Rainy Rigby Raccoon the tiny shepherd with the big love German Shepherd Dog & Australian Shepherd Mix Delta, BC

Rainy is the happiest little raccoon-dog I have ever met! At an adorable 34 lbs at an estimated 2 years old, Dumpling is an itty-bitty shepherd mix of some sort. In rescue, age and breed are observations, never guarantees, but it is especially true with Rainy because from what we all observe, she could be a raccoon shepherd! She has the absolute cutest combination of features and a playful personality to match. Take a look for yourself https://youtu.be/5wiolJQ6E6U

Rainy is incredibly sweet with people and loves to give the most heartwarming hugs and kisses. She would be the perfect couch buddy for a family ready to shower her with love and a few squeaky toys. Rainy is a happy friendly girl and will be an easy best-friend.

When it comes to other dogs, Rainy enjoys their company but given her absolute love of people she could easily be happy as a solo dog. Rainy could coexist peacefully, especially if she also has a doggy friend to keep her focused. Her easy connection with the dogs she met were the calm and respectful type who enjoy play but are not pushy. Rainy is polite when setting boundaries with other dogs and offers gentle corrections if they get too pushy.
If you have a cat, the same personality traits are there and we could see her peacefully coexisting with a feline-friend.

Rainys compact size and friendly personality make her a great fit for an apartment or a home with a yardshes flexible as long as she gets love, exercise, and plenty of cuddles. She is loving, playful, and will thrive in a home where her gentle, affectionate nature is appreciated. Whether shes playing with a toy, giving hugs, or snuggling on the couch, Rainy is ready to bring endless joy to her forever family.

If you have any questions about Rainy or would like to see if shes a perfect match for your home, please reach out! Were happy to help you make Rainy part of your family.

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!
