This stunning little lady is Zuri! The sweetest wiggle-butt, the most caring and loving girl, Zuri lives and breathes love. She’s great with kids, cats, and dogs, and so people-friendly. PERFECT family dog, so snuggly, obedient and adorable.
We suspect Momma Zuri to be a Pittie mix around 4 years old. She has those adorable big-baby-Staffie eyes, and all of the wiggles that just scream “pittie!” She is a rescue so her exact age and breed are unknown to us and cannot be guaranteed. Zuri weighs in at 60 pounds, but she’s mindful of her size and careful not to knock into legs or knock over children.

Zuri loves toys and treats, head scritches and long naps on the couch. This sweet girl has a taste for all of the finer things in life, and she so deserves them.
Zuri is extremely loving, this baby greets everyone with tail wags and kisses. She recognizes her favorite people here at the rescue and gets so excited when they enter a room, wiggling around and nosing at their legs for attention. With kids, Zuri is so polite, kind and attentive. She’s a total snuggle-bug too, she’ll hop right up on the couch with you and get right into your lap. She gives great kisses, she’s just such a charming girl!
With other dogs, Zuri can be a little bit dominant, and may be best suited to a home with more submissive playmates. She’s a vocal player, pittie through and through, it can sound a little concerning at first, but it’s all in good fun for her! With cats, Zuri is disinterested and happy to simply coexist. She was cat-tested here at the rescue, her cat-test can be seen in her video!
Zuri has learned a lot since arriving at the rescue, she’s great on leash now, and she’s learning a variety of basic commands! So far she knows “sit,” “down,” and “paw,” and she’s learning “crawl.” Zuri is so smart and easy to train, she’s incredibly food motivated and she picks up on new information and patterns quickly. Here at the rescue, she doesn’t have accidents in the house, and she’s quiet and calm in her crate.
Zuri isn’t too picky about her forever home, she just hopes to find it soon! Zuri is calm and loving, and could live in an apartment with proper daily exercise and potty-breaks. Zuri is people-focused enough to flourish as an only-dog, but good enough with dogs and cats to fit into your pack. She loves kids so much, and would be over the moon to be a family dog. Zuri can’t wait to meet her forever family, and soak up all the love.
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.

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

• 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.
