Ashton

204 days and counting! That’s how long this sweet boy has been with Three Little Pitties. If you want to know why this boy would be a good fit for you, please keep scrolling! “Oh, hi there, I’m Ashton! Energetic, friendly, and goofy… that’s how everyone describes me. Here’s what you need to know … about me: I am friendly. I am playful. I am a fun dog. I am a bit higher energy. I am sweet. Some other quick facts about me: -I’m about 12 months old and will be a medium sized boy when fully grown. – I am actually a lot smaller than I look! I have the cutest short legs and low to the ground body. Jessica even said I might have some Bully in me. But I have the heart of a LOVER! – I love all people. I have never met a stranger. Sadie who is 11 years old walked me today and said she thinks I need a family with kids 6 years and older. PS – it’s just because I jumped a little because I’ve been in boarding! I can totally be trusted with kids. -I have the softest coat which makes it so easy to cuddle and give me love. Score! I’ve learned to roll over on my back to get optimal belly rubs. I’m a smart guy! -I’m dog friendly and love pouncing around with doggo friends big & small and of all temperaments. I can handle the playful and rambunctious dogs. -I am very interested in cats even when they smack me around a bit when I get too close so it would be best if I went to a home that was cat-free! I do have a high prey drive! -Like a typical puppy, I don’t like to be bored. So, I’m looking for a home with another dog, some toys, and lots of human attention. I’m told I do some mischievous puppy things like nibbling on shoelaces if left to my own boredom. Whoops! -I’m goofy and don’t quite understand physical boundaries just yet. But I learn a lot from my older foster siblings, so I’d love to have an older pup in the house to show me the ropes. -I am smart! I learn really quickly and want to please people. I like learning new things and exploring. I am a curious pup! I am still a pup at about 12 months old. I’ve learned a lot already and am super smart, so I’m just lookin’ for someone to help me fully round out my skills!” Email [email protected] with any questions. Dogs are available for adoption in NV, UT, ID, OR, WA and Canada! Canadian adopters must cross the border to pick up in Bellingham, WA. They are 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 $650 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.
