Story
Ivy is a teeny tiny ittie bittie pittie with a smile that brightens any room! She’s endlessly affectionate and easily one of the cutest dogs in the world- from her looks to her play style to her bouncy little run. She’s a perfect pocket pittie ready for forever love!
Get to know Ivy here: https://youtu.be/FYOpEt6QR6s?feature=shared
We believe that Ivy is a Staffie, Pittie mix. She has those big baby Staffie eyes to back it up, and a petite but muscular frame. We estimate her age to be around 3 years old, past the terrors of puppyhood and adolescence and settled nicely into Established Good Dog territory.
Ivy is currently thriving in a foster home with other dogs and cats. She gets along beautifully with all of them. She’s kitty approved, we believe her to be cat-tolerant and capable of living with dog-savvy cats.
During the day, you can usually find Ivy at doggy daycare, befriending all of the pups. She plays chase with the other dogs, and shares her toys well! Here at the rescue, Ivy showed off her canine social skills, we can confidently say that this sweet girl is dog friendly and ready for a doggy sibling or two in her forever home.
The most important thing to note about Ivy is how loving she is! This girl adores people, she made fast friends of us all. She even made friends with our vet staff, she forgave the pokes and prods quickly, once pets were offered!
Ivy loves treats, and she takes them so gently. She’s food motivated, which will make further training enjoyable and rewarding for both of you. Ivy is easy on the leash, and with a little polishing, she’ll be a perfect walking companion in no time. She’s done well in her foster mom’s car, so we think she’ll be an easy dog to take out and about! Be warned, she will make many friends along the way. Her cuteness draws them in, her sweetness keeps them petting.
Ivy is ready to be your best friend. We could see her thriving in a family home, or as your only child. She would do well in a home with other pets, but she’s so people-focused that we suspect she’d enjoy being your one and only. Ivy is easy-going, petite and sweet, perfectly suited to apartment living. We are willing to test Ivy 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.

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.
