Luv-Bug is a toy-loving, tug-of-war champion. Her championship status is currently only recognized within Three Little Pitties but she is looking to take on more opponents, specifically from the PNW to New England. Luv-Bug is a tri-paw’d and honestly it is such an afterthought because it does not effect her at all. In fact, I'll say it, if she had all four legs she would be the world champion at tug-of-war, but I think she is meant for the home life anyway.
I'll give you a little head start to her heart- the rope-ball combo is her favorite! A plain rope toy is fine, a ball is also good, together they are everything she could ever want. Watching her play is so fun! Another thing you should know- touch is her love language! Snuggles on the couch or bed are her fave but only if you invite her, which we sure hope you do, for your sake. Those are the best moments.
If you have a garden you enjoy spending time in, LuvBug is going to be the best company! She has an eye for the little critters, frogs and lizards mostly, and she doesn’t want to hurt them just boop them if she can. You will not have to entertain her, outside she is content to explore and look for critters or throw her toy around. Its a pretty cute sight when she is “grazing” in the yard. The grass and sunshine make her genuinely so happy and you can see it!
We introduced Luv-Bug to other dogs and she was a great playmate! Her energy is fun loving, with chase being her favorite way to play. A friendly, playful dog who understands the importance of taking long breaks in the shade, would be a great fit for Luv Bug.
The love doesn’t stop with dogs, people are where her heart truly lives. Be prepared to have conversations with new people when you are out with her. She is magnetic and loves it, there are no strangers in her world. And don’t worry, walks are no trouble at all for her. She is great on leash, though she is still learning how it all feels now which can look a bit awkward in small moments, that is temporary and with you by her side she will learn that much faster.
An ideal home for Luv-Bug has only one “restriction” she isn’t a cat girl. I heard she got swatted so bad as a puppy she could never get over it. Either way, she tries to chase them and that kind of chaos has no place in a home. Small thing given all the fun and love this girl will bring to your life.
If you're looking for an all around fun loving good-girl, Luv-Bug is available and adoptable. Love aplenty, memories galore, and so many adventures await with this girl. Make her yours!

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 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 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)

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.
