Rainy is the happiest little raccoon-dog I have ever met! At an adorable 34 lbs at an estimated 2 years old, Rainy is an itty-bitty shepherd mix of some sort. In rescue, age and breed are observations, never guarantees, but it is especially true with Rainy because from what we all observe, she could be a raccoon shepherd! She has the absolute cutest combination of features and a playful personality to match. Take a look for yourself https://youtu.be/5wiolJQ6E6U Rainy is incredibly sweet with people and loves to give the most heartwarming hugs and kisses. She would be the perfect couch buddy for a family ready to shower her with love and a few squeaky toys. Rainy is a happy friendly girl and will be an easy best-friend. When it comes to other dogs, Rainy enjoys their company but given her absolute love of people she could easily be happy as a solo dog. Rainy could coexist peacefully, especially if she also has a doggy friend to keep her focused. Her easy connection with the dogs she met were the calm and respectful type who enjoy play but are not pushy. Rainy is polite when setting boundaries with other dogs and offers gentle corrections if they get too pushy. If you have a cat, the same personality traits are there and we could see her peacefully coexisting with a feline-friend. Rainy’s compact size and friendly personality make her a great fit for an apartment or a home with a yard—she’s flexible as long as she gets love, exercise, and plenty of cuddles. She is loving, playful, and will thrive in a home where her gentle, affectionate nature is appreciated. Whether she’s playing with a toy, giving hugs, or snuggling on the couch, Rainy is ready to bring endless joy to her forever family. If you have any questions about Rainy or would like to see if she’s a perfect match for your home, please reach out! We’re happy to help you make Rainy part of your family.

The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.  The rescue’s hard costs alone 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 $1,120. 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 fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast.

Meet Ethan Fluff! He is currently 2 months old, and we think he may be a Shepherd / lab mix, but with rescue it’s always a guess! But we do know he is 100% cuddle bug! 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. Watch Ethan’s video here: https://youtu.be/PnBLOKLRl4I?feature=shared Ethan adores the company of people will happily crawl into your lap for snuggles and sweet moments of affection. He’s had experience living with other dogs and would fit right in with a family that already has furry companions. But if you’re looking for a loyal new bestie, Ethan is ready to be your one and only. This sweet boy is the perfect mix of playful and cuddly, and he’s ready to bring joy to his forever home! Ethan is still young so he will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. Ethan's 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 hikes or show off around your neighborhood. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Application link: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/67782fd0f02d2f13920aa3fe Please email kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions.

This is the feedback we tend to get, although we cannot guarantee perfect health. *To fully vet a dog in the PNW or the NE 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 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: • 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion (must register within 24 hours of first vet appt.) • 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!
