Story
Currently fostered on Camano Island in Washington and ready to bring some laid back joy to your home is Marty!
Watch his video here!
https://youtu.be/MnArXUKNRMc?si=VteCKAfGdYhfuTDv
Marty is an almost 2 year old miniature poodle mix, and weighs around 20 pounds. He is good with dogs of all sizes, cats, and respectful children. Due to his size, we recommend children 8 and up.
Marty is described as sweet, chill, and well mannered! He follows his foster mom around everywhere, and loves short bursts of play with his canine foster sibling. Marty has lived with cats before and loves them! He may want to play with cats though, so he would do best with dog savvy kitties. Marty also enjoys kids! Especially when they are respectful and kind. Marty has lived with all kinds of dogs from 20 pound terriers to 100+ pound great danes and does well with everyone! He enjoys short bursts of play, followed by lots of relaxation, so another low-moderatley playful dog would be best for him. He would do great as an only dog as well!
Marty walks really well on leash! See the video for Marty in action! He is also fully house trained and has not had any accidents. He was also previously trained to use a doggy door, but his foster mom doesn't have one and he has done great.
Car rides....Marty is not the biggest fan. However, he will load up and is a decent co-pilot for those necessary outings.
Marty would love a home with a fenced in yard where he can sunbathe to his heart's content. He can be a bit vocal at times so we recommend no apartments or condos.
In summary, Marty is the cutest little scruff looking for a easy going family who will like to take him for walks, play, and snuggle on the couch. He is pretty low maintenance and will be the perfect little homebody companion for a variety of families!

*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?
While this dog is already in Washington, the stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area where he came from 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:
• A free private online dog training session with GoodPup plus low pricing for future sessions.
• One free bonus toy in every BarkBox when signing up for their Super Chewer subscription plan
• 25% 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 6 year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 14,000 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.
