Story
Meet Chicken, the ultimate family dog ready to bring joy and cuddles to your home! This sweet girl absolutely adores kids. She’s all about gentle snuggles, quiet companionship, and delightful happy dance. Just take a look at her heartwarming couch session with a three-year-old: Watch here- https://youtu.be/JuFpUL9Vne8?si=_QWxEaQP6Rg4f7gH Recently, Chicken met a five-year-old boy at the park, and her eyes lit up the moment he petted her. Her tail wagged like it was her birthday! See the magic here! Watch her video here: https://youtu.be/GKQsiN3-c9w?si=6BFHCePXqFsWp44L What truly sets Chicken apart is her amazing ability to connect with her humans. She walks beautifully at your side, ready to shower you with kisses or lean in for affection. With her excellent recall, she'll come trotting over just for a little love. When she met my five-year-old son, she was totally relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed his attention. Chicken is also an active girl who thrives on outdoor adventures. Whether you enjoy jogging, biking, or hiking, she’s the perfect companion. At around 7 years old, she still has plenty of pep in her step! But don’t let her age fool you; her favorite pastime is curling up on the couch with you. She adores soft blankets and is more than happy to share her space with other dogs. This beautiful girl loves wading in the river, making her the ideal adventure buddy for family outings. At the park, she’s a model citizen—well-behaved and a dream in the car! Chicken Nugget is confident and mature, getting along well with other dogs. While she may not be overly playful, she’d be thrilled to have a calm canine companion. Her current foster has a male Staffordshire terrier, and they love lounging together on the bed. Currently in Texas, Chicken is ready for a virtual meet-and-greet! If you have any questions about this charming girl, we’re here to help. Don’t miss your chance to welcome Chicken Nugget into your family—she’s ready to make your home a little cozier and a lot more fun! 🐾❤️ Application link: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/654cfc1690b03684dc0412b4 Please email Jessicak@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions.

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 staff members, eager to accompany them to 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 an expressive girl, using her tail, eyebrows and ears to communicate clearly with us human folk. While she’s communicative, she’s not talkative! 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 would love to see Hope adopted into a household with other dogs, our behavior team recommends 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. Hope is such a good girl, and she has waited far too long for her forever family. Don’t make Hope wait another day, apply today. 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.

Story
Miss Piggy is a vivacious pup who is loving and happy all the time. She adores people of all shapes and sizes. She always wants to give kisses, be pet and cuddled and when she really trusts you, she is happy to accept belly rubs. She is perfect in the bath and with getting her nails done. She has played with dogs before but does better with quieter pups around her size. She is crate trained and has never had an accident outside of her kennel. She is a great co-pilot and mostly will stay in the back seat unless we are parked or at a red light. She likes to stand on the console to see what’s going on. But once we move she does go back without having to be asked. She does well in drive thru windows. She is silly and is in a perpetual state of zoomies when she is with people. Fun personality traits are she lives for costumes and likes to snort when sniffing which is how she got her name! She also is a HUGE fan of tug-of-war and does not shred toys or bedding. She knows basic commands such as sit, place, wait, down and door manners. She is very food motivated and eager to please!

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. Lulu Luna 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?si=KHwCtuyOYjn0rzdp 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, big and small. People make her the happiest. Luna is wonderfully attentive to her person and if you have treats, that is 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 strong handler and consistency she’ll catch on quickly. Luna also 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 is also an angel around young 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. As a rule of thumb, all dogs should always be supervised around young children. Dog safety is very important and it’s important to teach good dog safety and boundaries for happy relationships with both kids and dogs. 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!

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 ad 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!

Opie does not like shots... but who does. This guy is enjoyable to hang out with. He really loves having a good bum scratch. He has some training under his belt, but could use more. He enjoys following his nose, so fencing is a must for this guy. He sits for harnessing and walks well on leash. He is a fantastic, energetic boy after he gets used to a new person. He has the typical stranger danger of bully breeds, but warms up when given time.

Marian is a 1-year-old black and white pittie mix with a zest for life and a heart full of love! 💖 Whether it’s long walks on the beach, hiking, or just splashing around in the sprinkler, Marian is ready to be your partner in all things fun and adventurous! Marian is an incredibly good girl who gets along wonderfully with kids, cats, dogs, and even chickens! She loves watching the chickens throughout the day and being gentle with everyone around her. Marian is quiet and peaceful, enjoying tranquility but also loving playtime, especially with kids. Her foster family says she’s a darling, looking for her forever family to share love and joy with. Marian dreams of a family with kids who want to play and a yard where she can run and explore. She enjoys pack walks with her seven foster mates and does great with leash greetings in the yard. Marian is working on her crate training and loves to tuck herself into her crate with her toys or curl up for a rest. She gets along famously with all the dogs in her foster home, especially the Chihuahua! While she needs a bit of leash work, Marian corrects easily and loves learning new things. When it comes to cats, Marian had a little interest in our resident cat at first, but once he jumped up into the cat tree, she let it go. At home, she has no interest in the cats and even gets bullied by a new one without reacting. 🐾 Marian is still a young pup, so she needs a family ready to commit to training, socialization, and all the fun (and chaos) that comes with puppyhood. Her new family will need to continue with potty and crate training and daily exercise. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy. Marian is a quick learner eager to master new skills every day. Her intelligence and willingness to please make her a joy to train. She’s perfect for walks, hikes, and showing off around the neighbourhood. Marian is a star in the making! 🌟 Ready to make memories and share endless adventures? Adopt Marian and embark on a journey filled with fun, love, and joy! 🐾💕 https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/66a290a863fe2b6f240eaec6 Please email elizabethbower@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions.

Story
Meet Rio, a pocket sized boxer mix that is attentive and loyal to people. Rio is a well-behaved dog who walks beautifully on a leash, needing only minimal corrections. He’s people-focused, often checking in with his handler during walks and around other dogs. He would love to go on hiking adventures or walks around the neighborhood. Rio could live in apartment due to his smart size and leash skills. But a home with a yard to roam in would be enjoyable for him too! Rio is gentle and relaxed, accepting touch with ease and even allowing himself to be picked up and carried without fuss. He does well with a quick verbal correction and shows no signs of resource guarding affection. While he gets along fine with cats when they’re on the ground, he may chase them if they jump onto high surfaces, so a cat-free home would be ideal. Rio is best suited for a home with a medium to low-energy dog or with a family where he can enjoy being both independent and affectionate. He would do well with kids and would make a great family dog! If you're looking for a loyal and attentive companion, Rio might just be the perfect match for you!

Story
Kobi is a gentle soul who may initially be a bit reserved but opens up quickly once he feels secure. Though he can be shy outside his comfort zone, he walks well on a leash and adjusts easily to gentle corrections- but he does need a strong handler on walks. Kobi has lived with other dogs large and small. He prefers the ladies and submissive males. Unfortunately, Kobi does not get along with cats, as his curiosity tends to get the best of him in those situations. He can enjoy the company of goats and chickens, with whom he has shown friendliness. Adventures? Kobi loves car rides and loads and unloads with ease! He stands on the seat greeting you (he will need to be buckled in so he doesn’t end up in your lap). Kobi enjoys listening to music in the car and will even let you pick the radio station! He also loves golf cart rides! Kobi’s ideal home would be a peaceful environment with a yard to run around. Chasing sticks is a favorite pastime of his- but he’s not really a fan of toys. When he wants the attention of his humans he will bark, making him a poor candidate for an apartment! If this sweet and loyal older gentleman sounds like he could be your new best friend, apply below and a coordinator will reach out to see if you are a match!

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! The adoption fee is $775.00 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectible, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship! We have over 15,000 successful adoptions so far and have excellent Google Reviews: 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. It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS: Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family Discounts on Embark DNA test kit- $30 off of Breed ID test & $50 off of Breed ID plus Health test 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion A free private online dog training session with GoodPup, plus low pricing for future sessions 70% off of your first order of Fetch, a delicious PNW based fresh dog meatballs subscription Coupons for a fun visit to Petco 20% off of Dr. Cuddles pet first aid and hygiene solutions Discounted heartworm, flea prevention, and monthly dewormer Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup! 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. https://www.threelittlepittiesrescue.org/ https://www.facebook.com/threelittlepittiesrescue https://www.instagram.com/threelittlepittiesrescue Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
