Story
Meet Twila! Twila is a sweet 4-month-old pup from St. Croix in the USVI, weighing in at about 15 pounds, and she’s ready to wiggle her way into your heart. We think she may be a Pittie–Ridgeback mix, but whatever she is, she’s 100% adorable. Her nickname is “Wiggles” because she can’t help but shimmy with joy whenever she’s picked up. Twila is wonderful with other dogs and is already kennel-trained. Like any young puppy, she’s still working on perfecting her potty training, but she’s making great progress. She’s a quiet girl who rarely barks and sticks to chewing only her toys and bones. At the end of the day, Twila really just wants cuddles, attention, and a family to love. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion, Twila might be your perfect match. This is a courtesy post, please reach out to Shaunna at 503-901-9577 to meet this sweet girl!

Hi, I’m Wyatt! Are you looking for a silly, sweet, and affectionate buddy? Well, look no further—I might just be your perfect match! I’m a young, fun-loving guy with a great personality.

I’ve got just the right amount of energy to keep things fun but also know how to chill. I’m about 12 months old and weigh around 67 lbs. Right now, I’m hanging out in the Portland, Oregon area, waiting for my forever family to find me. Could that be you?

Story
If you are ready to have a companion that gets so excited when you walk in the door that she simply can’t stand it, you just have to meet Tootsie. When her people get home, she instantly turns into the happiest wiggle monster. She has such a big heart and that is our favorite thing about her! She makes everyone feel so special with her ecstatic welcome! Her color, her fur, the way she plays… she simply is The Happiest-Hippo. Take a look at her in action, mid-way through this video you will get to see her get a burst of the cutest zoomies! https://youtu.be/yW3WylrDW-U?si=BzmPhHcCT9neDh_9 I like to call her Toots, like “how you doin’ Toots?” She’s a dame, it feels respectful somehow and because we estimate her to be about 7 years old, she deserves the respect. She is likely a pittie/staffie mix of some sort but the truth is, both her age and breed are not something we can guarantee given she is a rescue. If she could, I am positive she would tell you she isn’t a day older than 3, followed by a perfect wink. Tootsie weighs 71 lbs, fully-grown so she is a large dog, a favorite for the best snuggles. What I love about her is that she has mature dog presence with the get-up-and-go of a 2 year old dog. It doesn’t take much for her to be ready to lay around either, so if you are looking for a house dog more than a fitness buddy, this is your girl! When it comes to going on adventures or outings, all you gotta do is say the word, grab the leash, and Toots is at the door with her social butterfly adventure cap on. She also loves to go on car rides and has earned the distinguished title of "perfect passenger princess." Toots likes riding with her head out the window for maximum sniffing and feeling that fresh air hit her cute squishy face. She really loves going on leisurely walks at the park and enjoys every second of it. She's never in a rush to get back home or go to the next place. She does great walking past kids, joggers, other dogs, and even the splash pad with all the action going on there with ease. Toots treats her walks like she's on her own personal sniffari LOL. She loves getting compliments from all of the from people at the park, soaking up all of the attention of course. Need to stop by your local coffee shop or even dog friendly thrift store to browse around, she's a dream even in places like that and is deemed a polite shopper. Toots also enjoys going to pet stores too and especially if you let her go where all the fish are so she can sit and watch them It's pretty cute the way she gets so mesmerized by the way the swim around. Be prepared for all of the workers to be fawning over her, giving her kisses and hugs. Oh, and treats of course. She also really likes watching the guinea pigs too! LOL she's just a curious happy hippo. After a full day (or even half day) of adventures, Toots is going to be soooo sleepy. She'll give you night night kisses, and then sprawl out in the back seat for her nap. Can you picture life with tootsie yet? Because I can— and it seems fabulous. My heart can’t take it!! Toots has a few non-negotiables she is looking for in forever home- booty scratches and treats. This is the fast-track to her heart. Offer her a treat and she will show off her perfect sit, followed by a gentle shake. Such a lady. But if you hold a treat too long after she knows she is due one you will hear her voice. She isn’t loud, just chatty, a little grumbly rumble mixed with a small bark. Truth is she uses that voice to make a connection with her people, and we love her little woowoos. When it comes to defining her ideal home, this voice of hers means she needs a house. Apartment life with its shared walls is no place for a girl like Toots. Plus, she needs a little yard for those zoomie sessions. Toots is great with kids, unbothered by the noise and bounciness of a 4 year old. She was calm, polite and gave him gentle kisses…then sneakily and so cutely, walked off with a stuffie toy he had. She loves toys as much as little kids do, and we all know littles leave a trail of toys around the house, so a home with older kids would be best for her. No trail of toys to sneak off with and no tears from a mistaken toy moment. Perfect! Tootsie is very people friendly and will pull a bit on-leash if she sees someone she loves. Other than that, this girl has some good leash manners, she’s just full of love! When introduced to a new dog on leash she was polite and indifferent. Once she realized she was meeting a new playmate it was a different story- she got her doggie greeting sniffs out of the way and immediately wanted to play. She showed off for him a bit with an amazing zoom session and then they were off to play. Her play style is what we call rough and rowdy, it is all in good fun but is a detail that is important when matching her with a doggie companion. Not all dogs enjoy that style of play and although she enjoys a round of chase, her ideal match would be a medium energy, playful male, who loves physical play and also appreciates those calmer moments as well. Toots would also be just as happy being the center of your world too and does not need another dog in the home to keep her company or help her feel comfortable to fully be her goofy loving self. She is naturally a love bug and a social butterfly. No kitties for Tootsie, she is a little too interested in them. If a mature happy-hippo of your own is what you are looking for, this is your girl! Big love and big snuggles guaranteed! Apply today! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/673943173a4b7daee0088ba5 Questions? Email kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org **Cannot be adopted to WA or ME** We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA  or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey! You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!  The adoption fee is $825 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectible, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship!  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 (excluding transport) 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 $1,368. 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 adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. 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!

Story
Meet Sweetums from the Muppet litter! She is currently 4 months old, about 25 lbs, and we think she may be a Pit Bull / Lab mix, but with rescue it’s always a guess! Sweetums is pure energy wrapped in a sweet, snuggly package. She loves to run full speed around the playpen, chasing toys, zooming past her siblings, and showing off her unstoppable puppy zest. When it’s time to settle down, though, Sweetums is all about cuddles— she loves to be held and will happily curl up in your lap for some well-earned pets and belly rubs. One of her favorite games? Snagging a bully stick and sprinting around the room like she’s the star of a puppy parade, with all of her siblings hot on her tail. Watching her playfully dash, dart, and hide with her bully stick - it’s impossible not to fall in love with her. Watch Sweeteum's video here: https://youtu.be/wDLDlLoxR_s?si=22WqTOevHgZ642aP Sweetums is such a water lover too! She is currently learning to swim in her foster home and just fell in love with the water. She’s always down to try anything! This girl is totally smart and crazy sweet according to her foster fam! She is fully potty trained and crate trained. She sleeps in her crate at night with no issues! Sweetums has already mastered sitting on command. She currently is fostered with other older dogs that don’t mind giving her a correction, so she has learned the dos and donts of doggy life. She will be a wonderful companion to her new future siblings and her forever family! She has regular play dates with other doggies here at 3LP too. She loves playing with basically every dog that is willing. What a social butterfly! Sweetums is still young so she will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. Her 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. If you want a lively, loving companion who keeps playtime exciting and affection plenty, Sweetums is ready to fill your days with fun and puppy love. Application link: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/67efebef8addf84bb108ef2b Please email tim@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 $900.00 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 Mickey your new best buddy! Unfortunately Mickey needs a new home due to my declining health. Mickey is a 2 year old pitbull / German shepherd mix that weighs about 70 pounds. He's crate trained, microchiped, and current on all his vaccines. He doesn't live with kids but there are kids at the house often who he does ok with. He can be too energetic for them. He does live with a smaller dog and a larger dog of which he does fine with. He likes to be in charge so other dogs would have to be pretty submissive. He can be very protective but has never had any incidents with dogs or people. He is so sweet and his purpose in life is just to be loved and be with his people. He loves to run and play in his yard. He would really enjoy walks but needs leash training. He loves watching other animals on TV! He does not get on the furniture but loves his beds and crate. Mickey does have some food allergies but does fine on a grain-free salmon dog food. He will come with his crate.

Story
Meet Luna, a playful and affectionate 4-year-old Pit Bowl, Corgi, German Shepherd mix seeking her forever home. My husband and I temporarily rescued her from a homeless woman in January. Luna does not like being alone and looking for someone/family that is not away from the house full time. This loyal and active dog also serves as a good alert dog. She's leash-trained and enjoys walks/runs but her true passion is playing fetch, making her ideal for an active owner who can provide at least one hour of daily exercise. If you are a runner, she would love to go with you! Her ball obsession and impressive leaps make playtime pure entertainment. While fairly easy to care for Luna, her exercise needs are paramount. As current caretakers who work full time and already have two golden retrievers that need our attention we're seeking the perfect match for Luna, even though we would love to keep her. We love her deeply and that love wants the best for her.

These pups are in Portland, Oregon too!

Story
7.5 months old, adopted her at 3 months. Found abandoned in a park, brought to a neighbor, who put her up on NextDoor and five hours later she came home with me! She is the sweetest, silliest, FUNNIEST girl -- probably 5 of 7 days a week, I end up with either my face or abs sore from laughing. She needs new people because she has turned out to be a high-energy girl. Based on her appearance and vibe, neighbor lady and I were thinking pitty/labby. I've had both and known several others well, but it soon became clear that we were working with something else. Cue the DNA test: 42% boxer, 38% pit, 13% Staffy, 7% supermutt. I am now having a significant and debilitating health issue, single/live alone, and am just not able to give her as much exercise and interaction as she needs. We have given it our all, she's just not happy, and it breaks my heart. She needs 2+ people -- solo person having sick/off days really affects her. She will absolutely THRIVE with more people/activity.

Story
**Please note this is pet is currently out of town pet but we will transport this pet to OR for you when adopted. All fees listed include transport fees.** In an unfair turn of events, Trudy found herself in need of rescue when she was surrendered by a breeder. She is good with other dogs, however she is possessive of food and toys around other dogs. So, we feel she would do best in a home by herself. Trudy does fine on walk with other dogs and hanging out with them as long as there is no toys or food involved. She loves hanging out with people and she is good with kids. Trudy truly loves to explore and is always up for an adventure, so if you're looking for an energetic and fun-loving dog, then she is the one for you. Trudy deserves a new leash on life and can't wait to start the next leg of her journey with you! The vet said she is around 3 years old, but we think she might be older. She is 41 lbs and an english bulldog. 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 Trudy the perfect forever home, and appreciate you working with us. Our adoption fee is $650. 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
Bowser is an adorable, happy lowrider. He is great with kids, ok with cats and good with some other dogs (slow introductions always recommend). Bowser is young and would benefit from a strong leader who can guide him to be their best buddy. He is a true Bully... stubborn, with a rough play style. But also very loving and loyal. He loves to be with his person. Bowser loves car rides and snuggling with his people. Who wants to give this cutie a happy home? Rescued from a "shelter" in California... he's currently with a foster family in Washington.
