What my friends at OHS say about me:There is a 100% chance I will make you fall in love with me!As an older gentleman, I am looking for a home to live out my golden years soaking up all the love I can get. Even though I love a good snooze, I'm also fond of a good walk!I am a social love bug with people and will snuggle into you or give you my paw for pets.Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.The type of home I'm looking for:I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.I would prefer a home without cats, small dogs, or other small animals.It could be with you!

Story
**Fostered in Kirkland, Washington and Ready for meet and greets!** Meet Sawyer Snugglepants – The Ultimate Cuddle Companion! Sawyer Snugglepants is a 5-month-old (estimated) German Shepherd/Lab mix—though with rescue, it’s always a guess! Recently making his way to the PNW, Sawyer is thriving in his foster home and loving every second of it. This fluffy sweetheart weighs 33 pounds and is currently fostered with two loving foster parents and a 6-year-old foster doggy sister, Allie. His foster family is active, and since one of his humans works from home, Sawyer gets plenty of time for snuggles, adventures, and training! Sawyer collapses on top of his humans for cuddles any chance he gets. He hasn’t had a single accident since arriving and sits by the door when he needs to go out—he’d probably master a potty bell or button in no time! A crate superstar, he settles in immediately, barely makes a peep, sleeps through the night, and even naps in his crate during the day. This sweet boy is smart and food-motivated, already knowing sit, down, shake, and spin! His marbled ice cream coat and floppy ears make him extra adorable, and he absolutely loves his walks and sniffing adventures. He’s been around kids before and did great, making him an ideal family dog. Sawyer is well on his way to being the perfect companion—he just needs a family to snuggle, love, and help him continue learning all the things! Application link: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6787d1e13b16779d480e0fc9 Please email kathleen@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions. Available for adoption in NV, MT, CO, UT, ID, OR, WA, Canada, and now the East Coast! Our PNW dogs are brought to you in style by a beautiful USDA licensed semi-truck, equipped with air conditioning for comfort, two drivers, and 2 onboard attendants providing 24- hour care. Our East Coast route will travel in a private, air conditioned 3LP-run van transport. 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. One of our Adoption Coordinators can help to find the closest transport pick up location to you! The adoption fee is $900.00 and includes all vetting as recommended by our doctor: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine (if old enough), multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, 2 months of heartworm preventative, 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 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! We celebrated our 6-year anniversary last year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 12,000 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. Follow our rescue journey through the links below! https://www.threelittlepittiesrescue.org/ https://www.facebook.com/threelittlepittiesrescue https://www.instagram.com/threelittlepittiesrescue *Due to the rising cost of fuel and transportation expenses, there will be an additional $74 surcharge for transport. DISCLAIMER- Breed type is determined based on general appearance and behavioral characteristics and cannot be guaranteed unless DNA test results or AKC registration were provided at intake.

Story
Meet Emily Bronte! She is currently 4 weeks old, and we think she may be a German Sheperd mix, but with rescue it’s always a guess! 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 Emily's video here: * coming soon * Emily is playful, sweet, curious, and cuddly. She comes from a litter of 9 and loves to play with all of her siblings and then take lots of naps. Eat, sleep, play, repeat - such is puppy life! Emily is still young so she will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. Emily'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!
