy that you have to watch in action! It is impossible not to fall in love! https://youtu.be/zXPt4DbuUDs?si=NTBL7xzhBVa-t-_- This boy adores other dogs and lights up when he gets to play with them. He’d do amazing in a home with a friendly, medium-energy female dog who loves to romp and wrestle, but he’d also be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as your one and only. Either way, you’ll never have a dull moment with this sweet, goofy boy around. Pondsy has been such a trooper—he had leg surgery and worked hard in physical therapy, and he’s come out the other side stronger and happier than ever! His back leg has a bit of character to it now (it adds to his charm, really), but it doesn’t slow him down one bit. He loves to run, play, and zoom just like any other dog. He’s best suited for a home without cats (they’re way too interesting for his liking!) and without small kids, since they can be a bit overwhelming for him. Teenagers (13+) and adults, though? He adores them—he’ll bond deeply and follow you around like your biggest fan. Pondsy could even do apartment life (first floor!) if he gets enough exercise and mental stimulation, but a yard to run and play in would make him extra happy. Pondsy is truly the whole package—sweet, silly, loyal, and full of love. He’s the kind of dog who will make you laugh every single day, who greets you like you hung the moon, and who will make you feel like the luckiest person alive. If you’re looking for a wiggly, snuggly, adventure-loving best friend with a heart of gold, Ponderosa is your guy! 💛 Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
If Huey was a person he would be the captain of the track team who volunteers on the weekends at the local hospital. He is athletic and personable, a great balance, and it doesn’t hurt that he is handsome. The reality though is he is a dog, with legs made for adventure and love to share. We estimate Huey to be around 2-years-old and we suspect he may be a Labrador mix but of course because he is a rescue both of those details cannot be guaranteed. He is a great mid-size boy weighing in at 70 lbs. You surely noticed in his photos but this boy has a set of ears on him that are so expressive and ensure he doesn’t miss anything. Huey is so fortunate and has been in a loving foster home while he waits for his adoption day. This is wonderful for him and you! He gets to master all the skills needed to be the best boy and you get a dog that is home-life ready. This also gives us a front row seat to who he is at home. When you get a puppy its a cross your fingers and hope you get a good one, you never get to know if their personality is going to be the dreamy fit you hope for. That is the beauty of choosing a rescue though, you practically get a spec sheet and know if the quirks are the ones you’re okay with. With that, Huey has quirks that are common in rescue dogs and will be nothing short of just that -quirks. A confident loving person by his side, some basic structure and consistency is all any dog needs to succeed. Let’s start with all his goodness, Huey is incredibly smart, motivate, and responds well to being led with confidence. Honestly, I was impressed with how he sort of straightened up and came to life when his leash was handed to someone he is familiar with and approaches him with respect and expectation. This is a boy that thrives with boundaries! And thanks to his foster family, he does great in a crate, is house-trained, and knows how to settle indoors. My favorite detail his fosters shared about him was how much he enjoys following his people around, a bit ninja like, a quiet shadow. He doesn’t want to disturb you, just to be close to you. Now for the “tour” of Huey’s dream home- actually, it might be easier to tell you what is scratched off the list. Apartment life is not his favorite. If you watched his video, you know his love of running and playing in the backyard is too true and deep for him to ever live without a yard to let loose in. Also, apartment life means all potty breaks are on leash and he is still working on his leash skills in busy areas. Navigating hallways and sidewalks on leash multiple times a day is just not the Huey vibe. No fast-life or busy-cities for Huey. Huey has had several fosters, with different home lives and he has thrived in both despite how different they are. One was a busy family, 3 kids and the neighborhood hub for kids on the block. The other, a wonderful couple and 7 other dogs in the home, who he plays with well, shares toys, and fits right into the pack. Both of these environments would be considered “busy” but he was great! In the home with children, he built a beautiful friendship with the 8 year old, who said they were “best-friends” and all the kids praised him for being the funnest playmate with the best cuddlier. .The thing is, sometimes you can be good at something but not want that forever or always. This is where Huey is with kids, long-term living with kids is not for him. We joke that he is like the fun uncle- he will play all the games, share all the toys, roll in the grass, give 1000% to the fun- but he can do that because at the end of the visit they go home and so does he- the peaceful life. Same Huey! Same! Totally get it! Invite the kids over, Huey will be a hit, then watch him take the most glorious nap in his cozy, peaceful home. Huey currently lives with 7 other dogs, he shares toys like a dream and is a great playmate. The key to him being in a home with other dogs is best seen in how the fosters manage one small element of their schedule- meal time. A very common and understandable behavior he has shown is that he does not like other dogs to attempt to eat his food. Same Huey! Same! This behavior is called resource guarding- food being the resource- guarding being him giving a clear boundary to another dog about what he has. The simple way his foster avoids this ever being an issue in a house full of dogs is by feeding him, and the others, in their crates and not offering treats or table food to any of the dogs. If you have experience with this type of behavior you know, it is easy to manage and can just as easily be a non-issue. On the other side, a one-dog household eliminates the potential for tension over meal time. You know what works for you and if he is your one and only you won’t go without- he has plenty of personality and love to give. The biggest thing to know is we want to set him up for success in a calm, structured home with someone who gets him. If you are feeling like he may be the one for you but want some more info or feedback on whether your home is that place, be in touch, we are more than happy to discuss that, no guessing needed. This boy is smart, active, and has a thing for the great outdoors—whether it’s a mountain trail or a quick ride around town, Huey’s will be ready to tag along. Bonus- he rides well in the car, likes a good breeze, and won’t say no to a nap on the couch after any adventure, big or small. While he can be affectionate, he’s not overly needy. My favorite! Huey is why we rescue, the gratefulness, the loyalty, and the deepest love you could imagine comes with the bond you share with your rescue. Huey has a head start on being the best boy, all the potential and drive, with a lot of love to give. With his very-own forever person, y’all are headed into a really good life together.

The adoption fee is $ 900 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. 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: • 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!

Story
*Fostered in Port Angeles, WA* Fasten your seatbelts; this perfect little Jet is cleared for takeoff straight to your heart! Jet Travel is a mellow puppy who hopes to chill with his very own family soon. Jet is 6 months old and we believe he may be a Hound x Labrador Retriever mix. But like all rescue pups, his true breed makeup is a mystery and nowhere near as important as his sweet, loving nature. Watch Jet's video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa_NFtLG3Eg This smart boy has already learned to sit, lie down, and go into his kennel on command. He is very food motivated and clever, so training him is a delight! He is an absolute gentleman on a leash, never ever pulling, and he hopes you’ll let him stop and sniff along the way. A perfect mix of curiosity, thoughtfulness, and charm, Jet investigates everything and loves to explore the world around him. He takes correction beautifully; a simple “No” and he stops what he is doing. He just loves to be told he is a good boy! He eats up praise like peanut butter. Jet has been super quick at learning what things in the house are for chewing and what are not. Shoes are safe around this puppy, but bones and toys had better watch out! Raaaar. Jet has lived with teenage humans, puppies, and adult dogs. He gets along great with everyone! He loves to meet new people and get attention and pets from them. He is cautious about new situations and noises, gets courage from his loved ones, and is growing more confident every day. He takes lots of walks in his little city and courageously troops through the hustle and bustle, though he does prefer the quiet back streets and parks. He's a great hiking companion! He’s also beautifully behaved in the car – we forget he is even there. He loves to zoom around and wrestle with his foster siblings, chase pine cones and sticks in the yard, watch the neighborhood from his porch, or just chill out with everyone. This medium-low-energy boy takes lots of naps! And he is happy settling down and getting cozy with a good chew toy to work on. What he loves best is sharing the sofa with his person, leaning against them and sharing his warmth. Jet is still a baby and will need a family ready to guide him through puppyhood with: - Routine and structure - Socialization and positive experiences, so he continues to be a confident and happy pup He would just love to attend puppy classes! He is sure to be a straight-A student. Jet is a sweet boy with his boarding pass in paw. He is just waiting for his perfect family to take him on the biggest and best adventure life can offer: his forever home! This easy-going, extremely well-behaved pup will make someone very lucky.

Story
Love love love Millie May ! Oh my goodness are we all a little obsessed over her. She is quite literally the definition of gentle and that's not even an exaggeration. Everything about her is gentle. From the way she interacts with kids and other dogs, the way she walks on a leash, taking treats, the way she asks for affection, even the way her paws touch the ground as she walks....it's all gentle! Watch her video and fall in love with her: https://youtu.be/_bK8hDJfN8k?si=EPQU3lTrWblInuhP Millie May is believed to be a Lab/Great Dane mix approximately 1 year old and currently weighs 69 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Based off looks alone and those long legs of her, there’s a good chance Great Dane is mixed in there somewhere. Regardless of what her genetic makeup is, she’s the seething thing ever and she’s perfect. Millie is dog friendly and has done great meeting all of the dogs we introduce her too. She greets new dogs with a quick sniff the and then goes off and does her own thing, find a spot to lay in the grass and bask in the sun, or she’s off getting affection by the people in the yard. She has met a handful of dogs, all with different personalities and has even been with some wild younger playful dogs and was very tolerant of their youthfulness. She is not a super playful lady with other dogs, she gives off more of the laid back chill hangout type of vibes. We have seen her play every now and then. It's very out of the blue and short LOL essentially she just does these cute little paw-hoping like gestures, a little romp, and that's about it. For the most part, she's hanging out in the yard and enjoying the fresh air. She doesn't mind if dogs are playing around her having a good time, she is just the type that likes to hangout and watch. In a home, Millie would be best placed with a dog that has the same temp as her. A dog that enjoys the company of other dogs and won't be looking for a 24/7 playmate. She would also do great as your one and only too if you don't have other dogs. She does not need the company of another dog to help her feel comfortable or to fulfill her energy needs. She is a loving gal all on her own and has a perfectly balanced energy. Her dream home can look like so many different things because of how adaptable she is. Work from home and want a companion? Millie will be there all day for emotional support. Have a family with kids and wanting a companion for your tweens or teens? Sign Natasha up, she has shown nothing but gentleness. We do believe a family with older kids would be more her style. Retried and looking for a mellow easy going gal to take with you on walks around the neighborhood? Millie is already at the door patiently waiting for you. She has the potential to thrive in an apartment because of her lower energy needs and also she's a quiet lady. A leisurely walk around the park is totally fine for this gal. We do believe that she would be the HAPPIEST in a home with a backyard because of her love of the sun and rolling around in the grass. She really enjoys sunbathing, smelling all the smells, and enjoying the fresh air. At the end of the day, all Millie needs is some chin scratches, treats, and a nice cozy couch for her to cuddle up on. We are willing to test Millie May 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?

Story
Mochi is magic in a bottle! He’s a happy go lucky pup with a heart of gold, and he’s ready for his forever home. We believe that Mochi is a Cur, Pittie mix, but he is a rescue so these are just our best guesses! Mochi has a stunning dark brindle coat. It’s giving expensive, sleek, and stylish! Make way for Mr. Mochi man! Sweet Mochi is estimated to be around 2 years old, and he currently weighs in at a lap-sized 66 pounds. You will enjoy all of those lbs of love when he climbs into your lap for his big bear hug. And you won’t even remember that he’s not a lap dog! The first thing you’ll notice about Mochi is how incredibly people-oriented he is. He greets each and every new face with a wagging tail and a big smile. Kids are no exception for Mochi- he has lived in foster home with a young child with no issue. If your kids need a playmate, Mochi could be a perfect match! Fall in love with Mochi right here! https://youtu.be/_qy84WUR11g?si=J9O7kt13di8X_SAR Our volunteer took him for a day out and let us know how great he was out in public! Mochi is such a good boy! He did perfectly in the car, sitting like a gentleman, waiting for you to turn around at the red lights to give him a nod and a “good boy Mochi!” Mochi sometimes gets a little excited on a leash, so he would be best with someone who can handle his wiggle butts and ready to go attitude! He LOVES everyone!! We know we already told you how amazing Mochi is in the car, but we really mean it! This quality really does just aid in making him a perfect adventure buddy. He enjoys his car rides in the back seat, watching the world go by while you drive. Mochi loves to accompany his foster family on shopping trips and Starbucks runs, and while he’s out- he’s absolutely spoiled by all who meet him. He’s just so handsome, and always so happy to meet new people- usually new humans will say something like “wow, what a beautiful coat!” followed shortly by “Wow! Thank you for the kisses, Mochi!” Mochi has learned that the compliments come freely and the treats come easy for a good boy like him. If your definition of “adventure” stretches past a trip to Target, fret not- Mochi is a total outdoorsman. This guy doesn’t mind puddles, ice, snow or steep climbs. The most treacherous hike couldn’t faze him. Mochi is both confident and trusting on leash, which makes him a perfect hiking companion. He has the stamina to join you for long excursions, and the car riding skills to join you in far away lands. He’s people-oriented enough to check in from time to time, making adventuring that much safer and more enjoyable. He’s a perfect camping/hiking/adventuring companion, through and through! When you get to that scenic overlook, Mochi will “sit” on command for that perfect picture, in exchange for a treat, of course! Speaking of treats, Mochi is super food motivated! This makes further training with him enjoyable and rewarding for both of you. He already sits on command for treats and he takes them gently. He also knows how to stay, he is such a good listener! His favorite treat is beef jerky, and yes, he did ask us to include this factoid in his bio! It is very important and relevant information for his future family to know. Mochi’s foster family does include two small dogs with a medium to low energy level. Mochi is firmly in the medium energy category, with legs that could run all day and a heart that could snuggle all night. Mochi loves to play with other dogs, and does play with his foster siblings, but is respectful when the other dogs are done playing, or don’t want to play. His lower energy friends keep him balanced, and for that reason we believe he would do best in a home with medium to low energy female dogs like his foster siblings. Mochi is so people-oriented that he could also thrive as a solo dog, soaking up all of your attention for himself. Mochi is a total toy lover too. He likes to carry his toys around in his mouth, and he has been reported to do so for up to a half hour at a time. It’s impossibly adorable. He also likes to pull his toys out of his toy box, one by one, doing a little “inventory” before deciding which is best. He’s also great at catching his toys in his mouth. He’s such a talented and happy boy! I was one of the lucky people able to play tug-of-war with Mochi, and of course he won. With a boy this cute you don’t even care when you lose a great battle, because you’ve already won just by being with him!!! Precious Mochi is so loving and happy, he will surely brighten any home. We would be remiss to not mention that Mochi is a total staff favorite! He’s described as “funny and cute,” by our behavior team lead, as “so happy” by one of our K9 Coaches, and as “an incredibly special boy,” by one of our adoption coordinators. Mochi is truly such a bright and special soul, and he has so many fans and friends already, but he’s ready for his forever home. With a smile always on his face, Mochi is ready to fill your home with love and happiness. Mochi could live with other dogs, but we don’t recommend him for a home with kitties. We believe he would be happiest in a home with a yard, but considering his personality and social skills, we believe he could do well in an apartment too. Mochi could make a great family dog, we think he would be best in a home with kids 10+ Mochi is ready for the rest of his life to begin- don’t make him wait any longer, apply to adopt this sweet boy today!

Story
Meet Shana Grace (Gracie)! Shana Grace is an absolute doll—she has the most beautiful black and brown brindle coat, the softest puppy-dog eyes, and the cutest floppy ears that bounce when she walks! At around 4 years old, she’s ready to bring calm, love, and snuggles into her forever home. Gracie is believed to be a Lab / Plott Hound mix—but since she’s a rescue, we can’t make any promises. What we can promise is that she’s 100% adorable and 110% lovebug. See her sweet smile in her video! https://youtu.be/dlxCw5G0JmQ?feature=shared Gracie is a total couch potato princess. Her perfect day is a slow stroll in the yard, a cozy nap in a sunny spot, and then curling up right beside you for cuddles. She’s house-trained, walks nicely on a leash, and enjoys peaceful car rides where she can watch the world go by. She’s affectionate without being demanding, and she will happily give kisses to her foster sister—or to anyone she trusts. Gracie is a gentle, calm soul. She can be a little shy when meeting new dogs, but once she feels comfortable, she’s happy to relax nearby or slowly join in play on her terms. She has been around children and teenagers, and with her mellow temperament, she would likely be amazing with kids. She’s patient, gentle, and sweet, making her a perfect companion for a family who wants a calm, loving pup by their side. When it comes to cats, Gracie’s cat test was a little inconclusive because she was distracted and curious about everything else going on in the room. She did not show any signs of aggression, but until we can do a more thorough test, we just don’t know for sure. If you think Gracie might be the one for your family, reach out to us, and we can explore her cat compatibility further—she may surprise you! Gracie isn’t much into toys yet, but she’s highly treat-motivated, which makes her a wonderful learner. She’s likely to pick up new tricks quickly, especially with a patient and loving family.

Story
Meet Sweet Ponderosa (aka Pondsy)! If pure sunshine, a dash of goofiness, and a sprinkle of “goodest boy energy” had a puppy, it would be Pondsy. This handsome, almost-2-year-old Shepherd/Lab mix weighs around 50 pounds, and every single one of them is packed with love, wiggles, and joy. He’s got a soft, shiny black coat that glows in the sun and big warm brown eyes that could melt anyone on the spot. When he sees his people, get ready—his signature Pondsy Wiggle kicks in, his tail goes into overdrive, and he plops right over for belly rubs like it’s his job. Pondsy is the kind of dog who makes every day feel like an adventure. Whether he’s going on a hike, trotting beside you on a walk, or curling up in the car for a nap, he’s just happy to be included. He’s still a young pup at heart—curious, silly, and always ready for fun. He’d make an amazing hiking buddy, but he’s also a total snuggle bug who loves to chill once the adventures are over. Pretty please go watch his video here! He is seriously the kind of boy that you have to watch in action! It is impossible not to fall in love! https://youtu.be/zXPt4DbuUDs?si=NTBL7xzhBVa-t-_- This boy adores other dogs and lights up when he gets to play with them. He’d do amazing in a home with a friendly, medium-energy female dog who loves to romp and wrestle, but he’d also be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as your one and only. Either way, you’ll never have a dull moment with this sweet, goofy boy around. Pondsy has been such a trooper—he had leg surgery and worked hard in physical therapy, and he’s come out the other side stronger and happier than ever! His back leg has a bit of character to it now (it adds to his charm, really), but it doesn’t slow him down one bit. He loves to run, play, and zoom just like any other dog. He’s best suited for a home without cats (they’re way too interesting for his liking!) and without small kids, since they can be a bit overwhelming for him. Teenagers (13+) and adults, though? He adores them—he’ll bond deeply and follow you around like your biggest fan. Pondsy could even do apartment life (first floor!) if he gets enough exercise and mental stimulation, but a yard to run and play in would make him extra happy. Pondsy is truly the whole package—sweet, silly, loyal, and full of love. He’s the kind of dog who will make you laugh every single day, who greets you like you hung the moon, and who will make you feel like the luckiest person alive. If you’re looking for a wiggly, snuggly, adventure-loving best friend with a heart of gold, Ponderosa is your guy! 💛 Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Huey Loves Hugs

Labrador Retriever

Male, 2 yrs 1 mo

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
If Huey was a person he would be the captain of the track team who volunteers on the weekends at the local hospital. He is athletic and personable, a great balance, and it doesn’t hurt that he is handsome. The reality though is he is a dog, with legs made for adventure and love to share. We estimate Huey to be around 2-years-old and we suspect he may be a Labrador mix but of course because he is a rescue both of those details cannot be guaranteed. He is a great mid-size boy weighing in at 70 lbs. You surely noticed in his photos but this boy has a set of ears on him that are so expressive and ensure he doesn’t miss anything. Huey is so fortunate and has been in a loving foster home while he waits for his adoption day. This is wonderful for him and you! He gets to master all the skills needed to be the best boy and you get a dog that is home-life ready. This also gives us a front row seat to who he is at home. When you get a puppy its a cross your fingers and hope you get a good one, you never get to know if their personality is going to be the dreamy fit you hope for. That is the beauty of choosing a rescue though, you practically get a spec sheet and know if the quirks are the ones you’re okay with. With that, Huey has quirks that are common in rescue dogs and will be nothing short of just that -quirks. A confident loving person by his side, some basic structure and consistency is all any dog needs to succeed. Let’s start with all his goodness, Huey is incredibly smart, motivate, and responds well to being led with confidence. Honestly, I was impressed with how he sort of straightened up and came to life when his leash was handed to someone he is familiar with and approaches him with respect and expectation. This is a boy that thrives with boundaries! And thanks to his foster family, he does great in a crate, is house-trained, and knows how to settle indoors. My favorite detail his fosters shared about him was how much he enjoys following his people around, a bit ninja like, a quiet shadow. He doesn’t want to disturb you, just to be close to you. Now for the “tour” of Huey’s dream home- actually, it might be easier to tell you what is scratched off the list. Apartment life is not his favorite. If you watched his video, you know his love of running and playing in the backyard is too true and deep for him to ever live without a yard to let loose in. Also, apartment life means all potty breaks are on leash and he is still working on his leash skills in busy areas. Navigating hallways and sidewalks on leash multiple times a day is just not the Huey vibe. No fast-life or busy-cities for Huey. Huey has had several fosters, with different home lives and he has thrived in both despite how different they are. One was a busy family, 3 kids and the neighborhood hub for kids on the block. The other, a wonderful couple and 7 other dogs in the home, who he plays with well, shares toys, and fits right into the pack. Both of these environments would be considered “busy” but he was great! In the home with children, he built a beautiful friendship with the 8 year old, who said they were “best-friends” and all the kids praised him for being the funnest playmate with the best cuddlier. .The thing is, sometimes you can be good at something but not want that forever or always. This is where Huey is with kids, long-term living with kids is not for him. We joke that he is like the fun uncle- he will play all the games, share all the toys, roll in the grass, give 1000% to the fun- but he can do that because at the end of the visit they go home and so does he- the peaceful life. Same Huey! Same! Totally get it! Invite the kids over, Huey will be a hit, then watch him take the most glorious nap in his cozy, peaceful home. Huey currently lives with 7 other dogs, he shares toys like a dream and is a great playmate. The key to him being in a home with other dogs is best seen in how the fosters manage one small element of their schedule- meal time. A very common and understandable behavior he has shown is that he does not like other dogs to attempt to eat his food. Same Huey! Same! This behavior is called resource guarding- food being the resource- guarding being him giving a clear boundary to another dog about what he has. The simple way his foster avoids this ever being an issue in a house full of dogs is by feeding him, and the others, in their crates and not offering treats or table food to any of the dogs. If you have experience with this type of behavior you know, it is easy to manage and can just as easily be a non-issue. On the other side, a one-dog household eliminates the potential for tension over meal time. You know what works for you and if he is your one and only you won’t go without- he has plenty of personality and love to give. The biggest thing to know is we want to set him up for success in a calm, structured home with someone who gets him. If you are feeling like he may be the one for you but want some more info or feedback on whether your home is that place, be in touch, we are more than happy to discuss that, no guessing needed. This boy is smart, active, and has a thing for the great outdoors—whether it’s a mountain trail or a quick ride around town, Huey’s will be ready to tag along. Bonus- he rides well in the car, likes a good breeze, and won’t say no to a nap on the couch after any adventure, big or small. While he can be affectionate, he’s not overly needy. My favorite! Huey is why we rescue, the gratefulness, the loyalty, and the deepest love you could imagine comes with the bond you share with your rescue. Huey has a head start on being the best boy, all the potential and drive, with a lot of love to give. With his very-own forever person, y’all are headed into a really good life together.

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: • 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!

*Fostered in Port Angeles, WA* Fasten your seatbelts; this perfect little Jet is cleared for takeoff straight to your heart! Jet Travel is a mellow puppy who hopes to chill with his very own family soon. Jet is 6 months old and we believe he may be a Hound x Labrador Retriever mix. But like all rescue pups, his true breed makeup is a mystery and nowhere near as important as his sweet, loving nature. Watch Jet's video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa_NFtLG3Eg This smart boy has already learned to sit, lie down, and go into his kennel on command. He is very food motivated and clever, so training him is a delight! He is an absolute gentleman on a leash, never ever pulling, and he hopes you’ll let him stop and sniff along the way. A perfect mix of curiosity, thoughtfulness, and charm, Jet investigates everything and loves to explore the world around him. He takes correction beautifully; a simple “No” and he stops what he is doing. He just loves to be told he is a good boy! He eats up praise like peanut butter. Jet has been super quick at learning what things in the house are for chewing and what are not. Shoes are safe around this puppy, but bones and toys had better watch out! Raaaar. Jet has lived with teenage humans, puppies, and adult dogs. He gets along great with everyone! He loves to meet new people and get attention and pets from them. He is cautious about new situations and noises, gets courage from his loved ones, and is growing more confident every day. He takes lots of walks in his little city and courageously troops through the hustle and bustle, though he does prefer the quiet back streets and parks. He's a great hiking companion! He’s also beautifully behaved in the car – we forget he is even there. He loves to zoom around and wrestle with his foster siblings, chase pine cones and sticks in the yard, watch the neighborhood from his porch, or just chill out with everyone. This medium-low-energy boy takes lots of naps! And he is happy settling down and getting cozy with a good chew toy to work on. What he loves best is sharing the sofa with his person, leaning against them and sharing his warmth. Jet is still a baby and will need a family ready to guide him through puppyhood with: - Routine and structure - Socialization and positive experiences, so he continues to be a confident and happy pup He would just love to attend puppy classes! He is sure to be a straight-A student. Jet is a sweet boy with his boarding pass in paw. He is just waiting for his perfect family to take him on the biggest and best adventure life can offer: his forever home! This easy-going, extremely well-behaved pup will make someone very lucky.

Love love love Millie May ! Oh my goodness are we all a little obsessed over her. She is quite literally the definition of gentle and that's not even an exaggeration. Everything about her is gentle. From the way she interacts with kids and other dogs, the way she walks on a leash, taking treats, the way she asks for affection, even the way her paws touch the ground as she walks....it's all gentle! Watch her video and fall in love with her: https://youtu.be/_bK8hDJfN8k?si=EPQU3lTrWblInuhP Millie May is believed to be a Lab/Great Dane mix approximately 1 year old and currently weighs 69 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Based off looks alone and those long legs of her, there’s a good chance Great Dane is mixed in there somewhere. Regardless of what her genetic makeup is, she’s the seething thing ever and she’s perfect. Millie is dog friendly and has done great meeting all of the dogs we introduce her too. She greets new dogs with a quick sniff the and then goes off and does her own thing, find a spot to lay in the grass and bask in the sun, or she’s off getting affection by the people in the yard. She has met a handful of dogs, all with different personalities and has even been with some wild younger playful dogs and was very tolerant of their youthfulness. She is not a super playful lady with other dogs, she gives off more of the laid back chill hangout type of vibes. We have seen her play every now and then. It's very out of the blue and short LOL essentially she just does these cute little paw-hoping like gestures, a little romp, and that's about it. For the most part, she's hanging out in the yard and enjoying the fresh air. She doesn't mind if dogs are playing around her having a good time, she is just the type that likes to hangout and watch. In a home, Millie would be best placed with a dog that has the same temp as her. A dog that enjoys the company of other dogs and won't be looking for a 24/7 playmate. She would also do great as your one and only too if you don't have other dogs. She does not need the company of another dog to help her feel comfortable or to fulfill her energy needs. She is a loving gal all on her own and has a perfectly balanced energy. Her dream home can look like so many different things because of how adaptable she is. Work from home and want a companion? Millie will be there all day for emotional support. Have a family with kids and wanting a companion for your tweens or teens? Sign Natasha up, she has shown nothing but gentleness. We do believe a family with older kids would be more her style. Retried and looking for a mellow easy going gal to take with you on walks around the neighborhood? Millie is already at the door patiently waiting for you. She has the potential to thrive in an apartment because of her lower energy needs and also she's a quiet lady. A leisurely walk around the park is totally fine for this gal. We do believe that she would be the HAPPIEST in a home with a backyard because of her love of the sun and rolling around in the grass. She really enjoys sunbathing, smelling all the smells, and enjoying the fresh air. At the end of the day, all Millie needs is some chin scratches, treats, and a nice cozy couch for her to cuddle up on. We are willing to test Millie May 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?

Story
This cutie is Silas. He is currently 2 months old and weighs approximately 17 lbs. We think they may be a German short haired pointer/pitbull mix , but with rescue it’s a guess! What matters most is that they are adorable and are one the MOST desperate in the entire US based on statistics for where this puppy is from. Shelters in this area are having to euthanize puppies. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from us, it saves their life as well as the life of another in its place. Watch Silas playful personality here: https://youtu.be/qAXvYvegGMg?si=530nGqQCn3GwRatM Silas is playful, sweet, curious, and cuddly. He loves to play with his siblings and take lots of naps. Eat, sleep, play, repeat- such is puppy life! We pride ourselves in being able to give you good personality and behavioral information to help ensure this baby is the right fit for you. You are also welcome to do a Facetime call to meet your new baby before signing paperwork! Silas is still very young and will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. A puppy is discovering new things that shape their personalities with each passing day. Implementing routine, structure, setting boundaries, and proper socialization is key from the start. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy starting immediately when arriving at their new home, which will help with potty training, energy management, and the overall development of a well-rounded adult dog. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Raleigh

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story
** This dog is not in the direct care of HTHH - we are assisting in rehoming him from his current owner. If you are interested in him, please fill out an application at https://www.happytailshappyhomes.org/adoptionform ** 🐾 Meet Raleigh 🐾 Breed: Golden Retriever / Great Pyrenees mix Age: ~1 year Sex: Male Color: Tan Raleigh is a smart, affectionate, and highly trainable young dog who is deeply bonded to his people. In his home and with those he knows, he is sweet, obedient, and loving. He enjoys snuggling on the couch, belly rubs, and quietly entertaining himself with toys or chews—though he’s always happy to rest his head on your lap when he wants a little extra attention. Raleigh is fully house trained and even rings a bell at the door when he needs to go outside. He has excellent house manners overall and responds well to cues like “leave it.” He is comfortable being crated, settles well, and can be crated for several hours while his people are away. He is quiet when left alone and does not bark excessively. This is a dog who thrives on structure, routine, and training. Raleigh has been working consistently with a professional trainer at Puget Hound since late November and currently knows Sit, Come, Heel, Place, and Stay. He trains daily, is food-motivated, and responds very well to guidance. With continued training and management, he has shown steady progress—especially in learning how to redirect frustration appropriately by choosing toys instead of unwanted behaviors. 🐕 With Other Dogs: Raleigh does very well with other dogs and enjoys playing with dogs of all sizes. He attends dog daycare twice a week, goes to the dog park regularly, and has boarded successfully. He has not shown aggression toward other dogs and tends to be submissive if another dog becomes pushy. 👨‍👩‍👧 With People: Raleigh is protective and wary of strangers, especially when they approach or interact with his people. He will bark and can become reactive with unfamiliar individuals. Slow, structured introductions using his “Place” command have been successful, and he settles once he understands the situation. Because of this, Raleigh needs an experienced, dog-savvy home that is committed to continued training and proper management. A home without frequent visitors would be ideal. 🏡 Ideal Home: Raleigh would do best in a quiet, structured home with confident, experienced owners who understand protective or reactive behaviors and are willing to continue professional training. A securely fenced yard is a plus, as he enjoys patrolling and relaxing outdoors. He loves car rides, though busy pedestrian areas can be overstimulating for him. Raleigh is a loyal, intelligent young dog with enormous potential. With the right environment, clear boundaries, and ongoing training, he will thrive as a devoted companion to someone who understands and appreciates his protective nature. Raleigh comes with all of his medical records.

Story
~~THIS DOG IS **NOT** IN THE CARE OF THE ALTERNATIVE HUMANE SOCIETY. THIS IS A COURTESY POST. PLEASE REACH OUT TO THE OWNER DIRECTLY AT sarahmc@live.com FOR SHIO~~ Shio ("Salt" in Japanese), is a 4 year old super mutt (likely German Pointer). He weighs about 40 pounds and is up-to-date on his shots.  The good: Shio is an outstanding citizen in the house. He never goes potty inside, is crate trained, doesn't get into food/trash, and is respectful of furniture. He is obsessed with love and attention. Knows commands like sit, down, stay, leave it, spin, and jump. This guy loves exploring the outdoors, from the beach to the mountains.  Shio is great with our dog-savvy cat, but would likely need a slow introduction with a new cat. Shio does well with our dog, but he is dog reactive. Possibly with a very slow introduction, he could live with another dog. He can be very rambunctious, so a highly tolerant dog would be needed.  While Shio has been good with our 2 year old child, I would not recommend him with younger children as he can be nervous with their unpredictability.  His needs: He requires an experienced dog owner. With regular exposure and training, his dog-reactivity improves greatly. He can also be fearful of strangers and has shown protective behaviors (only at our home as he has made himself the "guard dog"), so he needs a home that has the ability to work on this with him. A fully fenced yard is also needed. He takes daily medication for anxiety and eats food designed for sensitive stomachs (Hills).  We are wanting to make the transition for Shio finding a new home as gentle as possible for him. We are willing to do multiple meet-and-greets, home visits, and slow transitions.  ##2585473##
