Story
Meet Artemis, goddess of zoomies, queen of cuddles! Artemis is dog-friendly, kid-friendly and perfectly playful with a snuggly sweet side that will keep you warm and cozy at night.
With Rescue usually we have to guess a dogs breed— but not this girl! She had a real fancy DNA test done and the results are in— she is a unique blend of American pitbull terrier, Chihuahua, and many other breeds, Artemis is a one of a kind beauty. She’s a true texas western roundup!! This gorgeous girl is estimated to be just a year and a half old, and she currently weighs in at a slender 42 pounds.
Artemis is currently fostered in a loving home, and her foster mom has nothing but wonderful things to say about her! She’s described as so sweet, and accused of “thinking she’s a lap dog,” though her snuggles are always a welcome addition to any moment. Her foster mom brags that she’s crate trained for up to twelve hours! She doesn’t have accidents indoors, and her all time favorite thing is running! “Zoomies are her thing,” her foster mom says.
See her in action right here, then come back to read more about your new best friend!

In a previous foster home, Artemis lived the family dog lifestyle alongside a three year old boy. They played, snuggled, and had a great time.
Artemis adores toys, and shares them well with her humans. She likes to play fetch, and she never tears up her stuffies. She’s so precious and easy to love. She has the cutest habit of arching her back like a cat when she plays, and she uses her paws in the cutest way.
With other dogs, Artemis is so playful and fun! She loves to zoom, so naturally she loves to play chase. She shares affection well with other dogs and doesn’t mind backing away from a human to let another dog into the snuggle puddle. She loves to play outside- She doesn’t mind the mud, she doesn’t mind puddles, she’s an outdoorsy girl and loves the yard 365!
Artemis is also a really smart girl, capable of great training! She takes treats gently, and responds really well to direction. She’s already easy on leash, and considering her outdoorsy personality she would make an amazing little hiking buddy. She already knows “sit” and “down” and she’s shown us that she can learn “spin.” She seems to know “paw” but she’s still working on her consistency with that one. She’s such an impressive girl!
Artemis is such a perfect girl and she’s ready for her perfect home! We think Artemis would do best in a home with a yard for her to zoom in. She would love to live with kids, she’s a perfect family dog! She could live with dogs, her foster mom thinks she would do best in a home with medium to large male dogs. Artemis is scared and avoidant of cats.
We are willing to test Artemis with anything you need us to in order to ensure she’s the perfect match for you! We can make most anything happen! Just let us know.

We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. 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!
You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!
The adoption fee is $900 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectible, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship!

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.
