Plott Hound puppies and dogs in Bellingham, Washington

Star is the perfect addition to someone who wants the companionship of a dog without the addition of a big change to your day to day life. She isn’t going to disturb the peace, take your favorite spot on the couch, or insist that you become an avid runner so she can tag along. Star will quietly scooch in next to you, be happy to join you on walks around the neighborhood, and be a great playmate to your current dog if you are here as a canine matchmaker. One of my favorite things is how loving and sweet she is without being demanding or pushy. She likes to be close but won’t knock you over. She loves giving polite kisses, no whole-face messy moves here. Take a look and then come back to read more https://youtu.be/QaNmPwFrEMU Star has a quiet, almost shy approach to new experiences but she is est. to be only 1 year old, so the whole world is something to see and learn about. It doesn’t take her long to feel comfortable, especially with a little loving guidance by her person. She has great basic leash skills and takes her time to soak up the sights and sounds of her environment. It is very sweet to sit front row and see her enjoying something for the first time. Passing and meeting new dogs on leash is approached with calm interest and easy redirection if needed. When introduced to a handful of new dogs, Star met them each politely. As the group grew bigger and dogs began to pair up to wrestle and chase she was mindful not to be a third wheel. Having a few ball-loving fetch stars in the year that day, a couple tennis balls were added to the mix and she shared without any issue and showed us her budding fetch skills. At one point we though she was only 50% of the way to mastering fetch but she ended up showing us she is closer to 90%. The direct ball-to-hand move is that last 10%. It was easy to see that Star felt naturally at-ease with other dogs and would benefit from a playful, medium-energy doggy sibling in the home. We took Star inside to get out of the rain and have some couch time and she showed us that the couch is where she shines! She wasn’t sure about our rug, and comically tried to avoid it at first but eventually decided it was nothing to fear. I like to imagine she was playing the floor is lava rug edition. The couch was there the snuggly bugle in her came out and we didn’t want it to end. To add to her friendly nature, Star was very polite when she met our resident cat and we believe she could live peacefully with a feline friend. Her ideal home would be one with a slower pace, not slow, but a medium- energy lifestyle suits her personality. Another dog with a friendly and playful approach would be great and kids are welcome and we anticipate she would be appreciated most by slightly older kids who want a dog to snuggle and play fetch with while being gentle and patient with her as she learns about all the good-stuff that comes with being a family dog. She is no doubt an affectionate, playful, and loyal companion who will be a shining Star in your world.

Meet Brando- the sweetest, cutest little puppy in the world. Brando is 100% snuggles, sunshine and good times, just a little puppy looking for his forever family. We think Brando is a German Shepherd, Catahoula mix, though he is a rescue, so exact age and breed are a mystery. He’s around five months old, and still has quite a few of his puppy teeth! He weighs in just under thirty pounds right now, but he’s still growing! Watch Brando here: https://youtu.be/cQb2ondiOqY Brando is your typical puppy, all about naps, snuggles, playtime and food! He loves treats, and he takes them so gently already! Brando shows tons of signs that he’ll be a good dog when he grows up. He’s not mouthy, he’s learning his leash skills quickly, and he’s great at checking in with his humans during play time. He calms down quickly when playtime is over, and then it’s straight to snuggles. He’s confident and affectionate, and will climb up on the couch with you for some love! Brando LOVES belly rubs. With other dogs, Brando is all play! He’s super friendly with other dogs and instant BFFs with anyone that will indulge him in a game of chase. Here at the rescue, we cat tested Brando. Brando was playful, but not reactive toward our house cat Tom. See his full cat test in his YouTube video. Our behavior team believes that Brando could live in a house with kitties, so long as another dog is present to teach him proper kitty-etiquete. Brando is still young so he will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. His 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. We are willing to test him with anything you need us to in order to ensure he’s the perfect match for you! We can make most anything happen- just let us know. With any specific questions, please reach out to his adoption coordinator, whose email is linked below.

**Fostered in Nampa, ID and ready for meet and greets!** How often do you see a dog that is this striking? Well don’t just stare, let me introduce you! Her name is Isa and she can come across as a bit shy but Ill tell you, it is only because she is truly holding her best material for her biggest fans. Her best material is the sweetest kisses, goofy zoomies, and a silly playfulness that looks so good on her. We can’t say for sure of course but everything about her leads us to believe she is a Catahoula Leopard dog. Estimated to be 2 years old and weighing 48 lbs, she is a full-grown mid-size dog, which from experience I will say is prime snuggle size. If you know about the breed already you can skip ahead but if not, one of my favorite facts is that Catahoulas are the state dog of Louisiana so if you are a die hard LSU fan, this girl will wear your purple and gold with true pride. Beyond that they are independent and smart and loyal through and through. Isa’s perfect home is adaptable and we could see her thriving in a house with a yard to enjoy or an apartment. She does prefer the quiet life, you might even say she identifies as a country girl with no interest in big city life. Its noisy. As for other pets, Isa doesn’t mind one way or another. An independent male dog would make a great counter-part but she is perfectly content being an only dog. As for cats, she has spent a lot of time with our house cat Tom, even laid down together!. Kids are welcome with understanding the her bit of shyness isn’t from lack of love, she is a bit like a new kid at school, help her learn her way around and be supportive, before you know it you’ll have a new best friend who is ready to show you all her cool spins and zoomies. Isa was introduced to several new dogs and did great, she was very tolerant and patient with a variety of dogs from calm to the high energy wild ones. Her shy approach isn’t as present with dogs but she does take a more aloof approach at first so a dog that is understanding or equally easy-going and aloof would be best for her. Isa is a cutie girl who is sure to bring you and everyone around you plenty of laughs and love. A girl like her won’t be available for long so if you are even slightly interested, fill out an application or send an email to kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions.

This handsome young man is named Parker Sparkles, he has the sweetest soul and he’s looking for love! Parker is a complete sweetheart, ready to adore, and be adored by you. We think he would make an excellent companion dog for just about any fun-loving household, he would love to be your very own adventure dog! Parker would adore doggy parents with adventurous hearts, that will take him camping, hiking or just to the park! As long as couch snuggles are guaranteed after the fact. He has an adventurous heart with a soft and gentle snuggly side to match. He’s the best of both worlds. Watch Parker here: https://youtu.be/aiZAg-i-XoI?si=SMD48qK9q661I-D7 We believe that Parker is a Catahoula, Labrador mix, however he is a rescue, so his exact age and breed are unknown to us and cannot be guaranteed. Parker Sparkles is lovingly bestowed with such a fun name on account of his partial iris heterochromia in both eyes- he has brown eyes with these adorable, cartoonish blue highlights. We estimate his age to be around 1 year old, and he currently weighs in at 56 pounds. Parker has a huge, warm heart, and being a rescue dog, he’s learned to guard it. He can be a bit shy at first, but he warms up with soft voices, gentle pets and quality time. This is true for Parker with humans and dogs alike. Once he has warmed up to you, you’ll find that you have the most loyalist best friend until then end of time. He’s a gorgeous boy with so much love to give, his foster mom describes him as “affectionate, but not needy.” One of the things that she loves about Parker is the fact that he is not the type of dog that constantly needs her or needs his person. He definitely likes to be in the same room with his person and people in general but he’s not needy or begging for affection. Every day, she’s greeted by excited little hops when she comes home. He’s a snuggler, and a total lap dog. Parker is a lover and knows how to not over do it. If you’re someone who works from home, if you’re someone who is retired and likes to garden, do projects around the house/property and you’re looking for a companion to have with you; Parker is your dog! He will quietly follow you around, keeping you company and does he best about not getting in the way. He simply likes to be in your presence. Parker is also a frequent visitor at his foster mom’s work office. He is not desruptive to other employees that work there. He is quiet and is not the nosey type. At the office you’ll typically find him either under your desk taking a nap or he’ll be taking a nap on his dog bed or chewing on a chew bone. He is also a little bit of an introverted gentleman in the sense that he’ll sit back and watch while you either talk with another employee or a customer and only engaging when it’s appropriate. Which is perfect for him and just the way he likes it since he can be a little slow to warm up with new people. Parker is dog friendly and is currently fostered in a home with multiple other dogs some being large and others being puppies. He gets along fabulously with everyone now, it did take him a few days to decompress and feel comfortable around his larger foster siblings. With the puppies however, there were no issues and he initially felt comfortable around them. Once he opens up and feels comfortable, has a wonderful rough and rowdy play style with his canine companions, he’s always the life of the doggy party. If he is to be adopted out with another dog Parker would do best with a dog that is aloof and playful. One that will respect his space once he arrives, let him get his bearings, and also a pup that will engage with him. A dog that will encourage him to play without being too over the top about it and in his face. Parker would absolutely appreciate doggy siblings in his forever home! They simply know how to make other dogs feel better and more comfortable in a way that people never could. Which I think it pretty amazing how other dogs have the ability to essentially help rescue other dogs. This sweet boy is a complete toy lover as well. His favorite toy is a canvas frisbee with rope around the edges. He adores squeaky toys and playing “surgeon” with them! If you don't know what we mean by that, it means he loves to de-stuff stuffies. Even his favorite ones. It can be quite a show to watch that will be guaranteed to make you laugh. He loves his nylabones too, and could chew on them for hours. He shares his toys well, and adores playing tug of war and fetch. His foster mom says one of her favorite things about Parker is the way he bounces, leaps, and springs in the air like a deer going after one of his toys that's been thrown across the yard. She says it's one of those things that he does that no matter what kind of day it was, playing fetch with him and seeing him jumping like a deer always put a smile on her face and instantly made her day 10x better. He also knows when play time is over and he’s not begging to play fetch some more. He leaves it be and goes inside to lay down to take a nap or chew on his chew bone. Parker would love to find an adventurous family. He is an adventure dog at heart and loves exploring new places and new smells. We would actually love to see him go to a home that either has a large backyard with plenty of room to explore or even a home with some property. He travels with his foster parents out to their farm where there is fencing going around the property that simply outlines the property and he loves going off in the woods, exploring all the new smells. One thing with Parker that you’ll never have to worry about is he will never stray too far away from his people. He’s the type of dog where once he gets use to an area, he’ll go off and enjoy the outdoors, then will be right back at home where he belongs never straying too far or out in the woods for too long. I can see him joining his people for a hike out in the evergreen woods, prancing around like the deer that he portrays to be, enjoying the simple outdoors like it was something from a movie scene. Parker is easy to walk on a leash which will help make any adventure that much more enjoyable, even if it’s just a walk in the neighborhood. He also loads and unloads by himself, settles in the backseat, and likes to look out the window. His foster mom even said Parker knows the words “let’s load up” too. We’re not quite sure if Parker is a water dog yet, but we can say that he’s quite curious about his foster family’s pool! He likes to explore the edges of the pool, dipping his face under the surface from time to time. We won’t be surprised if he learns to love swimming! Parker’s perfect home would have at least one loving human to adore, but he’s not too picky about the rest. He has been around kids of all ages and we believe he would do best with kids 6 and older that will understand and respect doggy boundaries. Parker could co-exist happily with doggy siblings, or he could thrive as a solo dog. He would love to have a spot on your couch, and something tells us that this boy would adore a place in your bed as well. Parker loves to run, and the sound of trucks and lawnmowers don’t faze him, so his foster mom suspects he would love the farm dog lifestyle! This handsome boy won’t be available long, submit an application to adopt today! We are willing to test this dog with anything you need us to in order to ensure he’s the perfect match for you! We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Please email Kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions.

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. https://www.threelittlepittiesrescue.org/ https://www.facebook.com/threelittlepittiesrescue https://www.instagram.com/threelittlepittiesrescue Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
