I bet you’re already captivated by Karen’s tricolor coat. She’s truly a beauty to behold! She has the deepest brown eyes that stare straight into your soul and connect with you on a deep level. In addition to her stunning good looks, she also has a winning personality. Keep reading to find out why.
Loyal and affectionate! Karen LOVES her people. She is sweet and happy, and she won’t miss an opportunity to cuddle up. She is great with people of all ages and abilities. There is a special needs granddaughter in the home, as well as an adult that uses a wheelchair and hospital bed. She is comfortable with it all and loves everyone. She is a little shy at first, but she will warm up quickly and before you know it, she’s your new best friend!
So smart! Karen is still young, at only 8 months old, but she is already crate trained, potty trained, and knows a bunch of commands like Sit, Lay Down, Settle, No, Outside, and Night Night. She is treat motivated and a fast learner. Who doesn’t want a pup that’s already well trained?? Most of the hard work of training has already been done for you! The training potential is limitless.
Some of her favorite things include squeaky toys and playing chase. Her favorite treats include apples with peanut butter and sweet potatoes - the way to her heart is definitely through her stomach! She loves when her people come home, and she always greets them with a wagging tail and a big smile. She is a spunky girl with a big personality, who is sure to fill your days with joy and laughter.
Karen is definitely dog friendly! She can be a bit shy meeting new dogs, but she will warm up after about 15 minutes, and then play with her furry companions. It would be great for her to live with another doggy sibling, and/or for her to get continued socialization with other dogs. She was a bit too interested in the cat during her cat test, so we don’t recommend she live with cats.
Karen is pretty easy on a leash, making her a great companion for walking, hiking, or running. She is not reactive to other dogs at all and will do great going out in public. She’s not a big fan of car rides, so she probably won’t make the best roadtrip buddy, but with training that could improve. She will still sit quietly in the car, she’s just a little anxious about it.
Karen is ready to be your favorite furry companion! With her sweet, affectionate nature, and spunky, fun personality, you can’t go wrong with her. Apply at the link below!

Our PNW dogs are brought to you in style by a beautiful USDA licensed semi-truck, equipped with air conditioning for comfort, two drivers, and 2 onboard attendants providing 24 hour care. Our East Coast route will travel in a private, air conditioned 3LP-run van transport.

One of our Adoption Coordinators can help to find the closest transport pick up location to you!
The adoption fee is $800 and includes all vetting as recommended by our doctor: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine (if old enough), multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, 2 months of heartworm preventative, extended medical such as dentals, eye surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries prior to adoption when suggested by our partner vets, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar for dogs over 4 months old, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and many priceless years of love and loyal companionship!
*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.
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 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.
