My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**Fostered in Kenmore, WA and ready for meet and greets!**

This cutie is Sweet Caroline. She is currently 6 months old, and we think she may have some lab or coonhound in her, but with rescue it’s a guess! What matters most is that she is an adorable, spunky puppy, full of enthusiasm, hoping for a loving forever home.

You name the game, and she's up for it. Caroline loves to play! Chase? Yes please! Wrestling with other dogs? Oh gosh yes! Toys? The more the merrier! This girl says YES to life. She has lots of joy to share with you.

Caroline is enjoying a foster home in the Seattle area with large and small doggy siblings. She is a very smart girl! She's very good and quiet in her crate, and is housetrained. She can go about 4 hours in her crate during the day and 8 hours overnight. She is a master of the "sit" command (as long as she's not too distracted -- SQUIRREL!) and has excellent recall. She also knows the "kennel up" and "wait" commands and is learning to lie down on command. She's good on a leash with the occasional treat to grab her puppy attention. Mostly, though, she wants to give kisses and get belly rubs.

The Houston, TX area, where this puppy is from, is one of the riskiest places in the nation for pets. Shelters in this area are having to euthanize puppies. Caroline needs you! If you adopt her, you save her life AND make room for her foster to take in another desperate pup.

Caroline 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.

In return, your new best friend will give you plenty of kisses and laughter! Are you a walker, hiker, or jogger? Caroline will make an excellent exercise buddy! She wants to go EVERYWHERE with you and she'll make you smile every step of the way with her goofy, unbridled enthusiasm. Adopt Caroline!

We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. 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!

You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!

The adoption fee is $825.00 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectible, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship!

We have over 15,000 successful adoptions so far and have excellent Google Reviews:
https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.

Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. 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 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. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that Three Little Pitties Rescue is not government funded.

It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:

Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family

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!

Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
