Mary Puppins and her wiggle welcome

My story

Sweet, silly sidekick reporting for duty, its Mary Puppins! This girl is a happy-go-lucky, people-loving girl with just the right balance of playful energy and laid-back charm. Estimated to possibly be right around three years old, she weighs right around 50 lbs, and we can’t decide on what we see in her breed wise. Someone said little rottie, another said big beagle, we see black mouth cur… this is where we just acknowledge that rescue is our favorite breed and a Texas special is top-tier catch. If you know of a breed that is characterized by a wiggly butt, a light up smile and a big ol’ loving heart that’s what she is- 100%! Take a look at see what you think- https://youtu.be/Ej6XO1idkh0 Mary is fostered in a home with multiple dogs, including two Great Danes, an English bulldog, and two foster pit bulls. Mary has proven herself to be incredibly dog-social, playful, and adaptable. She meets new dogs with a happy submissive approach, think - tail wagging and friendly curiosity. She reads dogs well and will roll over on her back to show a dog that she is not a threat, which helps show her relaxed and ready to play vibe. As much as she enjoys playing with other dogs she is also happy doing her own thing whether that is wandering around the yard or playing with a toy. Seeing her connections with dogs she has met and the dogs in her foster home we can say her ideal dog-match would be a medium-energy male who can match her in play but respect her space when she needs it. Thanks to Mary’s dedicated foster we know that she is crate-trained, she currently sleeps in her crate at night and while her foster is away from the house. She is quiet ,both in and out of her crate, and will happily go to her crate when asked. Her foster mom shared that Mary has grown to expect her meals in her crate which is encouraged to fosters with multiple dogs including multiple fosters. We expect that she will carry that routine into her forever home. She is also house-trained and has not had an accident in the house. Once she arrives home she will need a tour of her potty places but comes with a solid base to work from. On top of that, she is great on leash and responsive to gentle correction. We were impressed watching her leash skills with a new handler, she walks at an easy pace, checks in often, and stays by your side. Mary does not live with kids in her foster home but has met kids during outings and when guests have come over and she has done well with them. She is joyful and enthusiastic when meeting new people and is still learning how to control that wiggly booty, so older kids who won’t easily be knocked over by her joy would be best. While she loves a good wrestling session, game of fetch, of a blast of zoomies Mary isn’t non-stop energy. She gets the wiggles out, then chills out. Because of that, she could thrive in either a house with a yard or an apartment, as long as she gets regular walks and chances to be social. Mary Puppins is a solid, easy-to-love, easy-to-live-with kind of dog. Great with people, respectful with other dogs, and full of personality—she’s the kind of pup who just needs a soft place to land and a human (or two) to share her big-hearted joy with. Expect love, full-body tail wags and excited greetings everyday with Mary! Questions?

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!

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!

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?
