Story
Buddy is an unaltered pit/springer mix. 1.5 years old. Super super playful, lives to have you throw a ball, stick or whatever else is handy. Likes the park, and the beach. Cannot be crated, needs someone with time to spend and love to give. He's a good boy, house broke, tho he will chew your shoes and other nonsense if you leave him alone too long. He's pretty hyper so no young kid. But he listens pretty dang well for the most part. Knows sit , down, come. Loves the car. Will eat chickens, and he's rough with cats, those are pretty much his worst vices. And he needs to be fixed.

Story
Look at this girl! I personally am a sucker for dogs with resting sad face and Vienna absolutely has one of the cutest! Maybe she learned you get more treats if you look sad, or people offer a little more love to win your heart when you look a sad, whatever the reason, she knows it is working. This girl had me absolutely fawning over her. Look at her then come back to read more about her! https://youtu.be/nY-IK1U5Q18?si=OYlQbP1ieZzOFskG With rescue we can never know a dogs breed or age with full confidence but we believe Vienna is 1.5 years old and is some type of pit bull mix but honestly, she looks like a few types all mixed in there. She currently weighs 70 lbs and is fully grown. Viennas favorite thing in the whole world is to be outside! She loves her foster parents swimming pool and just hanging out in the sunshine! We don’t know Vienna’s back story but we are happy to be part of her story moving forward. Found as a stray in a great neighborhood, it sure seems like this girl has been loved in this lifetime. For the next chapter of her life Vienna is looking for a home with another medium to large dog(s), older kids (she is a bit big and easily knocks over little ones) so 10 + is ideal, and a yard. She is house and crate trained! She loves to really bounce around when she plays and because of her healthy size, a home with a yard would be best. Vienna is working on her leash skills but is learning quickly. She may be in need of a strong handler at first because our Vienna girl can be super strong! Sometimes squirrels are just too good to resist so she would be best for someone who can help her stay focused and enjoy the walk outside in the sunshine together! Speaking of learning quickly, this girl is super treat motivated so if you have a little time and a handful of treats, this girl will learn the basics and a few party tricks with no problem. Vienna can be slow to warm up to the occasional person while also falling hard and fast for others, but all around, she is a friendly and loving dog. Now that I think of it, aren't we all the same way. She has all the makings of a perfect hang-out girlie. I can see the backyard barbecues, football watching parties, and marathon sessions of your favorite reality tv show with her by your side. Vienna is ready for a love connection and hopefully it is with you! Email kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions!

Story
**Buttercup’s Puppy Love is Just a Smooch and Tail Wag Away! 💖🐾** Meet the adorable Buttercup, a sweet little pup who is ready to bring *puppy love* straight to your heart! At just 4 months old and weighing ~20 lbs, she’s the perfect size for endless cuddles and snuggles. While we think Buttercup may be a *terrific* terrier /Lab mix, we can only guess her exact breed—what we *do* know for sure is that she’s 100% pure love! Buttercup’s heart is full of *joy*—she adores people and is always ready to cuddle. She’ll crawl right into your arms, looking for all the snuggles and affection you can give. She’s had a blast hanging out with other dogs and children, so she’d be a perfect fit for a loving family—or, if you’re looking for a *one and only* best friend, Buttercup is all yours! With the perfect mix of playful energy and cuddle bug charm, Buttercup is ready to bring happiness and light into her forever home. She’s still a little one, so we believe she’ll grow to be a small/medium-sized pup, with her mama being a 30-pound terrier mix. Smart and eager to learn, Buttercup has already figured out how to use the doggy door, and even knows how to sit nicely for a treat! She is already potty trained, crate trained and sleeps quietly in her crate at night. She's currently learning to play fetch! You will often find Buttercup sun-bathing in the yard. She loves to soak up those rays. She is currently fostered with multiple other dogs, as well as a cat too. She is interested in cats, but mostly leaves them alone. Her favorite game is to play tug-of-war and she enjoys chasing and wrestling with the other dogs. After a good play session, she's ready to snuggle up for a nap. Watch Buttercup’s Video here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f4mZAH20s0Q&feature=youtu.be Puppyhood is a big job, and Buttercup will need a family who’s ready to commit to training, socializing, and all the fun (and challenges!) that come with raising a young pup. She’ll need a family to continue those routines crate and potty training routines and give him the daily exercise she craves. Once she’s a little older, Buttercup will be your perfect hiking or walking buddy, or you can just show her off on your neighborhood strolls! 🌟 One thing’s for certain: Buttercup is ready to shower you with kisses and all the *puppy love* you’ve been dreaming of! 💕 Is your heart ready to open up to this sweet pup?

Story
Maribella is ready to be your family dog. She could be the perfect running partner, dog park going, play date loving best friend you never knew you needed. She can also just be your quiet napping companion while you work. Or your cuddle buddy/little spoon! She loves to check in with her people, making sure she is behaving and coming in for a boop here and there. She is trainable simply because of her people pleasing nature. She loves to boop people and other doggies with her cute nose rather than give kisses. It’s so funny! We love everything about this girl from her blue grey coat to her little cow lick down the top of her neck! She’s super soft and she has a little bit of a ridge down her back! Watch Maribella here: https://youtu.be/f9fzCgCaJDU?si=yblJtVDDTQwy9rep Maribella is great in the house and not destructive. She is quiet, not a lot of barking or whining, acts like she has lived in a home environment previously and has very good manners. She does not have any accidents in her kennel or free roaming from what we’ve seen. While her foster works on the computer she is a good girl and naps on the floor. She would make a perfect work from home companion! When you’re sitting there working on your computer every once in a while, she will want to show love, so she will jump up to give you a hug or she will try to slowly crawl into your lap. She is extremely loving and affectionate. She knows how to sit on command and loves rolling onto her back for belly rubs. This girl loves meeting new doggy friends. She gets really excited at first, so give her a chance to show you what a good girl she is. She has more of a rowdy play style, so we could see her fitting in a home with higher energy doggy siblings, or dogs that don’t mind showing her the right ways to behave. She became instant best friends with the dogs she met here at the rescue. Maribella loves praise more than anything in the world, so she will often look to her people to get approval throughout play time, which is great! She will be very tuned in with her person, whoever that may be. Could it be you? Maribella is one of those girls that is going to be deeply loyal, caring, and attentive to her family. She does all of this while still being respectful of new people without being overly eager. Maribella is very gentle with kids! She hung out with her fosters son, age 7 and seemed very comfortable from the beginning. With no hesitation at all, she wanted to give him kisses. She’s extremely affectionate, she’ll slip in gentle kisses here and there. Maribella really wants to hug you and she’ll put her head on your shoulder for a really long hug if you will have her. She will look up at you with her puppy dog eyes looking into yours, and wants to give and get love. She’s pretty confident, she doesn’t seem scared of anything, including when her fosters young son was throwing a balloon around in the air and hitting her with it. Her tail continued to wag. We could see her being a family dog with kids. We are happy to test this girl with whatever you may need. Just let us know! Ready to apply?

Story
**Fostered in Fall City, WA and available for meet and greets** Introducing Rose Kissington Valentine – a 4-month-old Staffy mix with a heart literally on her nose and love written all over her! 🌹🐾 This affectionate little lovebug is a world-class snuggler and an A+ companion for anyone who wants a sweet pup with a playful side and the most kissable face. Since arriving in the PNW, Rose has been thriving. She's currently living her best life with two human foster siblings (ages 11 and 14) and four doggy foster siblings, including a pittie and a few chihuahua mixes – and she adores them all. She's playful, smart, curious, and incredibly respectful when interacting with other dogs. This girl reads the room and adjusts her energy like a pro. Rose is already potty and crate trained (though she may need a couple days in a new home to get the lay of the land), knows how to sit, and is always eager to learn. She's the kind of pup who wants to be included in everything – car rides, adventures, trips for pup cups – and she makes friends wherever she goes. Expect Rose to be a medium-sized gal when she's all grown up. She’d love a home with a yard to zoom around in, another playful pup to hang with, and/or some kiddos to cuddle up next to. She’s social, snuggly, and ready to blossom into the best family dog you could ask for. Bonus points if you’re a sucker for a dog with a heart-shaped nose – because Rose has the most adorable one we’ve ever seen. 💕 Looking for a sweet, playful, affectionate pup to be your new best friend? Rose Kissington Valentine is your girl.

**Fostered in Everett, WA and ready for meet and greets!** This is the biggest Kitten you will see today! This Kitten is a big, lovable girl who is bouncy and playful, with a contagious amount of happiness. This girl loves her people from the moment she meets them. Her foster notes that she is "SO affectionate"! She enjoys standing you or sitting in your lap smoothering you in kisses! Safe to say, this big girl definitely thinks she's a lap dog! She is a little shadow following you everywhere, and staring up at you with her squishy face and puppy dog eyes no one can resist. Her nickname is Big Baby Love Bug for a reason! Take a look at her video and come back for more! https://youtu.be/jVKBZY9fMYQ?si=JArQjGjw9M-8bUNo Estimated to be 3 years old and weighing 73 lbs, she is fully grown, and we cannot dance around it, she is a big girl. Given her size and eagerness to experience all the amazing things the world has to offer, a handler that can physically manage her will be key to keeping her focus. She listens well and is very attentive, no worries there, a little muscle is just for good measure. Plus she is treat motivated which will only help when it comes time to practice leash skills or obedience. Her love of treats make us think she will be a good student. She even knows how to sit! She is interested in people food, but is not pushy and accepts a "no" with ease. Kitten would thrive in a family home, and kids who are steady on their feet would be ideal so she doesn’t knock any littles over with love. She currently lives with a 5 and 8 year old. Her favorite part of the day is waking them up for school, and greeting them again when they arrive home! She is potty trained and crate trained. She sleeps like a rock all through the night in her crate. She is an amazing work from home companion, snoring the day away on her bed. She will come up when you have breaks for extra reassurance that she is a good girl! Kitten would most likley need a home with a yard, given the fact that she can be a lot on a leash because of her eagerness to give affection to everyone she sees! She would also do well in a home with another dog. Kitten does well with other dogs, especially confident, playful males who like to have a good time and don’t mind a big, bouncy playmate. She has a balanced way of playing—happy to engage but able to set boundaries if another dog is too rowdy. Kitten would love a moderately playful canine friend in her new home. She would also do great in a home with a small dog as a well. She met our small dog tester Mateo and you see her in her video, sharing treats, snuggling on the bed together, sharing affection, etc. There was a moment when she got a little too excited and Mateo of course didn't want to be stepped on and he growled at her and she respected his correction and understood that she needed to be a little more gentle around him. Kitten is an all around good doggy friend to all. Since she is so loving and people oriented, she also wouldn't mind being the center of your attention if you don't have other dogs. She is a happy and confident girly all on her own and does not need the comment of another dog to help her feel comfortable and be the social butterfly that she is. For a family who wants a loyal, attentive companion, Kitten’s affectionate nature is going to feel amazing, her and that happy heart are a real treasure. Because of her size and occasionally bouncy happiness, she’d be a great fit for a home with older kids who can handle her big-hearted energy. And despite her name Kitten is not meant for a kitten. Basically, no cats for Kitten! She’s a little too interested in them and might find it hard to resist chasing a feline friend around the house. If you’re ready to introduce people to you new 73lb Kitten, she is just as ready! If this was her dating profile, then kitten is ready for her long-term committed relationship. She will love you from the second you bring her home! Kitten is looking to share her big hearted excitement for life. Could that be with you and yours?

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.
