Story
Meet Lilly the Kiddo Cuddlebug! Lilly is a blue Frenchie mix with the most unique face and the most gorgeous blue eyes you have ever seen. Between her stunning blue coat and those eyes, one look and you’ll understand why she stops people in their tracks, but it’s her heart that makes her such a cuddlebug. Lilly is a sweetheart who wants to be everyone’s friend. She plays well with other dogs and absolutely loves children, so she’d be a wonderful fit for a family with kids or a home with a canine buddy. She’s the kind of dog who greets new faces with a wiggle and a happy grunt, and she makes friends wherever she goes. At just 7 months old, she is a medium to high energy girl, and she is pure muscle. We think there may be a little Staffie mixed in with her Frenchie charm, because this girl is solid and strong. She even has an almost bow-legged walk that is so charming, a little swagger that makes you smile every time she struts by. She’s small enough to be a great family dog, and she loves to be right under your feet, so wherever you are in the house, you can count on Lilly being close by. She’ll play, snuggle, and go for rides all day long, whether that’s a game in the yard, a car ride with her head out the window, or a long cuddle on the couch. Being 7 months old, Lilly is still a puppy through and through, which means she will happily eat your homework and then ask you to play. Kids will love having a playmate who is always up for fun. When it’s time to relax, Lilly knows how to chill out. After she’s had her fun, she settles right down and becomes a snuggly companion who is happy to curl up and take it easy with her people. She has a great balance of play and calm. A family with an active lifestyle, or one that enjoys daily walks and playtime, would be a great match for her. As a young pup, she’s still learning, so patience, regular exercise, and consistent training are recommended to help her grow into her best self, and she’ll reward you with endless love and laughs. Lilly is looking for a home with plenty of love, lots of laughs, and a family to call her own. Could that be you? Interested in meeting Lilly? Contact kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org.

German Shepherd Dog

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,
Story
Rosie is a 4-month-old, female, shepherd mix, looking for her perfect match! She is full of spunky energy, and once she knows she can trust you (treats are the way to her giant heart), she is overflowing with snuggly sweetness. Once her energy needs (mental and physical) are met for the day, her favorite place to be is snuggled up on the couch with her people. In her short time in foster care, Rosie has been practicing basic manners in the home, potty training, and learning that humans are not all that bad (they usually come with snacks, which are her favorite thing!). Rosie will thrive in a home that continues her training and takes her on fun adventures. Rosie’s perfect person will be understanding, patient, and motivated to have fun bonding with her through continuing her training and giving her mental stimulation and energy outlets as part of her daily routine. She loves sniffing on walks in the woods, playing with her doggy friends, fetching, and playing in the water (she will likely be a strong swimmer!). Rosie gets along great with other dogs, is curious but respectful of cats, rides wonderfully in the car, and is a very smart and fun girl to be around.

Story
Meet Carson🐾 At about a year old and 52 pounds, Carson is a big boy with an even bigger heart! This gentle giant may look all grown up, but he’s still just a puppy with a wiggly body, a silly personality, and so much love to give. Carson absolutely loves playing with other dogs and would thrive with a medium or large canine sibling to romp around with. He’s been unbothered by dominant dogs, cats, and kids, making him a pretty easygoing guy! He has the perfect middle-of-the-road energy level — happy to play, but just as happy to flop down and relax when he’s ready for a break. He doesn’t jump on people or furniture, and his favorite things in life? Food and treats, of course! ❤️ He’s already doing fantastic with potty training, with zero accidents in the house! He’s still learning the ropes when it comes to walking on a leash, going into his crate on command, and figuring out how toys work. But this boy is SMART! He learned to sit and lay down in just one day. Carson is a wonderful blank slate with so much potential. He’s the perfect mix of playful puppy and laid-back companion, just waiting for someone to show him the ropes and help him grow into their very best friend. Could Carson be your new best friend? 🐶💕

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with cats, House-trained,
Story
Rosie Round and Wonderful was made for the slow-life crowd—the kind of dog who is perfectly happy with an easy stroll, a comfy couch, a car ride with her favorite person, and plenty of time simply enjoying life together. Watch Rosie Round and Wonderful’s video below to see her sweet, easygoing personality in action: Rosie is an adorable lowrider bully with a gentle spirit and an affectionate nature. She is very sweet and trusting with her people and has the kind of calm presence that makes her easy to imagine curled up beside you at the end of the day. She is low energy and a true couch potato, but Rosie still enjoys getting out for walks. She is easy on leash and even enjoys walking through water, giving her a little adventurous streak without needing a high-energy lifestyle. She is also a great car rider, so trips around town or a relaxing weekend drive can easily become part of life with Rosie. Rosie is apartment friendly, house trained, and crate trained. She is cat friendly and dog tolerant. With other dogs, Rosie would appreciate slow, thoughtful introductions that allow everyone time to get comfortable. Her own play style is gentle and easygoing. Because Rosie is a bully breed, her ideal adopter will have breed knowledge and understand the qualities and needs that come with sharing life with a dog like her. In return, Rosie brings affection, companionship, trust, and plenty of cozy couch time. She would be a wonderful match for someone who prefers life's quieter pleasures—morning walks, scenic drives, afternoons at home, splashing through a little water on an outing, and ending the day together on the couch. Rosie Round and Wonderful does not need life to move fast to enjoy it. Give her a comfortable place to land, people she can trust, and a spot beside you, and she will be very happy being part of your everyday world.

Story
Zia Sandy Sandia has already figured out one of life’s greatest luxuries: why sleep alone when there is perfectly good room in your human’s bed? This sweet little girl loves being close to her people and has the kind of affectionate nature that makes it easy to imagine her becoming someone’s constant companion. Watch Zia Sandy Sandia’s video below to see her sweet personality and loving nature in action: Zia is a small, scruffy little girl with an irresistibly cute face and the best little eyes. She has that perfectly tousled look that makes her even more endearing, and her petite size makes her just right for curling up close. She genuinely seeks out human connection and is absolutely lap-dog material. If there is a warm lap available, Zia is more than happy to claim it. She enjoys being near her people, soaking up affection, and feeling like she is part of whatever is happening around the house. Her foster has already been helping her build some great skills, and Zia knows how to sit and shake. She is crate trained, although given the choice, Zia is more than happy to trade her crate for a cozy spot in bed with her foster. She is the kind of dog who can settle into a routine while still making it very clear that cuddling with her humans is one of her favorite options. Zia is also good with cats and already uses a doggy door, giving her some wonderful foundations for life in a home. More than anything, Zia feels like a little dog who was made to belong to someone. She would be easy to picture following you through the house, climbing into your lap, greeting you at the end of the day, practicing her tricks for a little attention, and then curling up close when it is time to settle in for the night. For someone hoping to find a small, affectionate companion with a scruffy little face, soulful eyes, and a big love for her humans, Zia Sandy Sandia may be exactly the little girl they have been waiting for.
