Story
Cuteness overload!! Sailor is a 1 year and 4 months old 55 lbs rescue came into our rescue when we were told about four dogs that were living with an unhoused man who allowed the dogs to roam freely in the streets while dodging traffic. Thankfully, we were able to get him to surrender all of the dogs to us. We got them straight to our vet where they were all fully vetted. He is now looking for his forever home. He wants to please and craves human companionship. He is just freaking awesome, can be goofy and playful, it’s just so rewarding to see a pup that had absolutely nothing and no future to see him play with toys and bones for the first time is priceless.What a fantastic dog and so loyal. Someone that is not gone long hours during the day, and a home with a safe and secure yard for him to play in. Active owners that will walk or run daily is exactly what he needs! He is such a wonderful dog and is good with everyone he meets! He deserves the best forever home out there and we won't stop till we find it! This one is like hitting the Jackpot. 🔥❤️😍💕He also loves playing with other dogs. He is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. 😍🔥😍🔥😍🔥😍

Story
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?
