This girl is a rescue favorite and we are going to show you the many ways that Matilda Jane will change and brighten your life. Here's the timeline of what's about to happen when you watch Matilda's adoption video and read her bio. Within the first 5 seconds of watching her video, you're going to be in love, next you're going to read her bio and find that everything about her is perfect for you, then you're going to be filling out application, signing that dotted line and counting down the seconds until she is with you in your home making you the happiest you have ever been. We're aren't trying to say that we can predict the future but it's a pretty safe bet that these series of events will absolutely happen. Matilda has one of the sweetest and gentlest of souls you will have ever been so lucky to experience. This girl is perfection; she’s soft, she’s gentle and she has an innocent presence that will keep your home feeling warm and bright every day. Watch her video and fall in love with this sweet and gentle little lady: https://youtu.be/ER6BaB_ZNZg?si=ggDLQQJPsDWSj4K8 We believe Matilda Jane is GSD possibly even Anatolian Shepherd mix approximately 3 years old and currently weighs 52 lbs and has the cutest little docked tail. Don't let the pictures fool you or the possible "Anatolian Shepherd" breed guess fool you, she is little! You know how there is an "itty bitty pittie" club, well Matilda would fall into the "itty bitty shepherd" club if there was one. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Matilda is very dog friendly and loves spending time with dogs. She has yet to meet a dog that does not love her or trust her! Because she is such a peacemaker and calm natured we are able to use her to be with dogs who need the company of another dog to open up to people, or for dogs who have never been around dogs before. They find so much comfort in her and she finds comfort in them as well. You see these dogs immediately relax and often sit as close to her as possible and take naps. Matilda always lovingly welcomes them. Matilda is even a best friend to your small dogs too! She is so gentle and tolerant and always mindful of the size differences. She is so good at sharing toys, treats, bed, and does great tandem walking with dogs. There is just so much to love about her. As repetitive as all this will continue to sound, what makes it all special is the way that Matilda shows wisdom and a reassurance that everyone is safe and well. It is something quite hard to explain. Matilda has also spent time with our house cat Biggie. He loves her too because she doesn’t bother him, doesn't mind when he's playing with her leash, isn't phased when he's jumping around playing with his toys, and doing whatever his heart desires. They just coexist and they do a great job too! If your home is your sanctuary, Matilda will fit right in. She is still learning about all of the luxuries of life with loving humans, and she’s loving it all so far. Especially beds and will lay snuggled up in bed for hours if you let her. Matilda is very quiet, almost to the point to where you forget she is even there. If you work from home she would make a great work from home companion because she is so calm and has great house manners. She'll be happily snuggled up on the couch or bed and will sometimes even come up and rest her head on your lap gently nuzzling into you for pets. Matilda's calm and quiet nature makes her perfect for those families that enjoy relaxing at home and want a companion to enjoy those moments with. She is also crate and house trained and walks easily in her crate and settles nicely for a nap time. Matilda will need a home with lots of patience and love to offer her while she settles and acclimates to your home. She can handle the hustle and bustle of a household after getting to know everyone. She never adds to that fun energy either, she is our Switzerland! She just watches. If you like people watching, so does Matilda. Haha, that is the best way to describe how she acts when she goes to a new environment. She will lay and watch as things around her happen, observing and soaking everything in. You may think not a lot is happening but by day three, she is sitting and observing and soaking it all in! Then she moves to standing and baby steps! Then she moves to walking, roaming, and exploring. Before you know it, she has her favorite spots, knows her routine, her favorite dog and/or human. She would love a big backyard to sniff and explore in. We believe she would be happier in the suburbs or countryside, as opposed to the hustle and bustle of the city. We are willing to test Matilda Jane with anything you need us to in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. For inquires, email: Katiak@threelittlepittiesrescue.org Adoption link: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/680eb9cda29eece5090db07c 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 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!

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?
