**Fostered in Mill Creek, WA and ready for meet and greets!**
If you are a dog lover you know- a friendly, happy dog, who loves the water, other dogs, and can be respectful around a cat can feel like the dog everyone else has, and the one you want! Well, it might be your turn to have that dog! This is Boots, available for adoption, loves the water, friendly and playful with other dogs, loves a booty scratch, and was respectful of out house cat! The term-move-in ready is used for houses but in this case he is the one that is move-in-ready. To your house that is! He is ready! Take a look at him in action then come back to read more! https://youtu.be/KXcu_IOVMaM
Boots is super confident and outgoing, he has not met a stranger. He loves to greet new people with a wagging tail. Hes joyful and loves to play with toys and hell throw a toy up in the air to keep himself busy.
Boots can match the energy of whats going on around him. If given the opportunity to play, he can really get into it. Check out his rodeo moves here: https://youtube.com/shorts/gsIwiQ7erR8?si=cNCk_8Me3Lg3U49t
If you are needing to work on the computer, he will lay down in the room with you like a good boy. He is not constantly in your face needing attention. I worked on my computer for about two hours and he laid on the ground next to me. Ive had my six-year-old boy with us and Boots has enjoyed interacting with him. He loves it when my son pets him.
He absolutely loves to play tug-of-war with a toy! It seems to be his happy place if youll give him a minute of that game. Whenever you make eye contact with him, his tail wags, he just absolutely loves people so deeply.
Hes really quiet in his crate overnight with no accidents. He does not bark from what weve seen, he seems completely crate and potty trained.
He does get fun zoomy energy, but its not constant. He has a pretty well-balanced energy level. The cats come to the glass door and taunt him through the glass door, but he doesnt bark or freak out.
Weighing in at 55 lbs he is a lot of fun and the perfect get-up and go guy! Estimated to be 1 year old, he is eager to learn and has a great base of to work from. He has a great sense of dog manners, how to play nicely, and loves a light-hearted game of chase!
Boots is young and will need help polishing up his leash skills, the day we met him he was excited and a bit bouncy on leash but has enough of a basic understanding that he could easily join you on a walk right now without any trouble. When we introduced Boots to a handful of dogs he had never met, he was calm for introductions and perfectly playful when he was invited to play chase. Watching him jump into the pool to cool off was what sealed his hold on my heart. He was so content and self-assured it was a joy to watch!
Boots is also friendly without being pushy, he wants to say hello but will wait patiently for you to meet his eyes and invite him over. Not one time, even when treats were being offered (which he loves) he did not jump or get overly excited. He is such a well-behaved boy it is easy to forget that he is a middle-ager, freshly out of his puppy days.
Boots is what we lovingly call a daycare dog because he is easy-going and his playful approach with other dogs means he can go to doggy-daycare for a fun day out and then come home for a big ol nap! He doesnt need that level of play everyday though, he is mellow inside and happy to hang out or play with a toy on his own. An ideal home would include occasional adventures, hike or day-trips to the lake or beach, and walks around the neighborhood. He would really thrive in a home with a fenced in yard.
A playful friend would be awesome and a pool of any size, even a kiddie pool to splash around in, would be a bonus!
If you have any questions about Boots or would like us to test him for a specific setting or detail, please be in touch! We can make most anything happen to ensure he is the correct fit for you and your life!

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 rescues hard costs alone 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 $1,120. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical caresuch as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic carecan lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that Three Little Pitties Rescue is not government funded.

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.
