Story
Stunning Miss Chikki
Hey there! Bet you couldn’t resist clicking on my profile because of my cute face? Got ya didn’t I? Now that you’re here might as well get to know me a bit more.
I may be a smaller size package but I have a BIG loving personality. Some words that describe me are playful, independent and a big cuddle bug.
I’m more on the medium scale energy and I love to play and run with my furry friends. In my new home I would absolutely love to have a yard where I can have all the zoomies. I’m a super social butterfly around other dogs and absolutely love being chased. I’m super duper fast so good luck to all those dogs out there who think they can catch me! What makes me so great around other dogs though is that I can read their energy levels really well so if they don’t want to play then I’ll respect their space and leave them alone. But if they are down to play and roughhouse I’ll match their energy as well. I am also a pro at dog introductions and am super welcoming and gentle. I currently live with a few husky’s and we’re all pretty big doofuses. I would love to have a sibling in my new home but If you don’t have another pup in your home no worries I love to go to dog parks to meet new friends and play my heart out with them.
I LOVEEEEE toys of every kind. I’m not destructive with them but rather love throwing them in the air and running all around with them. I love ropes, plush toys, balls and much more but my favorite has to be ones I can chew on like the Nylabones.
My next favorite thing has to be humans though. Even though I’m a very independent girl I will always melt into you for some pets and cuddles. I would have to say my most prominent love language in physical touch. If you aren’t giving me enough attention while we’re cuddling and watching movies I love to gently lay my paw on you to remind you that I’m still there. If you wear me out enough during the day though I would love to have afternoon cuddles or a low key night in. I would be the perfect balance for an active family who can also be homebodies. Speaking of family I almost forgot to mention that I’m great with kids! Since I am an energetic girl I would love to be in a home with the older kids who know how to play and make it a good time.
Now that you know all about me and my personality lemme tell you about my training.
I’m currently potty trained but as always when coming into a new home it’ll help to have a regular routine for walks and potty breaks. I’m also crate trained. I love riding in my crate in the car and will sit their patiently while we head to our destination. This is just one of the things that makes me a great travel buddy! I’m also an explorer and would love to go on some of those beautiful PNW hikes or beaches.
Back to training things. I know how to sit as well but when I get too excited I sometimes have a hard time listening to what you’re saying. I don’t know many other tricks but I would be glad to learn! It’ll be a breeze to teach me as well since I’m both praise and food motivated. Speaking of food I’m very respectful when eating and have no food or crate aggression and will hop in my crate to be fed when it’s dinner time.
The only thing I will need a lot of work on is In the leash walking department. I can pull quite hard and will sometimes walk my humans instead of you walking me. I can’t help it though cause I just love being in the great outdoors! Leash training will be a breeze though if I have continued structure and training. One thing that makes me a gem to walk on the leash though is that I’m not reactive though in any way when I see other people or animals walking by but I will perk my ears up a bit to say hi to my friends.
Now that you know all about me how about adding one more rowdy pup into your pack?

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 will soon be celebrating 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 10,000 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.
