My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sunflower here is the latest member in the ittie-bittie-pittie club! Welcome Sunflower! This apricot-colored, 38-pound bundle of joy is estimated to be just over a year old. Though she’s still young, her enthusiasm for life is evident in everything she does, whether it’s learning new commands or simply experiencing everyday moments for the first time. Despite her visible playfulness, Sunflower is surprisingly gentle—she has a way of expressing her excitement without overwhelming those around her, which we think is a sign of her remarkable awareness and connection to people. Take a look at her in action and then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/FdEzzInPuyY


Given she is a rescue we cannot guarantee her age of breed, but observation and experience show us a girl who is the prime age to learn any and everything! On top of that, you will get to witness her do/experience all of her firsts! She has never been on a hike but we know she is going to love it and the joy you will feel watching her light up on a trail is going to be beyond heartwarming. Now transfer that same joy to everything- learning fetch, going camping/running/swimming… so much to experience together! There is so much enthusiasm in her for everything, simply because it is all new, she is in awe, ready to enjoy and experience this one wild life!

When meeting new dogs, Sunflower’s friendly playfulness is on display. While her playful energy can be a bit intense for some dogs, mostly the older and less playful, she has shown a remarkable ability to respect dogs with varying energy levels, giving space when needed, but joining in when it’s time for fun.
Sunflower is a great candidate for a multi-dog household. She’s been so fortunate to experience home life in a foster home with two other dogs and a cat! She loves playtime but equally enjoys wandering around the garden, exploring by her self. Having met several cats we can see that Sunflower is cat-tolerant, having only shown us a cautious respect for them, but her playful nature would likely show itself in a home with a cat she has grown comfortable with. Though she is mostly calm around cats, her curiosity and playfulness could lead to chasing. Slow introduction and consistent supervision will be key for anyone looking to blend her into a home with feline companions.

Sunflower’s adaptability is equally impressive with people. She quickly settled into the routine of her foster home and showed an affectionate and snuggle-bug side once she got the hang of things. She is very attentive, sensitive to corrections and responds well to gentle guidance, especially if treats are involved, which has shown what a fast learner she is! Her responsiveness to training makes it clear she’ll quickly catch on to the rules of your house, with just a little initial structure and support.

Sunflower is an affectionate, loyal companion who is eager to learn and experience life to the fullest. Her future family will not only gain a playful, fun-loving dog but also one who is devoted and full of love. With continued training and guidance, she’s sure to blossom into an even more wonderful addition. If you think Sunflower could be the perfect fit for you, please reach out to Kristin@ThreeLittlePittiesRescue.org , or apply via the adoption link-

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 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.
