Story
Meet Silver Maple Tree! She is currently 11 weeks old, and we think she may be a German Shepherd / Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, but with rescue it’s always a guess! This puppy is from a part of the US where puppies are regularly euthanized. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from this rescue, it saves their life AND it also allows us to save the life of another in its place. Watch Silver Maple's video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8V3V-Onbuk Silver Maple is currently in a loving foster home and loves to play and take lots of naps! Eat, sleep, play, repeat. Silver Maple is living her best puppy life right now - all she needs is YOU! Silver Maple is still young so she will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. Silver Maple's new family will need to continue with potty and crate training and daily exercise. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy. When old enough, they will be perfect to go on walks and hikes or show off around your neighborhood. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Application link: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6827600c878bdf8f390e7597 Please email krissa@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions. Available for adoption in NV, MT, CO,UT, ID, OR, WA, Canada, and now the East Coast! Our PNW dogs are brought to you in style by a beautiful USDA licensed semi-truck, equipped with air conditioning for comfort, two drivers, and 2 onboard attendants providing 24 hour care. Our East Coast route will travel in a private, air conditioned 3LP-run van transport. Pick up day is unforgettable! You will get to follow along on their journey through a private FB Event page, where you will see photos, have the opportunity to connect with other adopters, and receive updates and constant communication along the way. One of our Adoption Coordinators can help to find the closest transport pick up location to you! The adoption fee is $900.00 and includes all vetting as recommended by our doctor: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine (if old enough), multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, 2 months of heartworm preventative, extended medical such as dentals, eye surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries prior to adoption when suggested by our partner vets, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar for dogs over 4 months old, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and many priceless years of love and loyal companionship! *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 or the NE 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. 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 • 70% off of your first order of Fetch, a PNW based, organic fresh dog food loaf meal subscription plan • Coupons for a fun visit to Petco • Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup! We celebrated our 7 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.

Story
Tiki is a sweetie boy! He loves toys, gives the gentlest kisses, has a downright adorable face, and the sweetest most sensitive puppy-heart I have experienced. He is estimated to be 6-months-old, still growing, and currently weighs around 32 lbs. He is in the sweet spot of being puppy-hearted but old enough to show you who he really is: sensitive, affectionate, smart, and full of potential. This guy lives with over 10 dogs in his foster home and is doing amazing with all of them. His dog friends range from young to old and although they like to play and chase him, he enjoys his solo time just as much as he does playtime. Tiki thrives in calm, low-drama environments and is incredibly affectionate. His foster shared that he bonds really deeply with his people. Once he knows you are his safe space, he becomes melty in your arms and soaks up the affection like a sponge. 
Tiki is excellent with small dogs and learning that large dogs are not intimidating. Growing up as the biggest in a home full of littles means he thought that’s what life is but as he has met and played with more same size and larger dogs, he is seeing how fun and exciting it is to meet your match. He would thrive with a medium-to-low energy small dog friend or an equal sized dog that can give him a little time to warm up before going right in to ask if he wants to play. He is a sweet boy and still learning how to engage with big dogs. He is very responsive to guidance and shares toys and love with ease so we have no doubt he will be quick to connect if joining a home with an equal/larger dog. The day I met Tiki we were under a full-blown thunder storm and Tiki did not care for it. Although I could see he was a little stressed while outside, once we were inside the house where it was calmer and quieter, he was back to his happy, relaxed self. Tiki would do well in a home with older kids where he can peacefully build a bond over time. He met 4 year old Kobe and was gentle and sweet in his approach but also cautious of him, especially when he started jumping around and being a little wild. When we asked his foster, she shared that he has only met kids a few times and briefly. Rescue dogs are often learning about lots of new things in their foster homes and that is true for Tiki. His foster has exposed him to so many wonderful things and is teaching him a variety of skills. Currently, she shared that he is house and crate trained, food motivated, eager to please, great in the car and has great basic leash skills. It is easy to imagine Tiki being happy in a home with a yard for bouncing around in but with regular walks and enrichment, it is possible to see him as an apartment boy. In a house with lots of dogs, Tiki eats well and did initially, on occasion, try to sneak over to another dog’s bowl, so he is fed in his crate which has helped him learn his own things from the sharing things. Tiki is a soft, sweet, sensitive boy who just wants to feel loved and secure. With a little patience, a gentle routine, and maybe a dog buddy—he’s going to thrive. Questions?

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!  We have over 15,000 successful adoptions so far and have excellent Google Reviews: 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 (excluding transport) 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 $1,368. 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 adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. It doesn’t stop there!

Story
This cutie is Buddy Holly. He is currently 2 months old. We think they may be a Black Mouth Cur / German Shepherd mix, but with rescue it’s a guess! What matters most is that they are adorable and are one the MOST desperate in the entire US based on statistics for where this puppy is from. Shelters in this area are having to euthanize puppies. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from us, it saves their life as well as the life of another in its place. Watch Buddy's video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsky3UFWdmw Buddy is a sweet and friendly puppy who loves making new friends wherever he goes. With his adorable floppy ears and wagging tail, he instantly wins hearts. Always curious, Buddy loves exploring his surroundings and learning new things. He's the perfect companion—loving, playful, and ready to bring joy to his forever home. He loves to play with his foster siblings and take lots of naps. Eat, sleep, play, repeat- such is puppy life! We pride ourselves in being able to give you good personality and behavioral information to help ensure this baby is the right fit for you. You are also welcome to do a Facetime call to meet your new baby before signing paperwork! Buddy Holly is still very young and will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. A puppy is discovering new things that shape their personalities with each passing day. Implementing routine, structure, setting boundaries, and proper socialization is key from the start. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy starting immediately when arriving into their new home, which will help with potty training, energy management, and the overall development of a well rounded adult dog. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
We see a lot of dogs but very few that are as striking as Evee! Take a look at her cuteness in motion then come back to read more! https://youtu.be/DBjd5mQgrRA Evee is estimated to be around 2 years old, she weighs 43 lbs,yes she is full-grown, and we believe she may be a Catahoula/Pitbull mix. Her small frame and gorgeous coat will turn heads, but it’s her quiet sweetness that wins people over. She’s currently being fostered with two calm, well-mannered medium-sized dogs, and she’s done well with them—the 6 year old female is her playmate while the 8 year old male is less interested in playing and she fully respects that and coexists peacefully. In her previous foster home, Evee lived with three children under the age of 7, and she was dubbed “their best-pupfriend.” They shared that she is gentle, patient, and always ready to join in on the fun. She’s also cat-tolerant, showing cautious, respectful behavior when introduced to our house cat. She’d likely do well with a calm feline companion who isn’t overly pushy or mean-spirited. The day that we first met Evee, she took a little time to warm up to us but she approached gently and sat close. Its easy to feel that her heart is open and loving but prefers to take things slow. During our first meeting, Evee was quietly unsure of being in a new place with new people, but within about 10 minutes she started showing signs of interest and curiosity towards us. Once dogs were introduced, she followed them around quietly and even responded to an invitation to play from a calm, friendly male. Evee is both house and crate trained, and has lived in an apartment. Thanks to her size, quiet nature and ease on a leash she is a great candidate for a smaller apartment complex. On top of that, her foster shared that she rides well in the car and has no problem sharing her beloved stuffie toys with her dog friends or little kids. Evee’s ideal home includes a confident, dog-friendly resident dog who enjoys play with an approach that is more playful than pushy. A patient, loving person or family who understands she has a shy start but grows into a deeply loyal, gentle companion. Interested in adopting Evee?

Story
You know why there are so many references to Brandi in songs…because Brandi’s are always sweet. Think about it, have you ever met a bad Brandi? Not me, and this one won’t be the one to change that. She is affectionate, top-teir couch potato, and such easy-going company. Estimated to be around 5 years old and possibly a Catahoula/Pittie mix, she is 65 lbs of lover girl. The snuggles are guaranteed but breed and birthday are not, because of course, she is a rescue. A girl has to maintain a little mystery, right? But, to say she just wants to find a soft-spot and stay there is an understatement. That is all she is looking for and those soulful eyes of hers will tell you she is right where she wants to be. Having been the one that got to see her sleeping away on a couch and had to get her up, Ill tell you, it is hard to want to disturb her once she settles in- she is angelic and it is as relaxing to watch as I imagine it is for her to experience. If you have seen her video, you have seen that she has a calm, mama-like presence with other dogs. If you haven’t, you can watch it here, then come back to read more! https://youtu.be/y8jSaneFTyQ Brandi is polite and people focused, the type that if surrounded by dogs and one person, she only sees that person. She lives with other dogs in her foster home and her foster praises her respectful, no-drama, quiet confidence with other dogs. In the yard or on walks, she keeps that same approach- no overexcitement or concern, a little like a mama-supervisor type. Here’s the thing though, her foster can see how over-the-moon happy she is when she gets to enjoy the only-dog life. Seeing her get comfortable in a home, it is easy to know that everything about her deeply appreciates the comfy, coziness of home life and would love to soak it all up without having to be on mama-supervisor duty. She gets attached to the people and things she loves, don’t we all, and we would love to see her get the chance to rest her shoulders and enjoy. To say it simply, she’ll do best as an only dog in the home—not because she doesn’t get along with dogs, she's not trying to start trouble, she just wants to feel safe and secure and at peace when she is home. Same girl- same! As for people? Brandi is pure love. She’s cuddly, snuggly, and soaks up affection like a sponge while also being easygoing, low-maintenance energy. Give her a couch, a calm environment, and someone to love, and she’s perfectly content. Total companion dog energy. A home with a yard would be great, she loves a little sun-session or a nap in the grass but she doesn’t need, and could be an apartment girlie. The key will be regular walks and moments along your walk where she gets to roll in the grass or stop and soak up the sun and smells. Otherwise, she is low-energy, quiet in her crate and well-behaved on leash. She will also pass on cats, every cat she has met has disturbed her peace with their running and wild jumps. Brandi would thrive in a single-dog home, a low-key household with a family that values peace and routine, where she can nap, cuddle, and be the best part of your day, everyday. If absolute adoration is what you have been looking for in a dog, Brandi is made for you! She is going to see you as her sun, moon, and stars and all you will see is a dream girl. Questions?

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 (excluding transport) 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 $1,368. 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 adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.

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!
