Winnie and Tamale

Winnie and Tamale are a sweet elderly bonded pair of Chihuahuas! Winnie is a 12-year-old female Chihuahua and Tamale is a 16-year-old male Chihuahua! They are both very sweet, quiet, and affectionate. They could lay in your lap all day if you’d let them! They are both potty trained, but sometimes … have accidents if not taken out often. But they are professionals at using the doggy door in their foster home! Winnie and Tamale came from an abandoned house up in north Houston. Their owner passed away leaving them and three other cats and dogs fending for themselves for 10 months! Can you believe it 10 months?! Luckily our Three Little Pitties Outreach Team got to them before it was too late. Winnie and Tamale were all tail wags when we walked up! We took all of them home that day and never looked back. They are now both safe in foster homes – learning how to embrace the senior years! Winnie and Tamale are currently fostered in a home with another small dog! They don’t initiate playtime but are both amazing at coexisting with everyone. Winnie and Tamale are loving their foster home but are ready to live out their senior years in their forever home! Don’t miss out on these sweet seniors! They deserve loving in their golden years! Questions? Email [email protected]. Dogs are available for adoption in TX, UT, ID, OR, WA and Canada, brought by USDA licensed semi-truck transport. Pickup day is unforgettable! Our dogs travel in style in our big green truck, equipped with air conditioning for comfort, two drivers, and 3 onboard attendants providing 24 hour care. The adoption fee is $400 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordatella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, 2-6 months of heartworm preventative according to age, a microchip with an instant lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar for dogs over 4 months old, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport, and many priceless years of love and loyal companionship! Three Little Pitties wants to set you and your new pet up for success! In addition to a fully vetted fur baby, you also receive many other additional perks such as a 30-day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion (must register within 24 hours of first vet appt.), a free private online dog training session with GoodPup plus incredibly low pricing for future sessions, 50% off of your first BarkBox order, coupons for a fun visit to Petco, and support through our FB Adopter group where you can connect with thousands of other adopters, 3LP volunteers, fosters and staff. The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is one of the highest in the nation. Statistics show that there are over 1 million homeless animals in this region alone! Three Little Pitties Rescue is a nonprofit dog and cat rescue that partners with the community to make a difference. Our mission is to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and saving all breeds of dogs and cats from the streets or animal shelters that oftentimes have no choice but to euthanize animals for space. We prepare them for adoption by properly vetting and providing individualized care through our incredible behavior program that consists of socialization and leash training for all animals that enter our adoption program prior to matching them with loving families who will treasure them for the rest of their lives. They are rescue dogs and will require continued training efforts once adopted, but will be well on their way to being the best dogs that they can be! Three Little Pitties Rescue will soon be celebrating our 5-year anniversary! Over the course of this time, we have been very fortunate for so much growth, allowing us to further connect with the community and save many lives. Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 10,000 very lucky dogs and cats into amazing homes! By adopting from us, you save two lives – the pet you adopt, and you create an opportunity for another animal to be brought into our rescue program. Together, we can be heroes. Due to the rising cost of fuel and transportation expenses, there will be an additional $42 surcharge. Out-of-town pets are cared for by non-local organizations who can make arrangements for the pet to be transported to your area.
