Story
Sweet, sweet Selma, the girl who loves everyone with enthusiasm, is ready for her forever home. Just look into those big brown eyes and your heart will be mush. With this cutie around, you will never feel lonely because she will want to be with you every chance she gets.
We estimate Selma is about 1 year old and possibly a Boxer and Shepherd mix, but with rescue that’s just our best guess. She currently weighs around 50 lbs but her weight is still balancing back out after having puppies. She has been a wonderful mom to her sweet babies, but now she’s ready to enjoy the empty nest.
A social butterfly through and through, she’s never met a human she doesn’t like. Yelling, crying, rambunctious kids? No problem! She is hungry for affection and is happy to get it from any human willing to dish it out. Kitties are no-go for this cutie.
Selma is a bit unsure when meeting new doggy friends, but she warms up quickly. She doesn’t seem to have a lot of experience playing with other dogs, but she’s learning quickly in our play groups. She prefers to play one-on-one, or in small groups, rather than large groups. She could be happy as an only dog, or with a male doggy sibling who is either calm or moderately playful.
Selma was found as a pregnant stray, and it appears she may have been a stray for a while. She is very eager to eat any food she can, and will try to steal food from the counter or your hands. She hasn’t learned to take treats gently yet. She is equally hungry for love and will jump up for affection. Can you blame a girl for wanting love and snacks? What girl isn’t hungry for love and snacks, really?
Pretty easy on a leash, she’ll be great to take on walks. She does love to stop and smell the roses, and she would love to sniff every dog she passes too, but she doesn’t pull hard and is pretty easy to correct. She is potty trained and crate trained, although she may need a little patience learning a new environment.
Selma is a very happy-go-lucky, pie in the sky kind of girl. She’s a little silly and incredibly affectionate. If you have endless love and snacks to give, she will reward you with all of her love and devotion. Apply now to bring this cutie home!
Currently fostered in Texas, she is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to travel to their forever home in the PNW or NE areas.

*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.
The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is one of 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 choice but to euthanize animals for space. We prepare them for adoption by properly vetting and providing individualized care through our incredible behavior program that consists of socialization and leash training for all animals that enter our adoption program, prior to matching them with loving families who will treasure them for the rest of their lives. They are rescue dogs and will require continued training efforts once adopted, but will be well on their way to being the best dogs that they can be!
Three Little Pitties Rescue just celebrated our 5 year anniversary! Over the course of this time, we have been very fortunate for so much growth, allowing us to further connect with the community and save many lives. Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 11,000 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 brought into our rescue program. Together, we can be heroes.
