This precious little lady is named Leslie. Leslie is a senior girl, estimated to be around 8 years old, seeking a warm and relaxing retirement! She’s kid-friendly, dog friendly and cat tolerant and could easily fit in in any animal lover’s home. She’s good on leash, gentle and quiet, and could live in an apartment. We think Leslie would make a wonderful companion dog for a retired couple that can pamper her.
We think Leslie is a chihuahua mix of some sort. Leslie is a rescue, so her exact age and breed are unknown to us and cannot be guaranteed. She does look like an itty bitty mini heeler with her snowy senior fur, but we haven’t tested her DNA!

With other dogs, Leslie is an absolute lady. Here at the rescue, we watched her tolerate our pushiest of puppies, remaining kind while they harassed her for play. Leslie is currently fostered with 5 other dogs, ranging in size from 8 lbs to 80! She’s a perfect sweetheart with other dogs, but we don’t think she requires doggy siblings. This girl could fit right into your pack, or thrive as an only child, being spoiled rotten in her golden years.
Leslie is cat tolerant, and currently lives in a foster home with multiple kitties. Here at the rescue, Leslie has been cat tested. She was relaxed and easy going with our house cat Tom, see her cat test for yourself in her video.
Leslie is incredibly welcoming, loving and loyal. She’s friendly with everyone she meets, and exceptionally tolerant. Leslie is great with kids and has spent time with kids of all ages in her foster home. Here at the rescue, Leslie met a three year old and did very well with him!
Leslie is such a good girl. She has wonderful house manners, and didn’t have any indoor accidents here at the rescue! She’s easy on leash and friendly with new people- she could do wonderfully out and about with you! Leslie is well behaved in the car, she unloads and loads all by herself.
Leslie would love to live with a retired couple looking for a companion dog. She’s just looking for a soft place to land, and hopefully some pampering in her golden years. She could also make an easy little family dog, with respectful kids! We think she could do well in any type of home- be it an apartment, townhome, condo, or house.
With any questions, please reach out to her adoption coordinator, whose email is linked below. We are willing to test Leslie with anything you need us to in order to ensure she’s the perfect match for you! We can make most anything happen! Just let us know.
Please email kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions.
ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6709905424864bc926031b64
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 $825.00 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!

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.

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.
