Basset Hound puppies and dogs in Idaho

If you like your dogs short on legs, long on body, big on love…Meet Flapjack, the shortstack best-boy! He is absolute perfection- polite, friendly, affectionate, playful, dog friendly and a gentleman with a cat. To truly understand the “short-stack” description you have to watch his video. https://youtu.be/Ml03N_vmRW0 We suspect he is a Basset Hound/Lab mix but everyone who meets him take a minute to soak in his form, and offer their observation. It's the way it is mis-matched so perfectly that adds to his impeccable charm. Estimated to be 1 y/o, he weighs 47 lbs and is full-grown. Given he is a rescue we cannot guarantee breed or age and as you can tell, breed is one that has us truly wondering, so please, if you adopt him and opt for a DNA test, please share the results. We love updates and DNA results on the head-scratchers are a favorite! Flapjack is a loving, people-oriented sweetheart who is ready to give you a little hug and maybe sneak a gentle kiss within a few moment of meeting you. Not in a pushy way though, his approach is gentle and so friendly. We were all impressed by how balanced his energy is, whether it was meeting new people or being introduced to new dogs- he is friendly, warm and polite, with a perfect touch of obvious joy. We introduced him to a handful of new dogs and he was consistently welcoming with great doggie manners. He shows his friendly, playful personality easily and gets excited when meeting a dog that is matching that playful energy. Naturally, not every dog is the playful, happy type, and although she will try to get them to change their mind, she also knows when to move on. We would describe him as moderately energetic—up for a play session or a nice walk, but just as happy snuggling on the couch with a toy. He has shown he can match medium-energy canine friends and will be a wonderful addition to any pack. His playful yet balanced energy makes him a great companion for someone looking for a dog who enjoys both fun, social-time just as much as downtime. Flapjack will enjoy walks and is easy to handle on leash, he passes dogs with a friendly acknowledgement and takes redirection/ correction easily. He is sensitive to correction, and tunes in easily which will help his leash skills polish up to perfect with ease. He may occasionally want to slow down to soak up the sites or meet a passer by but he is easy to keep moving when needed. Given he has some hound-like qualities we would say apartment living may not suit him. We haven’t heard much of it but the occasional bark or chattyish howl may not be as enjoyed by neighbors as we do. A home with a yard or a detached condo would be best. His energy and size means he will fit right in. From everything we have seen he would enjoy having another dog in the home to play with. If an only-dog, he would benefit from regular walks, enrichment, and occasional days at a doggie day-care for his dog-friendly playful side to be satisfied. If you have a cat, don’t worry there, when introduced to a cat he was respectful and calm. When allowed to sniff the cat he was friendly and very respectful not to be too pushy. We would consider him cat-tolerant and he will respond well to learning from his people and the cat what the boundaries are. With his cheerful, easy-going nature and love for people, he’s sure to be a fantastic companion for any family or individual looking for the unique charm this special boy brings. He is perfect and ready for adoption! Apply today! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/678acc895a23ec607607d7de Questions?

We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA  or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!

Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!  Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.  The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) 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 $1,368. 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 adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. It doesn’t stop there!

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!

Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time. https://www.threelittlepittiesrescue.org/ https://www.facebook.com/threelittlepittiesrescue https://www.instagram.com/threelittlepittiesrescue Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
