Benji is a sweet little guy with a gentle soul. He can be a bit shy when meeting new people, but with a little patience, his loving personality quickly shines through. Before coming to the rescue, Benji lived life outdoors and had some hair loss, but now he’s on the mend—his scruffy coat is growing back in, and it just adds to his charm! He’s currently learning all the good stuff about being a spoiled house pup, like walking on a leash and discovering how amazing beds and toys can be. If you have a soft spot for scruffy, adorable boys and a heart for helping a pup continue to blossom, Benji is ready to find his forever home and be your loyal little companion Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $600 (includes transport to your area)

Hoobie Shoobie looks like someone took a tiny low-rider dachshund body, added little terrier legs, sprinkled on the most ridiculous golden wirehaired locks, and said, “perfect, no notes.” This little guy is seriously SO cute it almost feels unfair. He has that long body, short little legs, scruffy golden hair, and the kind of sweet shy face that makes you immediately want to scoop him up and tell him he is the handsomest little gentleman in the world. And once Hoobie decides he can trust you? Oh it’s over. He turns into a cuddly little lap donut, rolls over for belly rubs, sticks one front paw straight up in the air like he’s politely requesting affection, and suddenly your heart belongs to a scruffy little prince. Watch his video and prepare to fall in love with this tiny golden low-rider: https://youtu.be/1VVc0nqRnxc?si=BjlMt8qAj8QAAdEQ Hoobie Shoobie is believed to be a Wirehaired Terrier/Dachshund mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 17 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. What we can say is that whatever genetic combo created this boy absolutely nailed it because he has the best of everything. The long dachshund body, the little legs, the gorgeous golden wirehaired coat, and the sweetest little personality tucked underneath all that scruff. Hoobie is a very sweet and cuddly little guy once he gets comfortable. He can be a shy guy at first with new people and in new environments, so he will need a little time to acclimate and realize he’s safe. But once he loves you, he LOVES you. He’ll crawl into your lap, curl up into his little donut shape, roll over for belly rubs, and happily soak up all the affection you’re willing to give him. He is quiet, gentle, affectionate, and just has such a happy little homebody personality once he opens up. With other dogs, Hoobie has done really well and has been around dogs his size as well as dogs three times his size. When he first arrived in his foster home, it took him about a day to get to know the other dogs, and before long he was snuggling with his foster and her husband right alongside the rest of the pack like he had always been part of the family. Hoobie shares affection well and has also done fine with toys around other dogs. He hasn’t been super interested in the toys himself, but had no issue with other dogs grabbing toys right in front of him. He does like to play with other dogs too, but he’s not the type that wants to play 24/7. We think he would do amazing in a home with another medium-energy dog that enjoys a little playtime but also knows how to relax and hang out. He has also met our house cat Biggie and met him appropriately and was very respectful around him. He did not chase Biggie, nor was he bothered by Biggie jumping or doing what cats do. Biggie also seemed to feel comfortable around him as well. 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 Hoobie to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know! Hoobie has a sweet playful puppy side, but overall he is a really easy little guy. He has been known to be left free roaming unattended with no issues and also does well in his crate when his foster is gone at work all day, and he does great. He is also potty trained but may need a reminder about where the appropriate potty places are once he arrives at his forever home. Hoobie is a quiet small dog overall. He may bark when someone comes near the fence or approaches the house, but then he stops and goes back to being his good little self. His foster says he is just a really good boy, and honestly that feels like the perfect way to describe him. Hoobie likes cheese, enjoys affection, and does not need some intense exercise routine to be happy. He walks well on leash, but he is not asking for long hikes or marathon walks. This boy would be totally happy going outside to do his business, sniff around, sunbathe for a bit, and then head right back inside to resume his regularly scheduled cozy life LOL. He can have little bursts of playful energy, but “happy homebody” is much more his vibe than “social butterfly outing dog.” Hoobie could do well in an apartment as long as it’s not right in the heart of a busy city with constant noise and chaos. He would also absolutely thrive in a home with a backyard where he can lounge in the sun, smell all the smells, and quietly keep his person company. We can totally see him being the perfect little companion for someone who likes to garden, porch sit, drink coffee outside, or just wants a sweet scruffy buddy nearby while they go about their day. At the end of the day, Hoobie is one of those dogs that may need a minute to show you his whole heart, but once he does, he is so worth it. He is sweet, cuddly, quiet, adorable, and just the perfect little golden low-rider for someone looking for a gentle companion with a playful side and a whole lot of love to give. We are willing to test Hoobie Shoobie with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

If you’re looking for a tiny dog with a big love for people, Lilly is already practicing her happy dance for you. She doesn’t just like humans… She absolutely adores them. Lilly meets people like she waited her whole life for new best friends. She jumps up gently for affection, rolls onto her back for belly rubs, and pops right back up just to ask for more. She is bubbly, loving, and thrives on attention in the sweetest way. If there’s a person nearby, Lilly is making sure she gets her hello in. You have to watch her adoption video to see just how joyful and people focused she is! https://youtu.be/ZqT8F2L5pUg Lilly is the ultimate people lover. She’s the kind of dog who wants to be where you are. She leans into affection, melts during touch, and happily soaks up every bit of love you give her. She’s affectionate without being overwhelming, and her gentle little hops for attention are completely heart melting. We believe Lilly may be a soft, fluffy little German Shepherd mix but as with any rescue, that’s always our best guess. What we know for sure is that she’s 34 pounds of pure sweetness wrapped up in one adorable, compact package. She has that shepherd sparkle and loyal heart, just in a smaller, easier to handle size. At 34 lbs, she’s sturdy enough for adventures but petite enough to manage with ease. She walks nicely overall and may just need a little leash polishing nothing her smart, eager to please self can’t handle. Lilly greets other dogs politely and appropriately. A true friend to all, she is comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes. She has a wonderful temperament that allows her to thrive. Lilly would do best with a medium to low energy dog who will give her space as she settles in. She is also perfectly happy to thrive as your one and only dog. This sweet cutie patootie girl is officially ready to find her forever home! Is Lilly a fan of feline friends? Well, she is terrified of them. Maybe she has never met a cat, maybe she met a mean one that made an impression- either way Lilly would like to pass on cats. Lilly could thrive in either a home with a yard or an apartment. She’s small, adaptable, and easy to walk. She would make a wonderful family dog and would especially shine in a home that includes her in daily life, outings, and adventures. Anywhere there are people to love, Lilly will fit right in. She’s a social butterfly who never meets a stranger, and she’s looking for a forever family to shower with infinite tail wags. If you have a pocket full of treats, you’ll have a best friend for life! Lilly is so ready to settle into your heart and start your grand adventure together. If you’re ready for a tiny best friend who will greet you like you’re the most important person in the world… Lilly is waiting.

*Currently fostered in Portland, OR Meet Castiel! Castiel is currently a year old, and we think he may be a wire hair terrier and chihuahua mix, but with rescue it’s always a guess! This puppy is from a part of the US where puppies are regularly euthanized. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from this rescue, it saves their life AND it also allows us to save the life of another in its place. Castiel is a joyful boy with a wiry coat, probably moderate to low shedder, and he’s young so he has spunky energy. He likes toys and playing with kids! He tries to instigate play and engagement. Castile is so unique and beautiful! Everywhere we take him, people talk about how unique he is! Castiel is a Good little guy! He played with Jessica - another small playful dog- and he is not too pushy with his play, for a puppy. He played chase for a little bit and would come back up to me to sit next to my feet. Once he got tired he would lay down in front of me and relax taking all the affection he could get. He is a puppy so he will need some training as he gets older, but he will learn quickly because he is very much a people pleaser. When he met my kids ages 4 and 7, he was joyful and wanted to engage with them. He’s very trusting and outgoing. He does like toys and wants to initiate play. He met a cat with us and was uninterested. Watch Castiel's video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA8uxj60QXw Castiel is currently in a loving foster home and loves to play and take lots of naps! Castiel is a special boy who doesn't let anything slow him down. He is hearing impaired but is still fully capable of jumping up on the couch for a romp and a snuggle. He is not shy and adores other dogs and wants to be everyone's friend. Castiel is a one of a kind guy! It’s not everyday you get the chance to adopt a blue eyed wonderboy! If you are looking for a friend to spend your days with, Castiel is your guy! Castiel is still young so he will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. Castiel’s new family will need to continue with potty and crate training and daily exercise. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy. When old enough, they will be perfect to go on walks and hikes or show off around your neighborhood. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Application link: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6847277be1ba93663e02dcd5 Please email emilyparsons@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions. Available for adoption in NV, MT, CO,UT, ID, OR, WA, Canada, and now the East Coast! Our PNW dogs are brought to you in style by a beautiful USDA licensed semi-truck, equipped with air conditioning for comfort, two drivers, and 2 onboard attendants providing 24 hour care. Our East Coast route will travel in a private, air conditioned 3LP-run van transport. Pick up day is unforgettable! You will get to follow along on their journey through a private FB Event page, where you will see photos, have the opportunity to connect with other adopters, and receive updates and constant communication along the way. One of our Adoption Coordinators can help to find the closest transport pick up location to you! The adoption fee is $1000.00 and includes all vetting as recommended by our doctor: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine (if old enough), multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, 2 months of heartworm preventative, 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 or the NE 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 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!

Meet Martin, an adult (approx. 5 years old) neutered male Wire Terrier mix, weighing about 10 lbs!  Martin is currently in TN and is expected to arrive in CT on 5/30. We are accepting applications on him now! He will be required to attend our adoption event in Dayville, CT on 6/14. From Martin's TN foster: "Martin was pretty frightened initially. It takes him a little time to warm up and trust new people but given a little space and time, he is great when he comes around! He might be younger than 5 yrs old. He and Nester lived together and are currently fostered together." Martin is medically up to date, housebroken, and crate trained. We recommend kids older than 10 years old. Apply to meet this special pup today! Click HERE for Adoption Application: pawsrescueleague.org/adopt Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable. As a small rescue that does not receive government funding or grants, we rely on adoption fees to stay afloat. Adoption fees help cover the following: vaccinations, wellness exams, heartworm/4DX testing, parasite prevention, spay/neuter (age-appropriate), microchipping, transport expenses, and other rescue-related overhead/administrative costs. Paws Rescue League, Inc is an all-inclusive rescue that does NOT only rescue puppies and young, healthy dogs.  We make a point to also rescue seniors, dogs with special needs, moms, and other “less desirable” dogs, knowing that we will likely incur higher veterinary expenses and that these dogs may take longer to get adopted.  As such, an individual adoption fee is not only reimbursing PRL for expenses directly related to that dog, but it is also helping us to continue our mission of taking in dogs that would otherwise be too much of a financial burden to save. We believe that ALL dogs deserve a second chance. Thank you for your support and understanding! ##2739547##
