Valentine

Hi, I'm Valentine aka Val! They think I'm an American Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Terrier mix, around 4 years old. I'm a rescue though, so my exact age and breed are unknown to the humans and cannot be guaranteed! I'm around 50 pounds, but don't worry, I still fit in your lap! Fall in love with Valentine here: https://youtu.be/77V9Q20vJ2o I'm up for anything you throw at me, especially balls! In fact, I keep one in my mouth all the time for when you're ready to play. I love being near my human, so near that I prefer being right next to you or on top of your lap. I stand still forever when you rub around my ears until I literally melt to lay down and if you throw in belly rubs, I'm definitely your Valentine 4ever. I'm so smart, I catch on to any task you give me. I even tried to help my foster work at her computer and turned on the camera while she was in a meeting when she preferred to be heard and not seen. That was an embarrassing sight - for her. They all adored seeing me! I'm a mix for sure, a mix of fun, love, loyalty & laughs. I play well by myself and with others. I've never met a stranger and love attention from everyone I meet; kids, cats, and dogs included. Did I say I like being close to you? Well, I do, I like face time close, so close I can smell your breath, and you can smell mine - which is great by the way. I prefer being with you but I'm good in my crate if you're too busy or need to leave the house. No crying or barking, just please leave me a toy or two. Speaking of leaving the house, I love car rides & watching the world go by with my head out the window! I love walks; I'm still working on my leash manners but I'm always happy to accompany you on a walk! I go everywhere with my foster, to restaurants and stores, and social gatherings! I love love love people, and I love being a part of the joy! Everyone tells me I'm super smart and highly trainable! I'm a great listener, that's what these big ears are for! Oh, and I love kids too! I met a 6-year-old this week and hopped up on the couch with him for some snuggles, he let me watch his iPad and gave me some pets! The humans said I was gentle and good with him. As you can see, I'm all about LOVE. I love everything and everyone and I'm looking for love! Will you be my Valentine every day of the year and let me be yours? We are willing to test this dog with anything you need us to in order to ensure she's the perfect match for you! We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

Available for adoption in NV, MT, CO,UT, ID, OR, WA, Canada, and now the East Coast! Our PNW dogs are brought to you in style by a beautiful USDA licensed semi-truck, equipped with air conditioning for comfort, two drivers, and 2 onboard attendants providing 24 hour care. Our East Coast route will travel in a private, air conditioned 3LP-run van transport. Pick up day is unforgettable!

The adoption fee is $750 and includes all vetting as recommended by our doctor: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine (if old enough), multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, 2 months of heartworm preventative, extended medical such as dentals, eye surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries prior to adoption when suggested by our partner vets, a microchip with free 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! *WE ARE TOLD THAT WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND MEDICALLY. This is the feedback we tend to get, although we cannot guarantee perfect health. *To fully vet a dog in the PNW at many vets it would be upwards of $1,800 just to fix, vaccinate, chip, etc. The adoption fees charged by our rescue do not cover our expenses medically for each animal, but we offset costs with donations. Your adoption fee is considered a donation towards actual costs. Why adopt from Three Little Pitties? The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is 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 other option but to euthanize animals for space. This dog youve found online is lucky to be in our program, and even luckier to have you notice it! Three Little Pitties wants to set you and your new pet up for success! We know our dogs and we work hard to prepare them socially for adoption. We are a network of dedicated people who are heavily invested in seeing our animals thrive. From the moment they are accepted into our program, our Intake, Behavior & Medical teams prepare them for adoption by properly vetting, behaviorally assessing, and providing customized plans depending on the dog's needs. We seek to adopt to families who understand that these are rescue dogs and will require continued training efforts but will be well on their way to being the best dogs that they can be! It doesn't stop there! Our adopters also receive these special perks: - 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 low pricing for future sessions (approx. $25 weekly for an 8-week course of one session per week) - One free bonus toy in every BarkBox when signing up for their Super Chewer subscription plan - 70% off of your first order of Fetch, a PNW based, organic fresh dog food loaf meal subscription plan - Coupons for a fun visit to Petco - Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup! We celebrated our 6-year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 12,000 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 saved in that spot. Together, we can be heroes.
