****Fostered in the PNW (Everett, WA) and available for Meet & Greets**** Meet Sierra New Caney! This adorable 2-month-old Australian Shepherd/ German Shepherd Dog mix (we think- it's always a guess with rescue!), currently a petite 10.3lbs., is a bundle of joy waiting for her forever home. Though her breed is a best guess by the rescue, one thing's for sure—Sierra is 100% lovable! This puppy is from a part of the US where puppies are regularly euthanized. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from this rescue, it saves their life AND it also allows us to save the life of another in its place. One great thing about puppies is they are blank slates (cue Taylor Swift)! Because of this Sierra is great with kids and other dogs, making her a perfect fit for a lively household. Watch the video and see her play with some other puppies, explore and make friends with Athena- an adult pittie mix! She's still young enough to learn to live with cats, so she's open to making new furry friends. Sierra's favorite activities include playing, eating, napping, and being held—she's the perfect companion for both fun and cuddles. Sierra 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 show off around your neighborhood. If you're looking for a sweet, playful, and affectionate puppy to complete your family, Sierra New Caney is the one for you! Adopt this little cutie and fill your home with endless love and joy.

Available for adoption to anywhere in the US. We transport near or into NV, MT, CO, UT, ID, OR, WA, Canada, and now the East Coast! Our dogs and cats are brought to you in style by a private, air conditioned 3LP-run van or bus transport, two drivers, and 2 onboard attendants providing 24-hour care. 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.

The adoption fee of $900 includes all vetting per our veterinarian: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter surgery, flea prevention, 2-6 months of heartworm preventative according to age, heartworm testing and heartworm treatment if applicable, 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 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 provide weekly socialization programs for our dogs through playgroups and group leash training classes available to all dogs in our adoption program, and Doggy Sleepover, Doggy Day Out, and Ambassador programs for our boarding dogs. There is a professional dog trainer on staff to provide support for our fosters and dogs, and an off-site dog trainer for dogs that need more extensive behavior modification. This helps us learn deeply about every dog, prepare them for adoption, and ultimately match them with loving families. 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: • 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! We celebrated our 6-year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 13,000 very lucky dogs and cats into amazing homes! By adopting from us, you save TWO lives! The pet you adopt, and you create an opportunity for another animal to be saved in that spot. Together, we can be heroes.

I acquired Anthony in hopes to have a friendly companion by my side as I live alone. I loved having him around and training him. Unfortunately, I underestimated the the complications of having a dog while working a very busy job. After talking with my boss about the matter, the conclusion was Anthony needed a home where he had the attention and focus he deserved. He is a loving and friendly puppy who is very intelligent and learns quickly! He already knows basic commands and is potty trained which is a huge bonus. Another positive is that he’s a quiet dog that rarely barks. Anthony loves to be active and play, and of course loves attention from people. He will come with his vaccination paperwork, a new bed, toys, and all the essentials he needs to thrive. I hope he finds the loving home he deserves!

Meet Pax! He is a sweet, very well-trained handsome 3.5 yo Australian shepherd with a strong herding drive. He has great recall and enjoys pleasing his owner. He loves his people and makes the cutest noises when cuddled. He is very expressive when he likes or dislikes something. Pax is tenacious about his boundaries and does not like to be pet by strangers. He does well around other people with a toy to distract him and a safe space that he knows is his. Limitation to new people once in his new home would be helpful to settle in as he takes a while to warm up. We found him to be anxious settling in during the first couple days, but then proudly owning his place. He does very well with a routine and will remind you of the small things- like drying his paws before coming into the house- should you forget the habits you introduced. He does great in the dog park and on trailruns and walks staying close-by but playing with other dogs. He does not like fast moving noisy things.

FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED: Say hello to Lincoln! He is a very high energy, active and sweet 2-year-old, 40 lb Australian Shepherd. He is a happy boy and loves to get attention from his people! He will do great with a family that understands herding dogs and their needs. He can be strong willed and is still working on basic obedience and will need a family that will continue his training. He is working on not jumping up and mouthing right now so he needs an adult only home or a home with kids over 14. He is super sweet, but he has a lot of happy and unfocused energy. He is very smart and will thrive with training. He would love to be in a home in a suburban or rural neighborhood with a securely fenced yard for him to run and play. He will do best in a home where someone is home much of the time. He likes other dogs but can play very rough with them and would rather spend time with his humans so for that reason we are looking for a home for him as an only dog or with another dog who is able to handle his rough play. He will need an adopter that will keep him physically and mentally active and would make a great jogging or adventure buddy. He is up to date on all of his vaccinations, microchipped and neutered. His adoption fee is $450.
