Small, sparkly, happy, and just the right amount of spunky… this is Sprout. She is a little burst of joy in a compact, pointy-eared package, equal parts adorable sidekick and tiny entertainer. Go watch Sprout the Tiny Dancing Queen on YouTube, then come right back, because this petite performer has more to share than just her dance moves. https://youtu.be/wYdQrT86Bi8?si=2xflgH4w67RRbXO3 Sprout is estimated to be around 2 years old and weighs 26 lbs. As for breed, your guess is as good as ours, but we’re leaning toward a “Kelpie fox” situation… not scientifically confirmed, but spiritually accurate. What is confirmed? She’s fully house and crate trained, people-loving, and very ready to be someone’s little shadow and reliable source of daily smiles. Let’s talk about her party trick, because it deserves its moment. Sprout is very treat motivated and will happily perform the cutest little circus-style dance when snacks are involved. It’s less “sit for a treat” and more “joyful performance.” It’s cute and we have a sneaking suspicion she knows it. In her foster home, she’s been an easy and lovely addition. She’s affectionate, social, and enjoys being around her people. She brings a light, happy energy into the room without demanding the spotlight. It is very charming. With other dogs, Sprout is sweet and thoughtful. She can feel a bit intimidated by bigger, high-energy dogs at first, especially in new environments, but she handles it gently and gains confidence with a little time and reassurance. Once she realizes everyone is friendly, she warms up beautifully. She would especially love a home with a dog her size or smaller, or a calm, respectful companion who will let her settle in at her own pace. She also met a cat and was honestly adorable about it. Her approach was respectfully curiosity, followed by playful politeness. She even offered a few little play bows like she was genuinely trying to introduce herself. With proper introductions, she shows all the signs of being able to live happily with a feline friend. Sprout is overall a soft, happy, people-loving girl who just needs a moment to feel safe in new situations but then her personality blooms in the sweetest way. Think of her like her name… she just needs a little sunshine and time, and suddenly she’s thriving. If you’re looking for a small dog with a big personality, a playful spirit, and a happy heart…Sprout is ready and waiting to grow right into your life. Apply today and welcome home your new favorite little performer. Questions? Email Kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org Ready to apply?

Meet Apollo Breed: Husky / Kelpie Mix Sex: Male DOB: 10/2/2022 Weight: 46 Pounds Health: Neutered, vaccinated, and a cancer survivor Apollo is more than just a dog — he’s a true survivor with a heart full of love and resilience. After bravely going through 10 rounds of chemotherapy, Apollo has shown incredible strength and determination. Today, he’s a happy, loving boy who hasn’t let his past define him. Instead, he embraces life with joy, energy, and a deep desire to finally have a family of his own. Personality Apollo is friendly, affectionate, and full of life. He loves people and does wonderfully with kids, making him a great family companion. He also gets along well with other dogs and enjoys both playtime and companionship. Apollo has a loving, loyal nature and thrives when he is around his humans. He’s the kind of dog who will happily join you on walks, adventures, or simply relax by your side at the end of the day. Breed Info Husky and Kelpie mixes are intelligent, active, and highly loyal dogs. Huskies are known for their friendly nature and love of companionship, while Kelpies bring focus, energy, and a strong desire to engage. This combination creates a dog who enjoys both physical activity and mental stimulation. With proper exercise and structure, dogs like Apollo become incredibly devoted companions who thrive when included in daily life. Owner Responsibilities Apollo will do best with an adopter who can provide regular exercise, engagement, and companionship. Daily walks, playtime, and mentally stimulating activities will help keep him balanced and happy. Continued positive reinforcement training will strengthen his bond with his adopter and give him structure. Given his medical history, ongoing attention to his health and routine vet care will be important. ⚠️ Things to Consider Before adopting Apollo, it’s important to consider your long-term stability and lifestyle. Are pets allowed where you live now and in the future? If you move, will Apollo move with you? Do you have time each day for exercise, companionship, and engagement? Are you financially prepared for routine veterinary care and any future needs? Dogs like Apollo deserve a home that will stand by them for life. Vet Care Apollo has already shown incredible strength through his treatment, and continued veterinary care will be important to support his long-term health. Establishing care with your own veterinarian soon after adoption will help ensure he continues to thrive and receive proper monitoring. Understanding the 3-3-3 Rule Like most rescue dogs, Apollo will need time to adjust to his new home. The first 3 days he may feel unsure as he decompresses. The first 3 weeks he will begin learning your routine and feeling more secure. By 3 months, his confidence will grow and his loving personality will fully shine. Patience and consistency during this time will help him settle in successfully. Why Apollo? Apollo has already proven how strong and resilient he is. Now, he’s ready for the life he truly deserves — one filled with love, stability, and companionship. Dogs like Apollo don’t just love… they love deeply. The family who gives him a home will gain a loyal, grateful companion who will cherish every moment by their side.
