My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

🐾 Meet Laika! 🐾

Introducing Laika, the happiest, bounciest girl who instantly rolls over for belly rubs from anyone she meets. With her gentle and submissive nature, Laika is a joy to be around. She particularly loves playing with male dogs and truly enjoys their company!

Watch her adoption video here!


At about 60 pounds and estimated to be around three years old, Laika might be a boxer-pit mix, though we can't be sure. What's undeniable is her ever-wagging tail and her infectious enthusiasm for life. Laika welcomes everyone like long-lost friends, eager to share her love and get some affection.

Not just friendly with people, Laika has also shown excellent manners with other pets. She's fantastic with cats—she remains cheerful and playful even when swatted a few times. When introduced to dogs, her energy knows no bounds, thriving in the company of those who match her rough and playful style.

Currently fostered in Texas, Laika spends her days joyfully romping around the backyard with her four-legged foster siblings. She often gets vocal during play to show just how much fun she's having. She's intuitive with other dogs' behaviors and respectful of boundaries, making her a well-balanced playmate.

Laika's cuddle sessions are just as legendary as her playtime. She's known to worm her way next to you on the couch, quickly turning into "Licka Laika" with generous kisses. If you're looking for a pup as affectionate as she is playful, Laika is the perfect match.

She's also a hit with children, offering gentle kisses and showing an incredible softness around them. Though her excitement can sometimes lead to jumping, she quickly calms down with a gentle reminder.

Laika would thrive in a home that matches her energy and affection. She would love a canine companion to play with and would benefit from continued training, especially on the leash, where her curiosity and strength can be a handful. Whether you have a house with a yard or a spacious apartment, if you're active and can provide the interaction she craves, Laika will fit right in.

Ready to add a dose of joy to your life with a dog who's all about love and fun? Apply to adopt Laika today and start the adventure with your new best friend!

🌟 Don't miss your chance to make Laika part of your family. She's ready to fill your life with happiness and countless cuddles! 🌟

*WE ARE TOLD THAT WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND MEDICALLY. This is the feedback we tend to get, although we cannot guarantee perfect health.
*To fully vet a dog in the PNW at many vets it would be upwards of $1,800 just to fix, vaccinate, chip, etc. The adoption fees charged by our rescue do not cover our expenses medically for each animal, but we offset costs with donations. Your adoption fee is considered a donation towards actual costs.

The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is one of the highest in the nation. Statistics show that there are over 1 million homeless animals in this region alone! Three Little Pitties Rescue is a nonprofit dog and cat rescue that partners with the community to make a difference. Our mission is to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and saving all breeds of dogs and cats from the streets or animal shelters that oftentimes have no choice but to euthanize animals for space. We prepare them for adoption by properly vetting and providing individualized care through our incredible behavior program that consists of socialization and leash training for all animals that enter our adoption program, prior to matching them with loving families who will treasure them for the rest of their lives. They are rescue dogs and will require continued training efforts once adopted, but will be well on their way to being the best dogs that they can be!

Three Little Pitties Rescue just celebrated our 5 year anniversary! Over the course of this time, we have been very fortunate for so much growth, allowing us to further connect with the community and save many lives. Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 11,000 very lucky dogs and cats into amazing homes! By adopting from us, you save TWO lives! The pet you adopt, and you create an opportunity for another animal to be brought into our rescue program. Together, we can be heroes.
