Story
Maralyn, spelled different than the classic beauty but absolutely bringing her own classic appeal. When I met this girl I refrained for a full 3 minutes before I was down on the ground with my arms around her neck. She is squishy and huggable and it shows! The walking pillows, where you can just see the snuggle potential a mile away.
Don’t trust my workds, take a look for yourself!

Maralyn is fortunate and is waiting for her forever family in a loving foster home. They gush over how smart and easy-going she is while expressing that she has a comforting presence. In her foster home she lives with two pugs who she gets along well with, even when they try to crawl and jump on her like a jungle gym. My favorite thing her foster mom shared was their morning routine of starting the day together. One enjoying a spot in the sun the other enjoying a cup of coffee. A quiet moment of companionship and love. On top of being a peaceful companion, Maralyn has learned the art of welcoming guests politely and reading the room for the “dog-people.”
Overall she is quiet, never barking frivolously, but definitely for effective communication. Given that Maralyn is house trained and she hasn’t yet mastered opening the door herself, she has to speak up when she needs a little help getting outside. Personally, I love a dog that knows how to ask to be let out, or in, when needed. She also likes to tell you a little about her day when you get home, but again, its never excessive. Its her call for connection.
Maralyn is also a gentle gal, from kids to cats she knows how to “make herself small” and sprinkle in little kisses and carefully share her toys. One of her favorite games to play with kids is fetch!
She is a smart, loyal girl, with A+ listening skills and a love for belly rubs. The tail-wags will tell you all you need to know about her love for affection and you!
If you have any questions about the adoption process or would like us to test Maralyn for a specific location or situation, please email us! We are happy to help ensure Maralyn is the perfect fit for you and your family!

Available for adoption in 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 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. One of our Adoption Coordinators can help to find the closest transport pick up location to you!
The adoption fee is $750 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.
