Story
Lorelei is exactly why rescue is our favorite breed- look at her! She is a perfect mash-up of dog breeds and is uniquely perfect! She is a little-bitty shepherd mix girlie, small in every sense with the softest floof. She is estimated to be 1 year old, barely out of those puppy days. In rescue, age and breed are observations, never guarantees, but it is especially true with Lorelei because few all see a little something different in her unique looks. She has the absolute cutest combination of features with a wonderful personality to match. Take a look and see her for yourself https://youtu.be/Lz-sD3tPTgQ
Lorelei was introduced to a variety of dogs and she was friendly and playful with them all, from small to large, the most natural connection being with a similar aged playful dog. Lorelei can initially come across as shy with people but once you spend time with her you realize it is simply her ease. She isn’t bouncy and overwhelming in an effort to make a connection, she is peaceful in your company, no need to be pushy or demanding.
She has been fortunate enough to have a loving foster home where she showed her ease with children and a variety of animals from a parrot to a bunny rabbit and another dog. Although she doesn’t live with a cat, she was introduced to one and was just as easy-going. The cat felt so comfortable with her that he didn’t even swat him when she wanted to smell him and he almost immediately laid down near her. She is an ideal addition for a multi-pet home and would especially love a similarly playful dog. Her foster family has shared that she is house and crate trained. We always expect a new dog to need a tour of the appropriate potty spaces once they get home, and maybe a reminder or two but this girl has a wonderful base.
Thanks to her size and personality, Lorelei would make a great apartment/condo girlie. Of course if you have a yard, she is ready to explore it and will often be found lounging outside, content to soak up the sun and feel the breeze.
If you have any questions about Lorelei or would like us to test her for a specific setting or detail, please be in touch! We can make most anything happen to ensure she is the correct fit for you and your life! Be assured though, she is an obviously unique cutie that will be adopted so fast because of that, do not hesitate to make the first move to make it official.

You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.
Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!
Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
The rescue’s hard costs alone for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,120. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that Three Little Pitties Rescue is not government funded.

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
