My story

Clarice is quite the sophisticated name for this girl, if she was your bestie you would probably call her Claire-Bear or Reese because it fits her fun-loving, warm side. If she was your bestie she would be the one who would say yes to an invite before you had a chance to explain the who/what/where. She is going, she will have a smile on, and she is guaranteed to be good company. We met Clarice on a dreary, cold miserable day and she managed to bring a double dose of sunshine. First, her face is adorable and her eyes sparkle. Second, she is so friendly and fun. In rescue it is always hard to pinpoint a breed but dogs like Clarice are especially fun challenges. Look at her, she is giving Collie/Corgi on the outside and all Labrador on the inside. Every person she met was as happy to meet her as she was to meet them, she exudes friendly and the cuteness is a bonus. Clarice is estimated to be just over a year old, weighs 43 lbs, and is not expected to get any bigger which makes her a perfect medium size adventure buddy. Take a look at her in all her goodness then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/7trJsypZ9j8 Clarice was introduced to a handful of dogs and she was consistently friendly. When introduced on-leash she was polite and quick to offer an invitation to play. Other dogs were dropped into the play-yard and she greeted them with the same friendly, playful invitation. She was fast-friends with a large, male shepherd who enjoyed a game of chase just as much as she did. With dogs that had a lower energy level she was wonderful at reading them, she would invite them to play without being pushy and would keep things light hearted. Clarice would love a forever home with an equally playful dog to bounce around with. Her love of chase would be best suited for a home with a yard but she could also adapt to an active household that can provide her with exercise and mental stimulation. She’s shown a natural skill reading other dogs, knowing when to play and when to keep things mellow, making her an ideal companion for a moderately playful canine sibling or a regular at your local doggie-daycare. While Clarice is full of enthusiasm, she’s also a quick learner. She’s still working on perfecting her leash manners, but at a year old, she has a great base. Her friendly nature with people and dogs can lead to her occasionally pulling to say hi. With a little training and practice, she’s going to be a walking pro who makes you proud. Clarice is a joy with people—so affectionate and sweet that she’ll happily roll over for belly rubs at any opportunity. During her touch test, she was quick to give kisses and showed how tolerant is, letting us pick her up without any fuss. If you have an open-door policy or love hosting, she would be a fantastic addition to your welcoming committee. She is going to spread good-vibes and may even be the biggest hit. If you’re looking for a bright-eyed, mid-sized bundle of joy who’s as ready for an adventure as she is for cuddles, Clarice is your girl. With her people-loving nature and playful spirit, she’s sure to be the best kind of companion—one who makes every day a little brighter.

Email kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org 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 $900 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 (excluding transport) 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 $1,368. 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 adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. 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  Discounts on Embark DNA test kit- $30 off of Breed ID test & $50 off of Breed ID plus Health test 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion A free private online dog training session with GoodPup, plus low pricing for future sessions  70% off of your first order of Fetch, a delicious PNW based fresh dog meatballs subscription Coupons for a fun visit to Petco 20% off of Dr. Cuddles pet first aid and hygiene solutions Discounted heartworm, flea prevention, and monthly dewormer  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! 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. https://www.threelittlepittiesrescue.org/ https://www.facebook.com/threelittlepittiesrescue https://www.instagram.com/threelittlepittiesrescue Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life? APPLY TODAY and become a hero for pets in need! *Due to the rising cost of fuel and transportation expenses, there will be an additional $74 surcharge for transport.
