My story

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

Meet Gorgeous Emerald, the Dutch Shepherd Gal!💖😍

With her captivating honey-colored eyes that will make you green with envy, and striking appearance, Emerald is not just a beauty; she's a bundle of love and happiness wrapped in fur. At around 3 years old and 47 pounds, she's the perfect size and age—just right for cuddles and adventures alike. 🌸

Emerald's uniqueness doesn't stop at her looks; she's also a member of the remarkable Dutch Shepherd breed, known for its intelligence, loyalty, and versatility. With her Dutch Shepherd heritage, she brings an extra dash of charm and charisma to every interaction.🥰

Intelligent, gentle, and affectionate, she's the perfect companion for anyone. Whether it's a furry friend, kids, or adults, Emerald charms everyone she meets. 💝

Despite her stunning looks, Emerald is low to medium energy, making her adaptable to various lifestyles. From leisurely strolls in the park to cozy naps on the couch, she's always up for whatever you have in mind. With leash manners that'd make a professional dog walker jealous, Emerald turns every stroll into a breeze! Note that a fenced yard will likely be essential to provide Emerald with a secure space for both safety and play. 🐾😘

Emerald spreads her love far and wide, whether it's with humans or fellow furry friends. Dog-friendly and a hit with kids, she's the life of the party for everyone lucky enough to meet her! Well-mannered and trained, she's ready to be the star of your life. With her photogenic smile, get ready to fill your camera roll with more pictures of Emerald than selfies! 📸💖

Forget just being a pretty face and well-behaved pup! Emerald's got a secret weapon: her unmatched ability to dish out love and affection like it's going out of style. So, if you're after a sidekick to add some laughter and love to your days, Gorgeous Emerald is your girl! Get ready to have your heart stolen and embark on endless adventures together! 💖

Precious girl Emerald is full of love and happiness and her beautiful pictures will never justify her amazingly sweet and kind personality. 🥰 Emerald is one of a kind special gal who appreciates love and kindness. She brings happiness. This amazing girl will love you forever and she is just looking for the same in return!! 🌸💖

Available for adoption to anywhere in the US. We transport near or into NV, MT, CO,UT, ID, OR, WA, Canada, and now the East Coast! 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 or bus transport. Pick up day is unforgettable! You will get to follow along on their journey through a private FB Event page, where you will see photos, have the opportunity to connect with other adopters, and receive updates and constant communication along the way. We can help to find the closest transport pick up location to you!

The adoption fee is $800 and includes all vetting per our veterinarian: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter surgery, flea prevention, 2-6 months of heartworm preventative according to age, heartworm testing and heartworm treatment if applicable, 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 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.
