My story

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

Symba is Your Golden-Eyed Companion!
He is so amazing with other dogs in play group, he is cuddly, he remembers people and comes up for love, he is such a good boy. And he has a cute curly tail! Accepts all dog energies, he collects toys, great getting his nails done, overall such an innocent sweet boy!
Symba is a social butterfly who thrives on human connection. His tail wags with enthusiasm at the prospect of meeting new people, and he's always ready to shower them with affection and tail wiggles. If you're looking for a canine companion to bring endless joy to your life, Symba is the pup for you.
Symba's excitement isn't limited to people – he's equally thrilled to make new doggy friends! He is excited to first meet new friends then he likes to just hang out with them. Symba is not just limited to the company of dogs; he's also been known to be cool, calm, and collected around feline friends. Symba doesn’t currently live with a cat but he did well meeting the rescue’s cats.
One of Symba's favorite pastimes is chasing after balls with unbridled joy. Whether it's a game of chase the ball in the backyard or a day at the park, Symba's boundless enthusiasm and love for play make him the ideal partner for an active lifestyle.
Symba is searching for a loving home where he can be an integral part of the family. His ideal setting would include plenty of playtime, cozy cuddles, and maybe a backyard for his ball-chasing adventures. If you're ready to provide Symba with the love and care he deserves, he's ready to fill your days with laughter and love.
If you're want to add a touch of golden warmth to your life, Symba is eagerly waiting to meet you. 🌟🐾

Why adopt from Three Little Pitties?

The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is 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 other option but to euthanize animals for space. This dog you’ve found online is lucky to be in our program, and even luckier to have you notice it!

Three Little Pitties wants to set you and your new pet up for success! We know our dogs and we work hard to prepare them socially for adoption. We are a network of dedicated people who are heavily invested in seeing our animals thrive. From the moment they are accepted into our program, our Intake, Behavior & Medical teams prepare them for adoption by properly vetting, behaviorally assessing, and providing customized plans depending on the dogs needs. We provide weekly socialization programs for our dogs through playgroups and group leash training classes available to all dogs in our adoption program, and Doggy Sleepover, Doggy Day Out, and Ambassador programs for our boarding dogs. There is a professional dog trainer on staff to provide support for our fosters and dogs, and an off-site dog trainer for dogs that need more extensive behavior modification. This helps us learn deeply about every dog, prepare them for adoption, and ultimately match them with loving families. We seek to adopt to families who understand that these are rescue dogs and will require continued training efforts, but will be well on their way to being the best dogs that they can be!

It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these special perks:

30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion (must register within 24 hours of first vet appt.)
A free private online dog training session with GoodPup plus low pricing for future sessions (approx $25 weekly for an 8 week course of one session per week)
One free bonus toy in every BarkBox when signing up for their Super Chewer subscription plan
70% off of your first order of Fetch, a PNW based, organic fresh dog food loaf meal subscription plan
Coupons for a fun visit to Petco
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!

We celebrated our 5 year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 12,000 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 saved in that spot. Together, we can be heroes.
