Story
Lover girl Adelaide Cupcake, a well-behaved and universally loved GOOD DOG, kid-friendly, great with dogs of all sizes, so social, funny and charming! Adelaide has never met a stranger, she’s food-motivated, eager to please and very obedient. She’s a hugger, and an exuberant kisser. She moonlights as a comedian, with her many funny faces, her goofy gait, and her massive, infectious smile! SUCH a good girl.
Adelaide is a pittie mix, approximately 5 years old and 73 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. We can guarantee that Adelaide is 100% good girl and will bring so much love, joy and adventure into your life.
Adelaide has such a goofy and spirited personality, she can catch treats in her mouth and understands exactly how to make us humans laugh. She’s such a good, sweet girl, all about spreading love and happiness. She absolutely loves water. When we fill up the baby pool, she wants to stick her head in the water hose and play. Her absolute favorite thing is riding in the car, though. She loves to load up and go for rides, Adelaide’s favorite outing is a coffee shop date, she loves her pup cups! She also loves park dates that include playing ball, catching treats in the air, and meeting other hikers on the trail! She’s the BEST car rider!!
She sleeps all night in her crate like a good girl and she’s potty trained and well behaved in the house. Adelaide has great house manners, and loves to snuggle, sit in your lap, or get belly rubs. Adelaide is such an affectionate and loving girl. We put a hat and tee shirt on her and she seemed to like them. She kept the hat on for a long time! Adelaide can often be found wearing her pony-bead necklaces- custom made jewelry gifted to her by her teenage foster “cousin.”
Adelaide can be a teeny tiny bit hesitant to open up to new people, but she’s very easily won over with a couple treats and sweet pets. Once Adelaide has deemed you one of “her people,” you have a friend for life. Adelaide recognizes people she’s met, even just briefly, immediately and is always excited for the reunion. Such a good, loyal girl. With kids, Adelaide is a big house hippo and can sometimes be “a lot” for kids that aren’t used to big beefy goofy pittie types. Adelaide is incredibly sweet with them though, giving gentle kisses and playing games to their hearts content. Adelaide is beloved by so many kids, both here at the rescue, and within her foster family.
She is dog friendly and will play with her doggy friends for short periods of time but most of the time she is off doing her own thing or loving on any human around her. She would do best with other dogs that are moderately playful like her, but will respect when Adelaide when she doesn't want to play. Adelaide does so well with small dogs, and seems to prefer their company! She is currently living in a foster home with multiple small dogs.
Adelaide knows a few basic commands, she’s very intelligent, treat motivated, and loyal, which will make training her further enjoyable for both of you. Adelaide knows to auto-sit for treats and knows how to catch treats in her mouth. Adelaide came into rescue without much leash training, and loved to pull on leash- our behavior team trained Adelaide to walk on a gentle leader, a special type of leash that uses doggy psychology to make walks more enjoyable for both of you. When you take Adelaide home, we’ll be sure to send a gentle leader with you, so she can put her best foot forward on your first walk together! Adelaide is suuuch a good girl and a rescue favorite.
“She is the best snuggler… ever. She will completely lay on top of me when I’m on the couch. She has the cutest personality. She gets the zoomies and it’s hilarious! She only has one bad thing about her really…..she’s a counter surfer sometimes. But working on it! We love fostering Adelaide, she is the best girl!”
Adelaide is such a sweet, loyal, good girl. Her perfect forever home will be loving, kind and kitty-free. (Adelaide does like to chase cats!) She would do well as one of your pack, or as a solo-dog, soaking up all of that love for herself. Adelaide is medium energy and would do great in a semi-active family with kids. She does great with kids, as long as the kids are used to big dogs!

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:

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.
