Story
Some people have space heaters under their desks to keep their feet warm- with Ellie, you won’t need that anymore! This precious girl is a total office dog, she loves to lay under our desks here at the rescue, and she’s so warm and friendly with everyone that she meets that she could definitely become a staple at your office! Put this girl on the payroll- department: HR, job title: Morale Booster!
We estimate Ellie’s age to be around 2 years old, just past the terrors of puppyhood but still young and eager to learn. Ellie is believed to be a Great Pyrenees, Lab mix, but she is a rescue so her exact age and breed are unknown to us and cannot be guaranteed.
Meet Ellie here: https://youtu.be/_nUYZvE4gCA?feature=shared
The first thing people notice about Ellie is her beauty, and the second thing people notice about Ellie is her kindness. This sweet girl greets strangers with relaxed body language, a wagging tail, and as many kisses as they’ll allow. She’ll haul the front half of her body up onto the couch to give you her signature half snuggle, and she’ll let you hug and snuggle her. She has such soft fur too- petting Ellie is scientifically proven to reduce stress!
With other dogs, Ellie is just as friendly! She’s relaxed, warm and welcoming with new dogs, and playful too! She’ll sniff a few times, and then bounce over, stretch into a big play bow, and then it’s off to the races! Chase and wrestling are her specialty, but she’s not too rough with the other pups. She has a lightness to her that makes even her most energetic jumps land softly, which is appreciated by the other dogs at the rescue. Ellie could thrive in just about any multi-dog home, she’s a total doggy-daycare type, a polite socialite with her canine companions.
Here at the rescue, Ellie met a kitty. She was perfectly unfazed by their first meet and greet, and the second time around it only got cuter- Ellie gave our house cat some forehead kisses! We think Ellie would be perfectly fine living in a home with a dog-savvy kitty.
Ellie has many of the “good dog” skills down already, she has good house manners and doesn’t pull too much on leash. She is still learning her leash manners, and with a little more polishing she’ll be a perfect walking companion in no time. Ellie also has a wonderfully balanced energy level that allows her to both play-play-play outside and settle quickly for a nap once inside.
Ellie does ask that we let her potential adopters know that she is scared of passing cars, this is true for many rescue dogs but it is worth mentioning that Ellie handles that stress incredibly well. She doesn’t get grumpy with humans or other dogs because of it, she doesn’t run away or pancake to the ground- she’s a very good and well mannered girl! Because of this, we think she would be happier in a home in a suburban or rural area- no “big city life” for this soft and easy going girl.
Ellie is ready for her happily ever after! She could do well in a multi-dog home, or as your one and only. She could live with dog-savvy kitties! While we haven’t seen her with kids just yet, we think Ellie could make a good family dog for a home with kids over 5. We do not recommend Ellie for a home with dogs under twenty pounds. We believe Ellie would be happier in a house than in an apartment. Ellie will require a family that is dedicated and willing to follow our standard decompression protocol. We are willing to test Ellie with anything you need us to in order to ensure he is the perfect match for you! We can make most anything happen! Just let us know.

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)!

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.
