*AVAILABLE FOR LOCAL ADOPTION ONLY* Meet Remy! A face everyone can LOVE! Literally, it is soooo squishy and then that smile. Can you already tell we are a little bit obsessed?! Smart, potty trained, crate trained, dog friendly, INSANELY cuddly and squishy! Remy is truly a special boy!! He shares, he basks, he rolls, he strolls, he sleeps, and he snores lol Every person at the Rescue has loved this boy. He has spent many hours with staff, volunteers, and his former foster mama. He has easily made us fall in love with him. We know you will too after watching his videos and learning more about him! You can see all of this in his adoption movie! https://youtu.be/S9ytDSfe-C4 Watch his gentle play style with his foster brother here: https://youtu.be/YOjcR4K8-M0?si=xVhITLrH7OuDHNiD Watch his gentle demeanor and energy level in a home here: https://youtu.be/bgT33dkmhEg?si=M1N26X7J0feVtRRp Remy is a ladies man but enjoys his male humans too! He just needs slow introductions and time to warm up. He needs time to slowly check them out then he’ll be your BFF and instant playmate. This boy is truly a loyal king. Once he earns your trust he will be your BFF FOREVER! This big hunk of love would do best in a home with no cats. He was a little too interested in the cats at his last foster home and tried to chase them. He was only trying to incite play and looking to have some fun! He has learned to sit and stay! He loves to play fetch and his favorite toy is anything that squeaks. He has learned to potty in the same place in the yard each time at his foster moms house. He is very treat motivated so continued training should be a piece of cake! He’s such a smart boy! He doesn’t jump and has a soft mouth. Saint Remy does great on a leash and would love to accompany his new person/family on walks and hikes. He also rides well in the car. He sits, lays, or watches out the window. At times he gets up and sneaks up for a kiss. He would love a fenced in yard where he can roam and fetch a ball! Even if it’s just him tossing the ball to himself! We believe Remy would do well in a home with another dog that matches his energy but he can certainly be the center of attention and the only dog. He has lived with large males both playful and more calm. He loves to romp around and share his toys. He has always been the submissive one of the bunch. He isn’t a vocal boy so living in a condo/townhome environment would be fine as long as he receives plenty of toys and gets that much needed time to bask in the sun and daily walks (more like strolls).

Story
Meet Beth Marie – the epitome of easy love and charm! 🐾 This thick, adorable girl is a staff favorite at the rescue, and it's easy to see why. With a smile that sometimes gets her lip stuck on her teeth (adorable, right?), Beth Marie is just herself – and that's perfection! She's a toy enthusiast who can entertain herself without needing to be confined at home. Trustworthy and well-mannered, Beth Marie is a breeze to have around. She's confident, carefree, and joyful, making her the perfect companion for any family. Plus, she's potty trained, crate trained, and great with kids! Beth Marie is a social butterfly who loves people to bits. Her tail never stops wagging, especially when you talk to her. A true best friend kind of dog, she rides in the car like a human, enjoying the scenery, and behaves impeccably in public. Ultimate paradise for Beth Marie? Snuggling up on the couch with you. She's not in your face but will happily lay across your lap or snuggle up next to you. With gentle kisses and a heart full of love, she'll adore having a relationship with you. Beth Marie is also great with kids, as proven by her relaxed demeanor around a three- and five-year-old. She's content to hang out while they have a tea party or join in the fun. Here’s her personality: https://youtu.be/eKJUq5vyGaQ?si=59-mtl7r25zUuXpw Watch another video here: https://youtu.be/gFRkX0aM6XI One of Beth Marie’s most admirable qualities is her ease on the leash. Taking her for a walk is a breeze, as she gracefully glides alongside you. She's a dog-friendly gal but would thrive as your one and only pet. At about 4 years old and 70lbs, Beth Marie's beautiful green eyes and perpetual smile will capture your heart. While she loves her crate, she's also happy curling up on the couch behind all the pillows. Beth Marie is not destructive and can be left alone during the day, making her the perfect furry companion for any loving home! 🏡❤️ Application link: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/646fc5bd9f1b3a49ec0640f7 Please email Leah.Smith@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions.

Oreo is a 45 lbs sweet Oreo pie pup! WELL not only looks like one, he is just as sweet! This boy loves his human and will stick right by your side. He does great in his crate, he is so happy to see you and does a tap dance with joy, he loves all dogs and fits in well with a pack, and he makes an awesome family companion. He is an almost 3 year old rescue boy who is looking for a family to make his life complete. Oreo is good inside a home and loves the yard. He is great around other dogs both BIG and small. He currently lives with 5 other dogs, ranging from 20-55 lbs. He is a little more reserved when first meeting new dogs, but he warms up well to playful, inviting dogs. Though he can sometimes be a little timid meeting new people, he very quickly adapts. He is in a busy and fun family household with a young energetic hooman girl, a teenage boy, and a wonderful foster furmom and furdad that love him very much. He is very loyal and affectionate! He lays at your feet touching you or will cozy up on the couch if you will allow. Oreo is building confidence with each passing day. His foster family want to help him be the best pup that he can be for his adoptive family, and reassure him that he is safe and welcome to explore and learn his way around the home on his own time and terms, while balancing it all with a structured crate routine. He has done so well. The entire family is very proud of how well he has fit into their home. Oreo is very smart and obedient too. He loves to listen to his person and show off his skills. He knows the commands sit and stay. Oreo uses a gentle leader when out on walks. Don't worry we can even show you how to use one and include one in his adoption for you! Oreo's a pro at this leash too! Meet Oreo here: https://youtu.be/YRj2XuYQwj0 He loves taking long walks and he plays great with people too! When Oreo sees you he will hop around and get really excited. He almost wears a smile on his face! Oreo is crate and potty trained and uses a dog door! He doesn't mind his foster has to work a regular work day because he will just hang out and wait for her to come home. We are willing to test Oreo with anything you need us to in order to ensure it’s the perfect match for you! We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

Story
**Fostered in Hillsboro, OR and ready for meet & greets!** See more photos and videos on Instagram @PDX_Adoptables Weighing about 45 lbs and boasting a stunning blond and white coat that is the softest you’ve ever felt, Goldie is as beautiful as she is loving. This adorable and sweet 11 month old girl is ready to steal your heart with her endless devotion and irresistible charm! Goldie has the perfect energy level for a family dog. In her foster home, we work from home all day. She gets breakfast in the morning, about 15 minutes of fetch or chase in the yard, then lays at our feet for the next 2-3 hours while we work. If she gets bored, she will get up and play with her toys, or chew on a bone, all by herself. She loves to go in and out of the house as she pleases. We will often see her sunbathing outside in the grass for hours. At lunch we take her for a walk, or do a little fetch or chase in the yard. We do give her pets and kisses whenever she asks for them (about 4-5 times through the workday), but otherwise she just hangs out. We only take her on one walk a day, and sometimes not even that. She never complains, or gets destructive, or bored. After dinner, she just naps until bedtime. She’s a quiet girl who doesn’t bark, only whines a little bit here and there. Goldie recently passed her Camp Bow Wow interview and is now a doggy daycare girl. She does excellent at daycare and all the dogs and staff just love her. She is so versatile and can make either a great office buddy, or have a blast at daycare. She loves playing with the kids in the home. She did jump up on the little one at first, but she is quickly learning that it’s rude. Now she mostly just covers him in a million kisses. She’s never mouthy or nippy like most puppies. If she jumps up on you, you just say “sit” and she will immediately sit and wait for reward of pets. Goldie is incredibly smart and has a great foundation in house manners. She has never had any potty accidents in our home, she is almost always quiet in her crate, she rarely counter or table surfs and corrects very quickly and easily, and she doesn’t bark at the neighbors barky dogs. She learns incredibly fast and could really thrive doing obedience training or even agility or sniff work. She takes treats so gently that even my 4 year old can give them to her and not worry about getting nipped. And when it comes to dinner time, she will sit patiently while you put her bowl down for her. One of our favorite things about Goldie is how she does a big bunny hop and pounce when she plays fetch. It is hilarious to watch and will bring you so much laughter and joy. You can see some of that in her videos here: https://youtu.be/vijNmZax79U And here: https://youtu.be/UNcJlkFULMI A social butterfly through and through, Goldie loves nothing more than meeting new people and making friends wherever she goes. Her affectionate nature and gentle demeanor win over hearts in no time. Her social skills extend to other dogs as well, making her a great playmate and companion for a doggy sibling (but no kitties please). Though she does pull a little on leash, a gentle leader or training collar can help her stay on track as she explores the world around her. She loves going on car rides, but she does have some anxiety once it starts moving. Riding in a crate seems to really give her the sense of security she needs. Goldie is pretty versatile and could live in just about any family or home. Since she’s quiet, she could live in an apartment if there are places like a dog park where she can get out her energy, but I know she would also love a home with a yard where she can sunbathe and zoomie whenever she wants. She could live with kids, or without. She could live with other confident dogs, or as an only dog. With her impeccable house manners and affectionate, social demeanor, Goldie is the perfect companion. So what are you waiting for? Come meet Goldie today and prepare to fall head over heels in love!

🐾 **Meet Sam's and his Adventures!** 🐾 Sam is fostered with cats and does so well with them! Sam can keep himself occupied with toys, he loves them. He walks beautifully on leash with a gentle leader. He is very smart and learns new things well. He's a 65 pound ball of enthusiasm bundled into a furry, four-legged friend. This 1 year old goofy boy is the heart and soul of a fun pup. He would be great for someone wanting to teach a dog tricks. He loves to learn.

If there’s a toy involved, you can bet he’s right there, ready to pounce in some fun. His absolute favorite pastime involves toys, snacks, and, of course, plenty of pets. In playgroup, he’s the leader, charming everyone with his joyful antics. He will entertain himself with a bone or a toy too! Sam loves to play with rough his foster sibling and when they are done he lays down or will come find you for attention. He also lives with a small elderly Chi that can be spiced at times and Sam shows him respect and is gentle with him. **Social Butterfly:** Sam’s love for socializing extends beyond humans to his deep affection for fellow canines. He adores playing with other dogs but has the same affection for his people too. He will quickly steal your seat on the couch or your bed to keep it warm for you. He likes to be all in your face when you sit down but easily is redirected and will lay beside you (or on you if you allow him too). **Outdoor Enthusiast:** Dreaming of the great outdoors? Sam is your ideal companion! With his love for adventure and his lively spirit, he's made for hiking and camping. His love for exploration makes him the perfect sidekick for any outdoor escapade.

He is the essence of fun. Whether it's romping around with toys, enjoying the company of other dogs, or exploring the wilderness, Sam is sure to turn every moment into an adventure filled with joy and excitement. 🐶🎾🌲 **Ready for an adventure with Sam?** 🏞️🐾 Application link: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/653833a6ef5c8ea003048cf5 Please email stacey@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions.

My name is Sabrina. I’m approximately five years old. I am a pitbull/blue heeler mix. I am spayed, vaccinated, and micro chipped. I’ve been thriving in foster, learning lots of new things! I get along with cats and dogs with the right match and proper intros! You may have also noticed my incredible smile and adorable block head! My loves : nightly walks, playing ball, car rides, snuggling on the bed, and kisses. Not a fan of: sharing my squeaks, taking medicine or having nails trimmed but I am learning and getting more and more used to all the things . Commands I know : sit, stay, leave it, no touch, down, off, shake, and up. I’m an active girl but I also love to cuddle and will stay quiet in a crate or kennel, but I prefer the bed with a big fluffy blanket. I’m not aggressive with my food. I’m learning to share my toys. I love to be spoiled, soak up attention am a quick learner. Looking for a home of my very own one, that will have patience, and continue training me as I am eager to learn. Is that you?

HI - I'M SANDY! I'm a 6-year-old sweet & chubby snuggler girl who needs a home! I've been waiting for over a year for someone to choose me. I love to cuddle, hang out and watch TV, and go for walks, hikes, and other adventures. I do well with some dogs (I used to live in a home with a female dog), but prefer people to other dogs so I can get all of the attention. If you're looking for a snuggler, someone to share your bed and hug, I'm it! I truly am a lap dog, and I crave human attention and affection. I'm also super happy, and am just waiting for my person or people to come along. I weigh about 56 lbs. and am a little chubby, so need to go on a diet. Can you foster or adopt me?

Story
HI - I'M CLYDE, and if you're looking for a big, handsome friend, I certainly fit the bill! I am a handsome 3-year-old brindle Pit Bull Terrier in need of a home. Despite my imposing look, I am a sweetheart in disguise once I'm in your inner circle. I especially love men - and I bond quickly and intensely to my person. I'd do great with a single guy experienced with pits who wants to bond. Despite my look, I am very timid around other dogs. So what's my story? Well, I was dumped by my people -- and taken in by a rescue group so I wouldn't end up in the shelter system. I really would love a home where I'm loved and cherished and given all the affection I deserve. I will reward you 100-fold! I need an experienced owner only because I bond so strongly with my person. I also need a foster home if you aren't ready to adopt. Can you foster or adopt me? I weigh about 70 lbs.

These pups are in Portland, Oregon too!

🐾 Meet Laika! 🐾 Introducing Laika, the happiest, bounciest girl who instantly rolls over for belly rubs from anyone she meets. With her gentle and submissive nature, Laika is a joy to be around. She particularly loves playing with male dogs and truly enjoys their company! Watch her adoption video here! At about 60 pounds and estimated to be around three years old, Laika might be a boxer-pit mix, though we can't be sure. What's undeniable is her ever-wagging tail and her infectious enthusiasm for life. Laika welcomes everyone like long-lost friends, eager to share her love and get some affection. Not just friendly with people, Laika has also shown excellent manners with other pets. She's fantastic with cats—she remains cheerful and playful even when swatted a few times. When introduced to dogs, her energy knows no bounds, thriving in the company of those who match her rough and playful style. Currently fostered in Texas, Laika spends her days joyfully romping around the backyard with her four-legged foster siblings. She often gets vocal during play to show just how much fun she's having. She's intuitive with other dogs' behaviors and respectful of boundaries, making her a well-balanced playmate. Laika's cuddle sessions are just as legendary as her playtime. She's known to worm her way next to you on the couch, quickly turning into "Licka Laika" with generous kisses. If you're looking for a pup as affectionate as she is playful, Laika is the perfect match. She's also a hit with children, offering gentle kisses and showing an incredible softness around them. Though her excitement can sometimes lead to jumping, she quickly calms down with a gentle reminder. Laika would thrive in a home that matches her energy and affection. She would love a canine companion to play with and would benefit from continued training, especially on the leash, where her curiosity and strength can be a handful. Whether you have a house with a yard or a spacious apartment, if you're active and can provide the interaction she craves, Laika will fit right in. Ready to add a dose of joy to your life with a dog who's all about love and fun?

Oh my heck this boy!! Xander Lane will for sure keep you on you toes in the absolute best way. He is goofy, loving, full of personality, and will always keep you entertained and laughing. He's the type of dog that doesn't even necessarily need to be doing anything, just existing and he'll still make you smile with the cute little expressions he makes. One of my favorite things about him is how happy he is all the time and of course the way his tongue peeps out of his mouth. He instantly makes us smile and we know he'll make you smile too. Watch his video here: https://youtu.be/MG2VrOkorno?si=lfTSvRujHmhikXsz Xander Lane is a pittie mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 46 lbs and is full grown. He is the perfect fun size, not too big and not too small. He is exceptionally dog friendly and loves to make doggy friends. He is best friends with an 80 lb male that is just as goofy as he is and they love playing together. He also met a massive cane corse who is triple he size and he wasn't intimated by him or anything. All he wanted to do was play with him and Xander even took a correction from the big guy for playing too rough and did beautiful with the correction. Xander would love to be adopted out to a family that has another dog that he can play with and romp around in the back yard with. He also would do best in a home with a backyard. He loves to be outside, rolling around in the grass and just living his good ole doggy best life. Xander is medium energy that will require exercise and mental stimulation. He's not a marathon runner nor will he require that much exercise but a good romp in the yard, short run in the neighborhood, and I'm sure would also make a great adventure companion in the mountains. He will need to polish his leash skill and learn some basic obedience manners but he is treat motivated and eager to please. Which will help make any additional training that much more enjoyable. To our knowledge, he is crate trained and potty trained but may need a reminder about where the appropriate potty places are once in his forever home. We are willing to test Xander Lane with anything you need us to in order to ensure it’s the perfect match for you! We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

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. The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is one of 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 choice but to euthanize animals for space. We prepare them for adoption by properly vetting and providing individualized care through our incredible behavior program that consists of socialization and leash training for all animals that enter our adoption program, prior to matching them with loving families who will treasure them for the rest of their lives. They are rescue dogs and will require continued training efforts once adopted, but will be well on their way to being the best dogs that they can be! Three Little Pitties Rescue just celebrated our 5 year anniversary! Over the course of this time, we have been very fortunate for so much growth, allowing us to further connect with the community and save many lives. Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 11,000 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 brought into our rescue program. Together, we can be heroes.
