Story
Five minutes with this dog and I was convinced she is basically anyones dream dog. Friendly, gorgeous, loves kids, is gentle, great with other dogs, good on leash, respectful of cats, loves the water, house and crate trained… Il’l stop there but not because there isn’t more to say, I don’t want to rush through her goodness. Let me start with the basics, this is Barbie, she is estimated to be just about 2 years old, currently weighs 56 lbs, and we believe is possibly a shepherd mix of some sort. Of course, in rescue age and breed are offered from educated observation but are never a guarantee.
Maybe it’s the way she looks at you, the one floppy+one straight ear, but whatever it is, there is something special about this girl. She is an undeniable good girl who is looking for love, a dream house to call home. Although she is attentive she is also content on her own, with the wonderful ability to entertain herself quietly and peacefully in her crate.
An ideal home for Barbie would include a yard, for lounging in the grass and bouncing around with her favorite squeaky toy. Barbie has been so fortunate, hosted by a wonderful foster family who has 4 cats, 3 small dogs and a great dane. They also have a pool which they shared Barbie is a big fan of! So she is looking for the Barbie dream house that comes with a pool. Wink wink. They also shared that she is respectful in the home and is both house and crate trained. On top of that she is great with kids! She would make a wonderful family dog as she lit up with kids, is gentle and does not get jumpy or overly excited. Another playful dog would be a bonus but isn’t needed for her happiness- being your one and only would be perfectly okay by her.
Adopt this amazing and loving lady today and get started making beautiful memories together! ! She cannot wait to have a person of her own at the other end of the leash and we sure hope its you!
If you have any questions about Barbie 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!

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

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.
