We see a lot of dogs in the rescue world but we all had a minor cuteness overload when we met Dobalina! If the ears don’t move you her sweet personality will. The itty-bitty mash-up of what sure looks like a chihuahua and dachshund had us calling her a chiweenie but of course, we don’t know for certain. Between her adorable looks and what proved to be an amazingly loving, gentle, and all around sweet personality, she is a true catch. If you have ever dreamed of having a lap-dog that resembles a toy version of a dog- her she is in all her perfection!
You don’t need me to sell you on the cuteness though, she has that covered. So let me tell you a little about her personality from our time together. Naturally, she was initially shy, a new environment and new people can be overwhelming especially when you are that itty-bitty. Even though we could sense her shyness, she wasn’t shutdown or unavailable. She was still quick to connect with people that offered her love or sat down long enough to have a lap within reach. One of the cutest things was her trying to keep her eyes open while she had pictures taken, whether she was sleepy or just giving the tiniest protest about her photo-shoot, it was adorable!
We introduced Dobie to a few dogs, a small male dog, a large female, and a very eager puppy. Although some shyness was visible, she was not uncomfortable in their company and after a few minutes was walking around with them comfortably. She does not need a dog friend in the home and is so people focused that being your one-and-only would be her idea of perfect. The +1 to her perfect party would be a feline friend. When we introduced her to our house cat we were giddy with how quickly she lit up. Tail wag and sparkle eyes immediately! On top of the obvious affection, she was incredibly respectful, taking time to very calmly smell him until the cat gave a little swat, which Dobie absolutely understood.
We feel confident that Dobalina would do well in a house or apartment. Despite her little legs, with you by her side she will enjoy walks and with continued training will be a lovely walk-about pal and the talk of the block for that cute face.
Dobalina is a one-of-a-kind girl who is sure to bring you and everyone around you plenty of laughs and love. A girl like her won’t be available for long so if you are even slightly interested, fill out an application or send an email to kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions.

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)

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.
