My story

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

Penelope, named so because of her shy sweetness! She may look black in photos but she is more like the color of a chocolate brownie, warm brown with a hint of black. Maybe somewhere in her family tree there was chocolate lab. The shy but sweet ones make fore the best dogs! If you have never had the experience of watching a dog fall in love with you and melt into the trust of you, it is so incredibly fufilling. Penelope warms up so quickly with affection, and before you know it, you are where she wants to be. Your lap, right next to you, or with her head resting on your knee.


We believe Penelope is is a lab/pittie mix, estimated to be 3 years old, and weighing in at 50 lbs fully grown. In rescue we can never be 100% sure about breed or age and offer that information as an educated observation. Her past may be a mystery, but her future is bright with potential, and she needs only a loving person, better yet family, she can call her own, that is where she can and will truly blossom.

Penelope adores people, is great with other dogs, and even cats. She is particularly respectful of feline boundaries and understands that a friendship with cats takes time.The dogs she gravitated towards were similar to her in having calm, easy-going energy. She was also great when introduced to a 3 year old, so calm and incredibly gentle. No jumping or pushiness here.

This lady is ready for the simple quiet life, I could see her being a perfect little house dog, a small little yard she could sunbathe in and a corner of the couch for napping. She shows great promise for learning obedience, she is so attentive to her people, and would thrive in a home that can provide gentle guidance as she learns more about the rhythm of home life. While she could benefit from a peaceful, confident dog as a role model, she would also flourish as an only pet, adding to the peace of her new home.

She is ready to learn more about being the best companion, from walking on a leash to enjoying car rides, she has the steadfast love thing down pact. She's already on a great path to becoming your best buddy!

If you're ready to embark on a lifelong adventure with a pup just waiting to give all her love, Penelope might be the one for you. Grab your leash and open your heart to Penelope! 🐶❤️

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.
