My story

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

🐾 Meet Rue! 🐾

Introducing Rue, a lovable and lively companion with enchanting, kangaroo-like ears that attract attention whenever adventure calls. Rue isn't just adorable; she is brimming with qualities that make her the perfect addition to any family. Don't let her high energy fool you; she's a cuddle monster who adores snuggling up with her family.

Rue thrives in the company of other dogs and loves playful interactions. She is a delight with dogs and maybe cat-friendly, but we are happy to facilitate an introduction. This makes Rue an excellent match for multi-pet households, showing great social cues and fitting in seamlessly. Rue has mastered her potty training with flying colors and is crate trained—though she expresses her dislike for it with a vocal performance, she'll happily trot in for a treat.

This clever girl is far from a couch potato. With an endless zest for life, she's always looking for fun. Whether playing fetch or exploring new places, Rue is ready for the next big thing. She's a joy to take out, walking confidently on a leash in public, and she's a natural at riding in cars, making her the perfect travel buddy.

Rue's ideal family will be as energetic and loving as she is, ready to embark on adventures and enjoy an active lifestyle. She has an impressive recall, responding immediately to whistles or calls—a testament to her desire to please and her capacity to learn. Food is the way to her heart, and she's keen to learn more tricks, already working on perfecting 'down.'

With Rue, every day is filled with joy, laughter, and the occasional stolen item from the counter. If you're looking for a devoted Velcro dog to share in every moment, Rue might be the one to fill your days with love and activity.

Are you prepared to be the leader she needs, to channel her energy, and to be the best friend she's eager to have? Rue is waiting for you to start your forever adventure together! 🐶💖

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 dog’s 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.
