Story
Annabelle has the cutest personality! She is a thick girlie who is just so happy to be wherever you are! We have all heard how black dogs often get over looked when being considered for adoption but I know that wont be the case for Annabelle, she is gorgeous and even the worst lighting couldn’t hide it. She has a thick healthy coat of gorgeous black fur that feels soooo good to pet and makes her so striking!
Annabelle is here for the good life, you know, easy strolls and leisurely Sunday mornings. She is great on leash so if you are looking forward to springtime walks through the park or to the farmers market, Annabelle has been waiting for you! From what we have seen, Annabelle is completely house and crate trained. She may need to learn the new routine once she is invited home but this girl is smart and won’t be any trouble.
With rescue, age and breed are the two things we have to do a bit of educated guessing with. We believe Annabelle is about a year old, and is some sort of pocket pittie or American bully. And she weighs in at 64lbs and is full grown.
This sweet girl is super affectionate and loves nothing more than a good snuggle session with a side of belly rubs. Piglet enjoys bounding around with other dogs or relaxing in the sunshine. I could see Annabelle being absolutely content as an only dog, her person is all she really needs. Seeing her with other dogs though, she would also be perfect for a goofy male who likes a little bit of fun but also knows his way around a good nap.
Annabelle was great with all the dogs we introduced her to but was a little too interested when it was time to meet a cat, so none for him. Not everyone is a cat person and that is okay! Her size and love of a good romp around toy session lead me to believe a house with a yard would be best. Apartment life may cramp her fun-loving style.
I should warn you, she is fast, not on her legs but she will make the first move and secure that first kiss with hopes it leads to a million more. This love of big love may knock over a little person on accident and she is great with kids but the bigger ones who aren’t so shaky on their legs, 5+ would be perfect!
And if you are all about having a dog that knows commands and a few party tricks, Annabelle will work for treats! This girl will quickly learn whatever you show her, but don’t forget all payments are to be made in the form of yummy yums. So if you have the love and a handful of treats, Annabelle has a bus pass and her bag packed! She is ready to join you and your family!

*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.
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 provide weekly socialization programs for our dogs through playgroups and group leash training classes available to all dogs in our adoption program, and Doggy Sleepover, Doggy Day Out, and Ambassador programs for our boarding dogs. There is a professional dog trainer on staff to provide support for our fosters and dogs, and an off-site dog trainer for dogs that need more extensive behavior modification. This helps us learn deeply about every dog, prepare them for adoption, and ultimately match them with loving families. 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:
• 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

• 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 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.
