Story
If you’re looking for a tiny dog with a big love for people, Lilly is already practicing her happy dance for you. She doesn’t just like humans… She absolutely adores them. Lilly meets people like she waited her whole life for new best friends. She jumps up gently for affection, rolls onto her back for belly rubs, and pops right back up just to ask for more. She is bubbly, loving, and thrives on attention in the sweetest way. If there’s a person nearby, Lilly is making sure she gets her hello in. You have to watch her adoption video to see just how joyful and people focused she is! https://youtu.be/ZqT8F2L5pUg Lilly is the ultimate people lover. She’s the kind of dog who wants to be where you are. She leans into affection, melts during touch, and happily soaks up every bit of love you give her. She’s affectionate without being overwhelming, and her gentle little hops for attention are completely heart melting. We believe Lilly may be a soft, fluffy little German Shepherd mix but as with any rescue, that’s always our best guess. What we know for sure is that she’s 34 pounds of pure sweetness wrapped up in one adorable, compact package. She has that shepherd sparkle and loyal heart, just in a smaller, easier to handle size. At 34 lbs, she’s sturdy enough for adventures but petite enough to manage with ease. She walks nicely overall and may just need a little leash polishing nothing her smart, eager to please self can’t handle. Lilly greets other dogs politely and appropriately. A true friend to all, she is comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes. She has a wonderful temperament that allows her to thrive. Lilly would do best with a medium to low energy dog who will give her space as she settles in. She is also perfectly happy to thrive as your one and only dog. This sweet cutie patootie girl is officially ready to find her forever home! Is Lilly a fan of feline friends? Well, she is terrified of them. Maybe she has never met a cat, maybe she met a mean one that made an impression- either way Lilly would like to pass on cats. Lilly could thrive in either a home with a yard or an apartment. She’s small, adaptable, and easy to walk. She would make a wonderful family dog and would especially shine in a home that includes her in daily life, outings, and adventures. Anywhere there are people to love, Lilly will fit right in. She’s a social butterfly who never meets a stranger, and she’s looking for a forever family to shower with infinite tail wags. If you have a pocket full of treats, you’ll have a best friend for life! Lilly is so ready to settle into your heart and start your grand adventure together. If you’re ready for a tiny best friend who will greet you like you’re the most important person in the world… Lilly is waiting.

Story
*Currently fostered in Portland, OR Meet Castiel! Castiel is currently a year old, and we think he may be a wire hair terrier and chihuahua 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. Castiel is a joyful boy with a wiry coat, probably moderate to low shedder, and he’s young so he has spunky energy. He likes toys and playing with kids! He tries to instigate play and engagement. Castile is so unique and beautiful! Everywhere we take him, people talk about how unique he is! Castiel is a Good little guy! He played with Jessica - another small playful dog- and he is not too pushy with his play, for a puppy. He played chase for a little bit and would come back up to me to sit next to my feet. Once he got tired he would lay down in front of me and relax taking all the affection he could get. He is a puppy so he will need some training as he gets older, but he will learn quickly because he is very much a people pleaser. When he met my kids ages 4 and 7, he was joyful and wanted to engage with them. He’s very trusting and outgoing. He does like toys and wants to initiate play. He met a cat with us and was uninterested. Watch Castiel's video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA8uxj60QXw Castiel is currently in a loving foster home and loves to play and take lots of naps! Castiel is a special boy who doesn't let anything slow him down. He is hearing impaired but is still fully capable of jumping up on the couch for a romp and a snuggle. He is not shy and adores other dogs and wants to be everyone's friend. Castiel is a one of a kind guy! It’s not everyday you get the chance to adopt a blue eyed wonderboy! If you are looking for a friend to spend your days with, Castiel is your guy! Castiel is still young so he will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. Castiel’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/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6847277be1ba93663e02dcd5 Please email emilyparsons@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 $1000.00 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.

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!

Story
Meet Ellie — your daily dose of sunshine, laughter, and pure joy wrapped up in one adorable little terrier body. Ellie is a 2 ½-year-old Jack Russell Terrier/Rat Terrier mix who lives life at full speed and with her whole heart. From the moment you meet her, you’ll notice her bright, happy energy and the way she seems to make everything feel just a little bit more fun. She’s the kind of dog who wakes up excited for the day, ready to play, love, and soak up every bit of attention she can get. Look how adorable she is in her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/y9AcxeTtH88?si=HAW1GSZ0XWRIMbAF This girl absolutely loves love. Whether she’s rolling right into your lap for belly rubs, leaning into you for pets, or happily dancing around to make you smile (yes—she can actually do a cute little dance!), Ellie thrives on connection with her people. She isn’t just affectionate—she’s fully devoted to being your happy little shadow and your built-in source of entertainment. Ellie is also a playful, energetic spirit who is always ready for action. Toys, zoomies, games, exploring—if it sounds fun, Ellie is already there. She’s currently in a foster home with multiple other dogs and is very social, especially when it comes to playtime. She loves having dog friends who are just as excited about playing as she is. In fact, she would do best with a canine companion who can match her enthusiasm and keep up with her playful personality. She just gets so excited to have fun that she can come on a little strong with more laid-back dogs—but it all comes from a place of pure joy and eagerness. Because of her social nature, Ellie would thrive either as: • The only dog in the home, soaking up all the love and attention for herself, or • With a playful, high-energy dog who will happily romp around with her What makes Ellie extra special is her personality. She’s not just cute (though she absolutely is with that scruffy face and bright eyes)—she’s funny. She has this silly, expressive way about her that keeps you smiling. Between her little dance moves, her playful antics, and her love of flopping dramatically into your lap for attention, she brings so much life and laughter wherever she goes. At the end of the day, Ellie is a dog who just wants to love big, play hard, and be right by your side through it all. She’s looking for a home that will embrace her joyful energy, appreciate her goofy charm, and give her the active, loving life she deserves. If you’re looking for a dog who will keep you smiling, keep you moving, and remind you every single day how fun life can be—Ellie is your girl. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
This darling boy is a total heart stealer who is ready to blossom into your most devoted companion! He is the definition of a "hang out" dog once he knows you’re his person, he is all about being by your side and soaking up the love. Whether you’re relaxing with a book or moving through your daily routine, he’s happiest just being part of the pack and following your lead with a wagging tail. Want to see those adorable ears in action? Check out his adoption video below to see him showing off his sweet personality! https://youtu.be/2MVHPb3dVqU The Mystery Mix Perfection We like to think of him as a "designer rescue" blend part mystery, part magic, and 100% adorable! We believe Jack Jack is Jack Russel Terrier mix, he has that endearing look that makes everyone stop and say "aww." He is only 22lbs! A manageable size, compact enough to be your favorite travel buddy but big enough to give the world's best hugs. He’s already mastered the art of the afternoon nap; he just needs your living room to make it official. He is currently thriving in a foster home where he’s learning all about the good life! Jack Jack shows us that he is a total pro when it comes to domestic bliss. He’s been a gentleman in his crate and handles car rides like a seasoned traveler, quietly taking in the sights. Being in a foster home has allowed his gentle, sensitive side to really come forward, proving he's ready for a family of his own. When it comes to other dogs, this boy is a total rockstar! He is incredibly polite and respectful, making him a dream addition to a home with existing pups. He has a "go with the flow" attitude. While he’d love a home with a low to medium energy buddy to show him the ropes, he can also thrive as your one and only, soaking up all the undivided attention himself! Curious about how he feels about feline friends? He’s been a total gentleman! He is very respectful of their space and has shown a wonderful ability to just relax and coexist. We even caught him lounging on the couch right near a kitty friend without a care in the world! Since every cat has its own unique "cattitude," we’d love to see how he does in a sleepover with a feline to make sure they’re destined to be best buds. This sweet boy doesn’t need a massive yard to be content; he just wants a quiet neighborhood where he can sniff the roses at his own pace. One of his cutest traits? He is an A+ student when snacks are involved and is a complete gentleman during mealtime! In short, he is a gentle, resilient soul who is ready to reward his forever family with a lifetime of unwavering devotion and soft, happy tail wags. He’s a true treasure just waiting to be found! Ready to bring this sweet shadow home? Start your forever adventure today! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69781ab440c53c191e070c2c Questions?

Story
**Now fostered in Truxton, NY** If you’re looking for a tiny queen with a big personality, a hilarious sense of humor, and just enough sass to keep life interesting… meet Bambi. This girl is pure entertainment wrapped up in the cutest little package. She’s the kind of dog who will have you laughing without even trying, flashing that big smile of hers, and somehow becoming the main character of your life overnight. Bambi doesn’t just exist in your home… she runs it (lovingly, of course). Watch her video and fall in love with her personality: https://youtu.be/2_n3tL3izY8?si=2MCNVAV5GmXcfkav Bambi is believed to be a chihuahua mix, around 6 years old, and approximately 30 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. What we can guarantee? She’s a certified Texas Special. A perfect mix of all the best things that somehow created one incredible dog. Let’s get one thing straight… Bambi is QUEEN B. She loves her people deeply and she absolutely expects her fair share (okay… all) of the love and attention. Belly rubs? Hers. Ear scratches? Hers. Treats? Also hers. And honestly, you won’t even mind because she makes it impossible not to adore her. She’s affectionate, snuggly, and will happily curl up with you on the couch. Especially if you’re wearing cozy clothes because yes, she is that kind of girl. She has a really fun, playful side too. Bambi loves tug-of-war, chasing toys, and bringing that bouncy, silly energy when she’s in the mood. She’s especially entertaining because sometimes she brings the game right into your lap. Personal space is optional when you’re having fun. Her favorite toys include Lamb Chop and her bunny, and if one falls off the couch? Out of sight, out of existence. It’s honestly hilarious. With other dogs, Bambi can be a bit particular. She’s not the type to love every dog she meets, but with the right match, she can really enjoy playtime, especially with dogs who match her energy and understand her style of play. Think confident, respectful dogs who enjoy wrestling, chase, and a little bit of rough-and-tumble fun, but who also know when to take breaks. She would also be perfectly happy as your one and only, soaking up all the attention and being the center of your world (which, let’s be honest, is her preference). She has met cats and did well overall, showing curiosity and even trying to initiate play. She would do best with a dog-savvy cat who doesn’t mind her playful interest and can hold their own if needed. Bambi is a smart girl who loves to learn. She already knows sit, shake, stay, and is working on lay down. She’s very treat motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding for both of you. The behavior team even believes she could excel in trick training or dog sports. She’s quick, agile, and loves engaging with her person. In the home, she’s a total gem. She’s potty trained, not destructive, and does great in a crate. She sleeps there overnight and settles easily. She’s also what we like to call a “passenger princess” in the car… she LOVES car rides and will happily load herself up, ready for whatever adventure you have planned. When it comes to people, Bambi is very social and loves attention. She may get a little excited and jump if she feels like she’s not being greeted fast enough (honestly relatable), but she settles quickly and then acts like you’ve been best friends forever. She’s done great around older kids (10+) and would thrive in a home with dog-savvy children who can match her playful energy. She’s a great mix of calm and playful. Happy to go for walks, play, and have fun, but also perfectly content lounging and snuggling at home. She would do well in an apartment or a house, just keep in mind she does have a little voice when it comes to treats… she likes to say “please” loudly sometimes. We personally think it adds to her charm. Her ideal home would be one where she’s loved, included, and appreciated for exactly who she is. A funny, affectionate, slightly sassy, incredibly lovable little queen. A yard would be a bonus, or someone committed to daily walks and playtime. She would thrive with someone who enjoys having a dog with personality, who wants a companion that brings both laughter and love into their life. Bambi is the kind of dog that makes you wonder how you ever lived without her. She’s fun, she’s loving, she’s endlessly entertaining, and she has so much personality packed into her little body. Her foster said it best, if circumstances were different, she’d already be staying forever. So if you’re ready for a dog who will make you laugh, keep you on your toes, and then curl up with you like she’s always belonged there… Bambi is ready to take over your heart (and your couch). Does Bambi sound like your girl? Apply today! https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/68238e82024e06cf690e32e3 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 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. It doesn’t stop there!

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!
