First things first, how cute is little miss Glitter?! When you look at her pictures, she honestly looks like a big dog but when I first met her I was pleasantly surprised. Glitter is so TINY! It's hard to capture in pictures how tiny she really is. From the very first moment that I met Glitter she was so sweet and gentle. She absolutely adores people and is such a cuddle bug and is so tolerant. She let me pick her up, touch her toes, adjust her collar, and was very tolerant of me trying to adjust her body multiple times to get her glamour shots. Glitter has this sweetness about her that makes you just fall for her instantly. Not only is she sweet, but she's a little sassy firecracker too! You can just see it in her video, the way she struts her stuff like she knows she's all that. That's probably my favorite thing about her. Her personalty!

We think Glitter is a Carolina Dog, a Yellow Lab mix of some sort. Glitter is a rescue, so her exact age and breed are unknown to us and cannot be guaranteed. We estimate her age to be around 2 years old, and she currently weighs in at a snuggly 33 pounds.
Glitter is always happy to see you. She’s a people’s dog, friendly with everyone she meets, very loving, and she loves her person! Glitter will be you little shadow, partner in crime, passenger princess, and ride or die. It's not hard to make a bond with Glitter. She immediately falls in love with a person and is so loyal to them. She knows no stranger and will go up to random strangers (including men) and either give them kisses or give them gentle hugs. She's a snuggly gal who loves bear hugs and her dream place is in bed under the covers snuggling the day away. Yes, she's snuggly and has a calm side to her but she is an active girly at heart. But not overly so. She's loves running around in the yard playing with toys, zooming, bouncing and all of the fun back yard things. With an experienced handler, Glitter is very easy to walk on a leash with and hardly ever pulls. She will pull occasionally or stop to look at a squirrel or other dogs and will need a few corrections and encouragement with treats to regain her focus to continue on her walk. We would love to see Glitter not in an apartment but in a home with a semi-active family that has a backyard and will take her on daily walks, play with her in the backyard, take her on adventures and then snuggle the rest of the day. Glitter is kid friendly as well and will do best with kids 10+ and up. She can be mouthy at times when you get her really excited but it is very gentle. For the most part, you'll find her trying to sneak into your kids bed at night for snuggles.
Glitter is dog friendly and loves to play! Glitter does well with dogs of all sizes, and is small dog friendly! Emphasis on the small dogs! Her love for small dogs was something none of us ever expected. She met Mateo our small dog tester here at the rescue who is approximately 11 lbs and she was in love, she met her best friend that day. Mateo was in love as well and was so comfortable with her. Mateo has been our small dog tester for years and when he is uncomfortable around a dog or if he feels like he is not safe around a dog he will just lay there and pretend like he doesn't exist making himself invisible and that was not the case with Glitter. After about 5 min, he was extremely comfortable with her, playing her, giving her kisses, sharing affection, and rough housing with her. We loved watching how gentle she was when playing with him and how happy she was around him. She found her comfort and her true self around a small dog. It was a match made in heaven, Glitter is a small dogs dog! So if you have a small dog and you want them to have a friend, Glitter is your gal! She has an enthusiastic play style that always brings the party to the play-yard and loves a good wrestle. She would do best in a home with another dog that can match her play style and one that knows when to take breaks in between. She could do well in a multi-dog home, but could also thrive as a solo dog, soaking up all of your affection.
This sweet sunshiney girl is ready for her forever home, and knowing her it will be love at first sight when she meets her family! With any questions, please reach out to her adoption coordinator, whose email is linked below. We are willing to test Glitter 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.

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.)

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.
