Ready to sweeten your days? Tootsie Roll is here to melt your heart! With a playful demeanor and an infectious smile, Tootsie is easy to love and ready for her forever family.
Tootsie Roll is estimated to be around 3 years old, and we believe she’s a pit bull, Staffordshire terrier mix. She is a rescue, so these are just our best-educated-guesses. Tootsie currently weighs in at a squishy 74 pounds, her foster mom lovingly acknowledges that “she could drop a dress size.” She’s a low to medium energy dog, friendly with everyone she meets, just a perfect little companion pittie looking for forever love.

Tootsie is perhaps one of the most well loved foster dogs on the planet, she has resided in her foster home for quite some time now and she lives like a welcome guest. She intermingles with her foster mom’s personal dogs, “Tootsie has always gotten along with the other dogs in my home. They are a 1/4 of her size though (weenie dogs).” She adds, “My extended family and their Goldendoodle came to stay after hurricane Beryl hit and Toots was the perfect co-hostess.” Her foster mom reports that she’s wonderful with other animals as well- “she enjoys the company of farm animals such as horses, goats, chickens and rabbits should there ever be a need for that skill!” Tootsie shares toys and treats graciously with her foster siblings. Here at the rescue, Tootsie was amazing with the new rescue dogs that she met, and unfazed seeing horses and donkeys. We think Tootsie would do great in a home with other mellow, easy going dogs like herself.
In her foster home, Tootsie has proven her house manners! She seems to be potty trained and doesn’t have indoor accidents in her foster home. She does well in her crate, and will get in for a treat! Tootsie is a huge fan of the couch, and she adores soft and comfy dog beds, but her favorite place to sleep is in bed with her pawrents! Tootsie is polite and will wait until she’s invited- the first time. She’s such a snuggle bug.
Tootsie’s foster mom writes, “She is so friendly and gentle with every person she meets. Her circle of friends include a 2 year old toddler and a 93 year old great grandpa. and greets people with a whole body wiggle” We believe that Tootsie could do well as a family dog, she would love to have some kids around! Tootsie doesn’t jump or push, she’s a polite and gentle girl.
Tootsie loves to play but she is also a skilled lounger. Tile, hardwood, carpet, grass, sidewalks, on top of her person, are all Tootsie approved relaxation stations. Tootsie’s favorite hobbies are sunbathing, car rides, jaunts around the neighborhood with her humans. She’s a simple, easy to please girl. She asked us to include that she really loves belly rubs!
Tootsie is such a good girl, and so much love and training has been poured into her already. This sweet girl has her basic commands down pat, she’s good on leash and so respectful. Meeting Tootsie for the first time is truly magical, she’s such a happy and loving girl. Tootsie has waited far too long already, she’s ready for her forever home! She’s ready to meet you, and knowing her, it will be love at first sight!
We think Tootsie would do well as a family dog, or as a companion dog to just about anyone with good belly rubbing skills. Tootsie is not recommended for a home with kitties. We think she would be a good fit for an apartment considering how quiet and friendly she is. She could make an amazing family dog- kids love her! We are willing to test Tootsie 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.

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!

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.
