Story
Who is this gorgeous fluffball, you ask?? Meet Mike Wazowski! This adorable fluffy guy is 21 pounds— tiny!! He’s approx 1 year old and has the most unique look— like a miniature Border Collie mixed with some sort of small breed— we see a glimpse of possible Dachshund, but in rescue it's always a guess! This will make for a fun DNA reveal partyyy!!
This dog is from a part of the US where puppies are regularly euthanized. So, this dog needs you! If you choose a dog from this rescue, it saves their life AND it also allows us to save the life of another in its place.
Watch Mike's video here:
You just have to meet Mike once to know this little guy is something special. Of course you will see his one perfect eye and his other good-but-less-than-perfect eye, but it doesn't seem to slow this happy fellow down in the slightest. In fact, our Vet Techs think that Mike still has some vision out of his left eye, so it shows just how resilient and adaptable this impressive fluffy fellow truly is.
And he's not just resilient - this gorgeous little guy is thriving! Mike is living his best doggo life, and enjoying it to the fullest. You can tell because he always seems to be wearing a joyful happy smile (with his tongue hanging out) and wagging his fluffy tail. Mike loves to meet new people and has little to no stranger danger - everyone has the potential to be his best buddy, lol. He is great around other dogs, respectfully approaching them to sniff and backing away quickly and redirecting if they show any aversion. Mike certainly seems highly attuned to everyone and everything around him - he's such an impressive little guy!
Of course, we have to mention how incredibly soft and snuggly Mike is. You will find yourself petting and snuggling him whenever possible, and Mike is surely ok with all the love and affection you have to give him! He is gentle when taking treats and quick to offer kisses in return for your attention. Mike is already great on leash and would enjoy someone that could take him on walks to explore the world and meet new friends. This handsome boy promises to be your perfect (paw-fect) pal!

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!

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.

Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family

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.
