She is a sweet girl loves cuddles and lays around with my 6yr old all the time. Unfortunately my son can’t take her with him when he moves and we don’t have the time she deserves.

Story
Hope Honeyheart is the sweetest girl! She’s quiet, mellow and calm, making for a perfect little work from home companion, or a member of a quiet, calm household. She’s incredibly loving with her favorite people and so friendly with strangers, a lovebug through and through. We think that Hope may be a Labrador, Pit Bull mix, but she is a rescue, so her exact age and breed are unknown and cannot be guaranteed. Hope is currently estimated to be around one year old, and she currently weighs in at a soft and snuggly 40 pounds. Watch Hope here: https://youtu.be/tY8yvvf-ZAw?si=QvVb4CKLO27W9Hwz Hope is a sweet girl, but she can be a little bit shy in new environments for a moment or two. A few pets and a soft voice win her over quickly. Hope adores new friends, and greets every stranger with a tail wag. With her favorite humans, Hope is a total Velcro dog. She trots after her favorite people, eager to accompany them wherever they may be headed. She loves to be next to her humans, or even in their laps if they’ll allow it! Hope is remarkably quiet, and we have yet to hear her bark here at the rescue. Hope is extremely easy-going, and her quiet demeanor will make her a wonderful companion dog for a quiet lifestyle. Hope is gentle and good on leash, still polishing her leash skills, but with a little more practice she will be an excellent walking companion. She auto-sits for treats, and takes treats so gently. She’s very food motivated, meaning that further training will be enjoyable for both of you. Hope is very dog friendly, and is currently fostered with multiple doggy-siblings. Hope plays so well with others. We believe Hope will do best in a household with other dogs, and will do best with a polite doggy brother. Here at the rescue, Hope was cat tested, and we believe her to be cat tolerant. She could live with dog savvy kitties. See her cat test for yourself in her video. Hope’s perfect home would have at least one loving human to adore her, and a doggy friend to help her feel more comfortable. Hope would prefer a home with a back yard, or a home with minimal traffic around it, as she prefers calmer environments. We think Hope would do well as a family dog, with older kids that can be respectful of her boundaries. Hope is a sweet girl, but we do think it may take her some time to settle in and bond with her new family, because she is such a sensitive and soft girl. We hope that her forever family will give her the time and space she needs to properly decompress upon her arrival. Save the “welcome home” party for a later date, instead welcome Hope home with softness and sweetness, and she will love you endlessly for it. With any questions, please reach out to her adoption coordinator, whose email is linked below. We are willing to test Hope 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.

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 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 (excluding transport) 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 $1,368. 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 adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. It doesn’t stop there!

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!

Story
I don’t know what’s more to love! She’s squishy in all the right places, wiggly in all the best ways, gentle as can be, and smiles bigger than you can imagine. Luna Lulu is the whole package! She lights up a room with her energy and can make anyone’s days 100x better. She has something so special about her that makes you instantly fall in love. Her personality and energy is contagious. You can see it for yourself when you watch her video. When she looks at you through the camera with that big ole pitty smile, pay attention to how that made you feel and ask yourself, “did I just instantly feel way happier because this dog smiled at me?”. The answer to your question is 100% without a doubt, yes. That’s exactly what happens and that’s what we mean by her personality and energy is contagious. Get ready to fall in love: https://youtu.be/W-Py-ZO9CLU Lulu Luna is an absolute sweet heart! She loves life and you can see it in everything she does. Lulu loves to be around people. She’s a people’s dog down to her core, people make her the happiest. Luna is wonderfully attentive to her person and if you have treats, that is one of the quickest way to this girls heart. Although it doesn’t take much from the get go. She really lights up when she feels your gaze fall on her, she will turn that charm on so fast and next thing you know, you’re in love! Its exactly what happened to me. She gave me the eyes, the love, and then hit me with a sit, down, shake combo and we almost ran away together. It doesn’t matter if she has known you her whole life or if she just met you seconds ago, she already loves you. Lulu Luna is a beautiful brindle pittie mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 51 lbs of pure love and wiggles. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Lulu is very smart, loves to learn things and is a sucker for treats which will make any future training with her that much more enjoyable. She already comes with a few tricks up her sleeve that she has learned such as sit, shake, lay down and will continue to learn new and cool tricks that she can show off until her forever family finds her. You’ll constantly catch her checking in with her handler listening for the next mark. She can be a little stubborn at times and doesn’t want to listen (typical diva) but with a few treats and consistency she’ll catch on quickly. Luna loves to go on walks and going on adventures through the trails where she can smell all the smells and enjoy the great outdoors. She walks like a dream on a special training leash that we like to use at the rescue called a gentle leader. Which is essentially just an extra training tool that helps her be the best doggy citizen that we know she is. She is crate trained, potty trained, has great house manners, takes treats gently, is not destructive in the home and loves toys! She can entertain herself for hours with some toys. She likes to toss them up in the air and tries to catch them. It’s very entertaining to watch. Luna's love even extends to children. She loves kids and lights up when she is around them. Not only does she love kids but she is also very tolerant with physical touch and even lets little ones rest their head on her. She also doesn’t mind when kids are running around her, yelling, playing with toys or any of the scenarios that comes with having kids, including tantrums and crying fits. Luna has a lot of love to give and she will shower your little ones with love too. She does get excited from time to time and may knock over the smaller humans that are still growing into their legs but if you have kids that are use to big dogs and use to being loved on, your kids are going absolutely LOVE Luna. Once her initial excitement passes, Luna will be snuggling on the couch with your little ones, play dress up, and will be the best guest to have around for those exclusive private tea parties kids like to throw. Luna loves to be outside and would do best in a home with a backyard where she can play with her toys, romp around, and sunbathe during the nice summer days. She’s the perfect companion to have around for patio cookouts with friends and family, if you have some trails you’re wanting to explore she’s already in the car sitting next to you as your passenger princess ready for an adventure. Luna also isn’t opposed to those cozy lazy days either. She’s very affectionate and loves to cuddle up next to you on the couch. She really is open to anything as long as she’s with her people she’s happy. Luna does need to be the only animal in the home but she has enough personality and love for multiple dogs so we don’t believe you’ll ever be short on affection or companionship from this girly. We are willing to test Luna Lulu with anything you need us to in order to ensure it’s the perfect match for you! We can make anything happen! Just let us know If you have any questions or would like us to explore how Luna handles any other situation or circumstance, email kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org- we are here to help!

Story
Banjo here is a family man, the type that likes a walk in the morning to start the day off right followed by a down-on-the floor play session with the kids. We love those guys! Sure he is a dog and can’t pay the bills but he promises to support the family with all the love, fun, and memory making anyone could ask for. Take a look and learn more about him- https://youtu.be/q9aNCpOKo00 Banjo just barely made it in to the infamous, itty-bitty-pitty club, he is small but more like sleek or sporty. I think we will start a new club called the nifty-fifty-pitty club just for Banjo- he weighs 50 lbs and wants to live for 50 years so he is taking care of himself. This handsome guy has been fortunate to spend his time waiting for his adoption day in a loving foster home, giving him a head start on becoming an excellent house dog. Banjo’s foster family has been dedicated to his continued growth and improvement, they are his #1 fans and have poured that love into making sure he is ready to be a wonderful pet. From ensuring he is house and crate trained to his leash walking skills, they are proud of where he is at and truly feel he is ready to fly. Living in a home with kids has ensured that Banjo understands sharing toys gently and the importance of keeping all his paws on the ground when greeting someone, especially little ones. He can still get a little loose when he plays so older kids, steady on their feet would be best. That sleek figure of his is swift and we all know that a toddlers sea legs get blown over by the wind so easily. Being a toy lover and treat motivated translates into a highly trainable, self entertaining guy, two things worth their weight in gold for a dog lover. Plus, he learns fast! Getting his attention for a training session doesn’t take any work, say his name, ask him to sit, show him a treat and there you go. Honestly, you don’t even need the treat- it just helps. He has mastered sit and wait, which are great tools when its time to put a leash on for a walk. Once he hits the sidewalk he is in the zone, ready to get those steps in! He is friendly to people but has worked hard to not let them distract him if he hasn’t been given permission to greet them. If you’re at a cafe relaxing though, his gorgeous galaxy coat and expressive ears are sure to draw a few people over wanting to say hi. Banjo is going to make a wonderful companion and thanks to his size and quiet nature he is a great candidate for apartment/townhouse living. He isn’t going to be barking at every sound in the hallway or when you leave for work. No barking in the kennel here. Wait, theres more! He is also great in the car! Whether he is in the mood to look out the window or its nap-time, he will be right where you put him, enjoying himself. Banjo is ready for the fur-ever role of your best boy. Ready to enjoy walks together and create a load of wonderful memories, playing and exploring together! Please email : Kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions.

Story
One version of Shirley Temple is the innocently charming, fancy sweet drink loved by kids, of course named after an adorable actress. This Shirley Temple is just as innocent and sweet! There is something about her that exudes an innocence, in the way a little kid is curious but respects a stern no when needed, she is at the perfect age for training and shaping. While at the rescue she will work on lots of skills but the real magic happens when they get home. Being welcomed into a home and family looks good on any dog but it really does something amazing to a rescue dog. So imagine what all her sweet enthusiasm for play, adoring attention, and eagerness to learn is going to amount to! An already great dog with the beauty of a loving family is really special to witness, even better to know personally. Shirley was fortunate to have a foster home during her formative puppy months and that has served her well. She is gentle, has great house manners, and is crate trained. She can occasionally get a bit vocal in her crate if you are near or other animals are out having fun and she feels left out. It all comes from a sweet place, she wants to play too! Shirley would benefit from a home with a playful dog, maybe even a bit older, who she could “shadow” for a few weeks to really take notes on the ins and outs of being a house dog. A mentor, but who also likes to play! A yard for bouncing around in and exploring would be dreamy! If you have a cat, no need to worry here, Shirley is so respectful of cats. Even though she is curious she keeps a respectful distance and wouldn’t dare even think about trying to chase or be pushy with a cat. We love a respectful dog! Since she's still a young pup, Shirley will thrive with a family ready to continue socializing and training her to be the best and most well-rounded dog she can be. Leash skills, greeting people, navigating public spaces, all the best skills are built on training and practice no matter how old a new dog is. She comes ready to learn and ready to become your walking buddy, hiking partner, passenger princess, and so much more! So go on and order a Shirley Temple! Kisses are included for no additional charge!

While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. It doesn’t stop there!

Story
Millie is one of those dogs that can put a smile on just about anyone’s face. She’s just that kind of girl- infectiously happy, full of personality, silly and sweet in equal parts. She’s practically perfect. She’s a dog that will truly feel like a family member, you’ll forget what life was like without Millie, and wonder how you survived! This sweet girl is ready for her forever home, and she so deserves it. Meet Millie here: https://youtu.be/zJjw-LzvCTg?feature=shared The cutest thing about Millie is her huge, beautiful pittie smile, but the first thing you’ll notice about her is her breathtaking golden eyes. We think Millie is a Staffordshire Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier mix, but she is a rescue so this is just our best guess. She’s currently estimated to be around 3 years old, and she weighs in at 60 pounds. Don’t worry though, this pretty pittie girl knows she’s still a lap dog. Millie is amazing with children, she would make a great family dog. She is fostered in a home with kids under ten! She has met kids as young as three years old, and it’s magical to watch her interact with them. She’s steadfastly confident, not flinching at the rambunctiousness of toddlers, with no reaction to kicking feet or pushing hands. She’s gentle and sweet, she keeps her paws to herself and doesn’t jump on little ones. She has an understanding of children that will make her such a wonderful family dog. Be sure to watch her video to see her interact with our three year old volunteer, Kobe. Kids love Millie too- she’s interactive with them and loves to play ball. She can catch treats in her mouth too, which is fun for little ones and adults alike! Currently, Millie resides in a loving foster home with her devoted foster pawrents, their kids and two other large dogs. Millie gets along famously with her canine foster siblings, and sleeps on the floor, on dog beds with them at night. She likes to gently play with them indoors, lazily but happily keeping each other company. Outside, she likes to romp and play, but knows how to take breaks. Here at the rescue, Millie is one of our favorite dogs to take into playgroups because of her balanced energy around other dogs. One of our on-site trainers comments that she loves Millie because she can pet Millie in groups, she doesn’t get jealous and shares affection well with other dogs. She adds that Millie can often be found lying down in the play yard, bringing some calm to the chaos. Millie has so many “great dog” skills already, but she’s also food motivated, and praise motivated, making further training enjoyable and rewarding for both of you. Millie is already pretty good on leash, and with a little polishing she’ll be a perfect walking companion in no time. She sits on command, knows how to catch treats, and her foster mom reports that she’s crate and potty trained. Here at the rescue, with a little push, she gets into her crate with no issue, she’s quiet and well behaved in her crate, and doesn’t whine to be let out. She loads up into the car on her own, with excitement, and settles in the backseat. She’s a total toy lover, a snuggly girl, a truly great dog. Millie is such a joyful and vibrant girl, she’s an all natural anti-depressant, here to brighten your days. One of our staff members lovingly calls her a “cheerleader type” with the goofy, happy energy she brings to the rescue. We would be remiss not to mention her soft and mellow side, this girl is silly and playful but she’s also a total snuggle bug. She’s a couch potato in her heart of hearts, she loves to nap near her foster mom. She’s a back sleeper though, splayed out with all four paws in the air, so even her naps are sort of silly. Millie is ready to come home with you! Her perfect home offers a sunny backyard to sunbathe and romp around in. She requests unlimited peanut butter, though we’ll leave that to your discretion. She thrives with doggy siblings, but she’s people-oriented enough to be your only child. Millie would make a phenomenal family dog, the “first rescue dog” your kids talk about for the rest of their days. Millie is also a pro in the car, and friendly with everyone she meets, so taking her out and about on adventures will be a breeze. We are willing to test Millie 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.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Story
This heart-stealing super-cutie is named Thomas. We love Thomas because he’s a total goofball, a very people-focused dog, so loving, amazing with other dogs, great at playing fetch, and kid friendly! He’s a great office companion too, and loves to lay on the floor and hang out while we work on our laptops. He’s a dreamy dog with so much love to give, ready for his forever family. We believe that Thomas is around 2 years old, and a Pittie, retriever mix of some sort. Breed-wise, he’s really the best of both worlds. The retriever in him brings us a fun-loving fetch boy, and the pittie DNA brings a healthy dose of that people-loving, kid-loving, lap-dog-lifestyle. Thomas weighs in at a snuggly 63 pounds, carrying most of that weight in his long legs and big ears. Learn more about Thomas here: Thomas is a people’s dog, through and through. He craves human connection like no other, and gets so much fulfillment from just coexisting with humans. He is so gentle with people, no hard tail whacks or pushy paws. Thomas is a snuggle bug and a big kisser, prepare to receive so much affection. Thomas is great with kids, and has spent time with children ages 3 to 13, getting along famously with all of them. Thomas has excellent house manners, he loves his couch time, and doesn’t have indoor accidents. With other dogs, Thomas is a wonderful friend and an enthusiastic player. He will do well with doggy-siblings! He reads dog body language exceptionally well, and is so respectful of other dogs. Thomas loves to play with a dog who can chase, and keep up with him. His current foster has a female staffie named Maggie that he loves to floor wrestle with. Thomas is super smart, treat motivated and highly trainable. He knows a handful of commands already, “sit,” “down,” and of course, “fetch,” among others. Thomas is a gentle treat taker too, so training him will be enjoyable for both of you. Thomas is a bit of a puller on a normal leash, so our behavior team has trained him to walk on a gentle lead. This is an alternative to a leash that fits dogs more like a horse halter, and Thomas walks perfectly this way. When you adopt Thomas, we’ll be sure to send a gentle lead home with you, included in your adoption fee! An ideal home for Thomas that doesn't have lot in traffic in and out. He definitely likes to let people know that he is there when they knock at the door. We recommend a feline-free home for Thomas as he was a little too interested in our house cat here at the rescue. Thomas loves being outside, and loves to zoom, so we do recommend a fenced yard for Thomas. If you have any questions about Thomas or would like us to test him for a specific setting or detail, please be in touch! We can make most anything happen to ensure he is the correct fit for you and your life! Please email cynthia@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions.
