Story
Xander is loving, and loyal, the very best cuddler! He loves treats and learning new things. As a middle aged dog he sleeps most of the day and is content with a short daily walk and play session. An ideal home for him is one that wants to invest in his training, has a quiet home environment and is able to be home with him most of the day. A couple important things to know about him are that he has Addison’s Disease which requires daily medication (easily given with breakfast), a monthly injection, and twice per year labs. Additionally, he is afraid of strangers and other dogs which must be understood and managed through environmental structure and training. Whatever inconvenience his needs represent he pays back in double portion of love, he bonds deeply and loves unconditionally. He is an attentive companion, ready to match your mood. He'll entertain you with hilarious antics or curl up with you and your book depending on the demands of the day.

These pups are in Portland, Oregon too!

Buddy can be your go-to best buddy! This young pup is athletic, funny, playful, friendly, and great with other dogs. He's an outgoing dog who loves to run around and play, but he's also perfectly content to relax and take it easy — especially with his favorite humans. If you're looking for a fun-loving medium-sized dog, look no further than Buddy Rich! He is built to bring joy and laughter to your life, and he'll always be up for a game of fetch or a walk in the park. Ask us about your next best Buddy today — you won't regret it! Buddy is a little over a year old and around 37 pounds. Interested in becoming this pup’s forever home? For immediate consideration, please fill out our online adoption application: http://www.friendswithfourpaws.org/adoption-form.html This is the first step in our process, and we DO NOT go any further without an application. If there are multiple dogs that you are interested in, please fill out an application for each dog. This does not include bonded pairs — for them, one application will be fine. Because we have different adoption coordinators working with different dogs, your application may be missed if you only apply once. Find more adoptable pets, news, and information on Instagram @friendswithfourpaws or our Facebook page Friends with Four Paws. We put a lot of time and energy into processing our adoptions finding our fur babies the most loving homes. Please do not apply if you are not serious about adopting. We are so excited to work with you to find you a new forever friend, and Buddy the perfect forever home, and appreciate you working with us. Our adoption fee is $525. This includes their spay/neuter surgery, full (age-appropriate) vaccinations, microchip insertion and registration, deworming, heartworm testing and prevention, flea and tick prevention, and travel expenses. All our dogs are rescued from local shelters and the general public. Each dog is then placed in a foster home where he/she is kept for quarantine, to ensure if the dog gets sick it can receive proper treatment. We have foster homes in the NJ/NY area waiting to receive their fosters. Once an animal has received an application or there's an adopter interested, we make arrangements for their transport. If a dog is already in foster care in NYC/NJ, an adopter will be put in touch with the foster home AFTER an application is being processed.

Story
**Now fostered in Truxton, NY** If you are looking for a tiny queen with a spunky personality and amazing agility skills, then look no further than our bitty friend, Bambi! We believe Bambi is a chihuahua mix who is 5 years old and approximately 25 pounds. Due to her being a rescue, age and breed cannot be guaranteed. She’s a certified Texas Special, a mix of random breeds that created the best dog! Rescue is the best breed! Watch Bambi in action in here: https://youtu.be/2_n3tL3izY8?si=2MCNVAV5GmXcfkav So one thing about Bambi is that she is QUEEN B. She likes all the love and affection to go straight to her. Belly rubs? Hers. Ear scratches? Hers. Treats? All hers! Bambi is dog friendly and loves to play! She's all about play wrestling, play chase with her dog friends around the yard, and bringing bouncy fun playful energy to the yard. Whether she's tumbling with a buddy or zooming across the grass in a bouncy game of tag you're it, she's happiest when the vibes are silly and all about that fun. Some of her best friends are confident dogs that will rough house with, body bump, wrestle to the ground, and it's so entertaining to watch. In a home, she would do best with a confident friend that loves to play, enjoys those wrestling matches, is up for a game of chase, and knows when to take play breaks on their own. So if you're searching for a pup that will satisfy your current dog's playful energy and wanting that playtime entertainment in the backyard, Bambi is definitely your gal. If you don't have other dogs, no need to worry! Bambi's love is boundless and her personality is out of this world that she will be all you need. Bambi also did great when she met some cats on the property! She wanted to sniff them and tried to initiate play, lol. If she were to be in a home with a cat, it would definitely need to be a dog savvy feline who doesn’t mind the occasional puppy sniffs! She spent few days in her temporary foster home with a kitty and she did wonderfully! She did want to play with her new feline friend, so Bambi may not be every kitties cup of tea. But she sure is ours! She is a smaller girl who would do well in an apartment or house setting. But it’s important to note that when you offer her treats, she does say “please” in a loud way. So if you are in an apartment, thicker walls or cool neighbors would be best. She hasn’t been around small children but she has been fine around teens! We believe she would do well in a home with dog savvy older children who would enjoy spending time playing fetch and other games with her! If you have a young child and are curious to know how she is, please feel free to let us know and we will check it out for you! It’s very clear that Bambi is a super smart girl! She has the potential to do so many cool things if you spend the time to try to teach her! The staff at 3lp couldn’t stop raving about how people oriented she is! We can’t forget to tell you— the other cool thing about Bambi is how quick she is at learning tricks! The behavior team here at Three Little Pitties believes that she would make an excellent dog to train for trick sports and other cool games! You will see in her video how good she is at going after toys! She is very affectionate and will look forward to couch cuddling moments with you! She has the best little smile and the most scratchable ears! She is going to make someone out there very happy! Does Bambi sound like your girl?

We have over 15,000 successful adoptions so far and have excellent Google Reviews: https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success. Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress! Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet. The rescue’s hard costs alone for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,120. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that Three Little Pitties Rescue is not government funded. 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 & $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 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! Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!

Story
Oh my goodness, is Scooter Bug not the cutest little nugget ever? He’s a pint-sized bundle of love with satellite ears that could pick up signals from space! This little guy may be small, but his heart is huge. Scooter Bug is a people-lover who just needs a minute to warm up, then he’s all about snuggles, cuddles, and being your little sidekick. Watch his video and fall in love with his cutie: https://youtu.be/bo-nTt8Ph1w?si=YHK_4MFdeDppTSDP Scooter Bug is believed to be a Wirehaired terrier mix approximately 1 year old and currently weighs 9lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Scooter Bug is a people-lover who just needs a minute to warm up, then he’s all about snuggles, cuddles, and being your little sidekick. His foster mom says that one of her favorite thing about him is the way he sleeps. She says he will sleep on your pillow, belly up, and sometimes his wittle tongue just barely sticks out LOL. That’s not the only thing she loves about him though and let’s be honest, we’re sure there is an extensive list of all the things she loves about him, because what is there not to love! She says her absolute favorite thing about him is the way he just loves to be with you. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing, where you’re going, he just wants to be included and to be loved. Scooter is the definition of a people’s dog, hands down and in all the best ways. He also makes a great work from buddy too! His foster mom says that she just puts a blanket down for him and he curls right up, or he’s snuggled in her lap or laying by her feet. He’s incredibly dog-friendly, currently thriving in a foster home with two big dogs and gets along great with them. One of his foster siblings is a 50 lb pittie mix and Scooter loves to play with him! His foster mom says that they love to wrestle with each other and Scooter even attempts to “over power” the pittie with is little body in a game of tug of war LOL. It’s quite entertaining. Scooter also does great with his other foster’s dog too who is a 80lb Great Dane mix. Safe to say that Scooter Bug is completely comfortable with dogs 3x his size and even the playful ones. The funny thing is, we think he actually prefers to be around bigger dogs rather than dogs his size. When he met a small scruffy dog his size, Scooter was not interested in being besties. They shared space with each other and Scooter was fine being around him but he just tolerated his existence LOL. Now when we brought out a bigger dog, literally 3x his size, Scooter immediately opened up and wanted to be besties with her. So if you have dogs, Scooter will like them big! Well at least way bigger than him. Scooter is also currently being fostered in a home with a cat as well and he did great when he met our house cat Biggie. His foster says that Scooter gets curious when her cats gets up to do something and follows her around. Like he's being noisy and just wants to see what she is up to. Scooter was the same way with Biggie as well. He may chase every now and then, but it's more about just following the cat to see what's going on LOL. Nothing more. Scooter was even playing with Biggie at one point too! He has the kind of easygoing personality that allows him to thrive in many living situations. He would do very well in an apartment or condo setting, especially with someone who enjoys daily walks and a relaxed routine. His well-balanced energy level and polite leash manners make him a great neighbor-friendly companion. He would also be perfectly happy in a suburban home with a backyard, where he could enjoy sniffing around, sunbathing, and lounging after his walks. While he’d appreciate outdoor access, he doesn’t rely on a yard to be fulfilled, his happiness comes from companionship, not square footage. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who bonds deeply, loves cuddles, and brings a steady, comforting presence into your life, Scooter Bug may be exactly who you’ve been waiting for. We are willing to test Scooter Bug 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?
