**Fostered in Mercer Island, WA and ready for meet and greets!**
Meet Michaelangelo Ninja Turtle! 🥷🐢🐶 This sweet boy is soooo people-loving, sweet, cat-tolerant, dog friendly and adorably itty bitty!
He is currently about 20 pounds and 5 months old. One of his siblings took a DNA test, revealing they may be an adorable mix of Chihuahua, Pomeranian, and so much more! He’s on the smaller side, and he has the cutest little Corgi-esque sausage body.

Like his namesake, Michaelangelo is the fun-loving and playful! In new places, he can be a bit shy and slow to open up, he will need some time to decompress before showing off his playful personality. This happy guy will definitely get the party started with his playfulness and confidence. Michaelangelo is one clever pup – he knows just how to distract his brother to get the toy he wants, and he’s not afraid to play the long game, lol. Michaelangelo also has a sweet and calm side to him, and he will likely love couch snuggles with his forever family.
Michaelangelo loves treats and toys – soft stuffies or chew toys, this little fellow will enjoy them all. He shares well with other dogs, too! You will have just as much fun as him, because it is so entertaining to watch him play with his whole heart. Michaelangelo rolls over and crashes out often because nothing will keep this tiny guy down! We love his fun and joyful personality, but there is nothing better than the kisses and snuggles this puppy delivers – also with his whole heart.
Michaelangelo loves people and kids of all ages, and loves to play with his brothers and larger foster siblings too. Michaelangelo is fully potty trained and already learning many new commands from his loving foster home. Here at the rescue, Michaelangelo was cat tested and showed himself to be cat-tolerant! We believe he could live with dog-savvy kitties, see his cat test for yourself in his video.
Michaelangelo is still young so he will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. His new family will need to continue with potty and crate training and daily exercise. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy. When old enough, they will be perfect to go on walks and hikes or show off around your neighborhood. We believe that he could do well in just about any home, and would do best with a moderately playful doggy sibling to keep him company. Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go! 🥷
You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend!

*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 or the NE 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 you’ve 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.
