My story

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

This sweet girl is Mama Spice. Spice is looking for forever love, in the form of a mellow and kind family. She is kid-friendly, dog-friendly and cat-tolerant, a perfect fit for most animal lovers! She’s a people-lover to her core, an exceptionally loving girl, looking for her special someone(s) to adore!

We believe Spice to be a chihuahua, mini pin mix. Mama Spice is a rescue, so her exact age and breed are unknown to us and cannot be guaranteed. Spice currently weighs in at a pint-sized 22 pounds, and we estimate her age to be around 2 years old.

Spice is a very loving girl, and it’s our favorite thing about her. She loves human affection in any form, she doesn’t mind being picked up and loves to be petted and cuddled. She adores humans of all shapes and sizes, and has done well with children as young as three years old. See her interact with kids for yourself in her video. Spice has lived with children aged 10 and up before, and absolutely loves children.

With other dogs, Spice can be a little aloof at first, but once she knows another dog well- it’s game on. She’s a fun loving and rowdy player with her doggy besties, especially the puppies she shares a foster home with. She is dog-friendly and could live with other dogs. With kitties, Spice is simply disinterested. She is cat-tolerant, and we believe she could live with kitties. See her cat test for yourself in her video!

Mama Spice’s ideal family would be gentle, kind and patient. We recommend a full decompression period for this polite and proper little lady, as new environments can be a bit discombobulating for her. We think she could thrive as an apartment dog, with her quiet, gentle and friendly demeanor.

If you have any questions about Mama Spice or would like us to test her for a specific setting or detail, please be in touch! We can make most anything happen to ensure she is the correct fit for you and your life!

ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/66c36a9087a36a79c10c14b8

We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!

You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!

The adoption fee is $1,000.00 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectible, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship!

We have over 15,000 successful adoptions so far and have excellent Google Reviews:
https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.

Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!

Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.

Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.

The rescue’s hard costs alone for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,120. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that Three Little Pitties Rescue is not government funded.

It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!

Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
