Story
Ceasar is a 15mth old altered male kelpie mix Ceasar Hey, I’m Ceasar. I’ll be real with you — I’m still figuring this whole “new people” thing out. Meeting strangers makes me nervous, and if I feel cornered, I might snap. But here’s the thing: once I get to know you and trust you, my softer side comes out, and I can relax and be myself. The good news? I get along with dogs way easier than I do with people! They help me feel comfortable and confident. With patience, training, and someone willing to go slow, I know I can keep improving just like I did with my foster. If you’re the type of person who believes in second chances and helping an underdog shine, I’d love to be your project pup and, eventually, your best friend. ##2498991##

Story
2 yr old tricolor M/N Kelpie/GSD mix Looking for a dogs dog?? Gunner is your guy! He was comfortable enough around me, allowed touch, took treats, interacted some with me, but he really really wanted to play with the big dog in the next yard. He wasn't aloof though! Took treats gently, eager to please and loved being called a good boi, it was a fun yard time for both us us He does seem to be feeling the stress from the shelter, some have had some trouble getting him out of his kennel but he was perfectly behaved for me. This is an active breed, he will need consistent physical and mental exercise to be happy, it is likely what is causing his current stress and occasional barrier reactivity. It is worth noting that he was a very loud bork monster when I first approached his kennel but after 3 treats he was ready to follow me anywhere I was going Knows how to sit, walks well on the leash (just a tiny bit of pulling) and seemed potty trained!! ##2528145##

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?

Story
About StormieStormie, a 1-2-year-old Kelpie mix, was brought to us as a stray along with her 3 puppies. She is now ready to start her new life! She is a very playful and active 45 lb dog. She loves to chase toys and balls around the play yard. We suspect she doesn’t see too well, but that doesn’t seem to slow her down! She is looking for a family who can continue her training and help build her confidence. She will need a home with no cats.ConsiderationsNo cats6-foot fence
