Meet Squiggy Ark the Mellow Homebody

Squiggy is the most laid back and mellow 4 year old 68 pound pup you'll ever meet.. Squiggy is ready to find his forever home with someone who'll appreciate his gentle nature.

Now, here's the scoop on Squiggy. Hes a bit shy at first, but give him some time and a little sweet talk, and hell warm up to you like nobody's business. Yep, this pup is all about those gentle, patient souls who know how to give him the space and love he deserves.

Meet sweet Squiggy here:



I see Squiggy getting a home that is quiet and mellow like him. He is not a fan of a busy loud house. Squiggy would love a home with older teenagers, a retired couple or a single couple that prefers to stay at home. Squiggy prefers to lay beside you or at your feet. He does not require pets and kisses. He says thats just not his love language. He does prefer a home with a yard and other dogs though!

When it comes to other furry friends, Squiggy maintains his mellow laid back style! Hes totally dog-friendly, whether big or small. While he might not be the life of the party when it comes to playtime, hes always down for a sniff and a wag of the tail with his fellow dog friends. Squiggly isnt the one to wrestle and run around so we think hed prefer a home with another dog like himself or be the only pet in the home.

And let's not forget about leash timehe is pretty good! With his good leash skills, taking a stroll around the neighborhood is a breeze. Plus, hes always up for some quality bonding time with his human, making every walk enjoyable. Squiggy loves to meet new people and lean into their legs for cuddles making him the favorite at the city park.

Squiggy kennels well and doesn't make a peep. We think Squiggy would make a great family pet as long as the family has good boundaries and the home isnt too busy for this gentle boy. We also think he would be best with ages 12 and up as he has a timid nature about him. So, if you're looking for a gentle boy who'll steal your heart with his mellow demeanor and sweet soul, Squiggy is your boy. We are ready to answer any questions for you about Squiggy!

Available for adoption to anywhere in the US. We transport near or into 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 or bus transport. Pick up day is unforgettable! You will get to follow along on their journey through a private FB Event page, where you will see photos, have the opportunity to connect with other adopters, and receive updates and constant communication along the way.

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 dogs needs. We provide weekly socialization programs for our dogs through playgroups and group leash training classes available to all dogs in our adoption program, and Doggy Sleepover, Doggy Day Out, and Ambassador programs for our boarding dogs. There is a professional dog trainer on staff to provide support for our fosters and dogs, and an off-site dog trainer for dogs that need more extensive behavior modification. This helps us learn deeply about every dog, prepare them for adoption, and ultimately match them with loving families. 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 doesnt stop there! Our adopters also receive these special perks: 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 25% 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 5 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. Follow our rescue journey through the links below! https://www.threelittlepittiesrescue.org/ https://www.facebook.com/threelittlepittiesrescue https://www.instagram.com/threelittlepittiesrescue *Due to the rising cost of fuel and transportation expenses, there will be an additional $74 surcharge for transport.
