My story

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

Hi there, I’m Ruby! I’m a playful pup with a big heart and four weeks of professional training under my collar. I’ve learned my manners (even though sometimes I get a little too excited and play rough so supervision and FIRM correction is a must! What can I say? I'm not even 2 yet.) It'd be great if you'd help me keep my skills in tip-top shape as they're very important to me. I’m crate trained and will let you know when I need to go out—no accidents on my watch!

I’m looking for a person who’s as strong-willed as I am and knows a thing or two (okay...maybe 10!) about handling an energetic, sometimes stubborn, power pup like me. Boredom isn't something I'm into, and all of this energy gets me into trouble, so lots of time to burn it is more of a necessity than an option. I have learned so many great commands like sit, down, stay and do great pack walks. I have worked on my impulse control immensely. I aim to please and bond with my person.

I'm great with older kids, though younger one's (say...preteens and below) aren't always my best friends. I need structure, and sometimes I need space, so someone who understands that would be ideal. I do like other dogs as long as they're strong and pack-oriented like me, but cats...well, we don't exactly get along.

I love getting my daily exercise and would make the perfect partner for someone who enjoys staying active (and those car rides...let's just say I'll be the one with the floppy tongue in the back window!). My favorite way to show affection? Laying my head in your lap or keeping a close watch over you—I’ve got a protective side too!

My story started in Rosharon, where I was chasing after a truck, hoping for a friend. The kind people in the truck gave me some food but couldn’t keep me. Thankfully, my foster mom (who works closely with 3LP! ) saved me without even meeting me first. I was so lonely that I wasn't the happiest pup at first, but she showed me so much love and patience that I'm finally ready for a forever family. Sure; it's been a journey figuring out where my piece of the puzzle fits, but I think I'm getting close to finding it.

If you’re ready for a loyal, athletic companion who’ll be by your side through all your adventures, I’m your girl. I can’t wait to meet you!

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation. Three Little Pitties Rescue is on a mission to make a difference. As a nonprofit dog and cat rescue, we work hand in hand with the community to combat this crisis. Our goal is simple: to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing dogs and cats of all breeds 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. Your interest and support mean the world to us and to the animals we serve. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission to give every animal a chance at a happy and loving home!

Our rescue is dedicated to making a difference. With close to 15,000 successful adoptions so far, we're committed to saving lives. We provide individualized socialization, training, and support based on the dog’s needs to ensure a smooth transition for both pet and owner. Plus, our adopters enjoy exclusive perks, including pet insurance, training sessions, and discounts on pet products.

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.
