Story
🔥 Meet Phoenix — A True Love Bug 🔥 Phoenix is a 3-year-old pit bull with a heart full of love and a serious talent for cuddling. She absolutely adores people and just wants to be by your side — preferably soaking up sunshine or snoozing near her favorite human. She has lived successfully with older children (ages 10 & 12) and has been introduced to a 4-year-old, doing wonderfully with all of them. Phoenix is gentle, affectionate, and thrives on human companionship. In everyday life, Phoenix is a great balance of playful and relaxed. She gets short bursts of energy (hello, 5-minute zoomies!) and then is perfectly content to lounge for the rest of the day. Her favorite toy is a stuffed sheep. She’s not destructive and prefers to gently nibble her toys rather than shred them. Phoenix has been going on daily walks with her foster parents and has made great progress with her leash manners. She can be left alone in the house for extended periods. She currently sleeps on her dog bed in the main living space but would happily share a bed with her human if invited. She is a quick learner and eager to please. Phoenix bell-trained herself to go outside in just one day and has learned several commands in foster care. While she is not fully crate trained, her fosters have started positive crate introductions and she is doing well so far. Phoenix will need to be an only dog. She comes from a home where she was regularly attacked by another dog, so she can be skittish and defensive around unfamiliar dogs. Because of this, her forever home should be with someone experienced, patient, and committed to continuing her confidence-building. Phoenix doesn’t need to be a “go everywhere, do everything” kind of dog. She’s happiest at home, in a calm, predictable environment, and with time and positive experiences her confidence will continue to grow. She has successfully done side-by-side leash work with other dogs and is making steady, encouraging progress. If you’re looking for a devoted companion, a snuggle partner, and a dog who will bond deeply with her person — Phoenix might be your perfect match.

Story
Zelda is such a cutie girl! Yes, she really does look like she has on a little tuxedo, or maybe some little white socks! This girl is so sweet and friendly. She loves all people, she did well with a cat, and she enjoyed playing ball in the yard with other pups. Ball is her FAVORITE game! She loves to play fetch, but she’s still learning how to bring it back to you. She carries the ball around like a little baby with a pacifier— it’s just too cute to handle! Are you ready to meet your new partner in crime? Watch her here: https://youtu.be/1sj9S5ohoQU?si=VvB8F0YViLZp-hVA Zelda is still living her best care free puppy life, and will need a family with time to teach her new tricks! Right now in her foster home with her sister, she is currently working on her basic commands. Zelda is already so smart, we know that training will be fun for her (and you!) Zelda comes from a part of the U.S. where puppies are regularly euthanized, so adopting this puppy will help us save another in her place. Zelda is a little slow to open up to doggy friends initially, but trust me, it doesnt take her very long! She will be showing you her goofy side quickly. Especially if you have a fun bouncy tennis ball! Zelda simply just doesnt like to be rushed when meeting doggies she doesnt know, and we cant blame her! You can tell that she wanted to play with the other dogs, but she just wasnt sure how to yet. One thing about Zelda is that she loves toys! Sometimes we'll even catch her stealing a toy from other dogs. If Zelda is to be adopted out with other dogs, it would be best for her to be adopted out with another dog that doesn't really care much for toys-- and for toy time to be supervised so everyone can enjoy the toys. We think Zelda would definitely benefit from having a doggy sibling in the home to help her build some confidence. Zelda got to meet a kitty here at the rescue, and she did wondefully! She didnt really care for him at all, and if you have kitties at home, you know thats what we want! Although we have not seen Zelda with kids yet, with her size and calm energy, we think Zelda would enjoy the company of older kids. We are happy to test her with anything you may need. Apply for Zelda here: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/67fe7288d635a35951096287 Questions? Reach out to: Kathleen@threelittlepittiesrescue.org We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. 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! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS: Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family Discounts on Embark DNA test kit- $30 off of Breed ID test & $50 off of Breed ID plus Health test 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion A free private online dog training session with GoodPup, plus low pricing for future sessions 70% off of your first order of Fetch, a delicious PNW based fresh dog meatballs subscription Coupons for a fun visit to Petco 20% off of Dr. Cuddles pet first aid and hygiene solutions Discounted heartworm, flea prevention, and monthly dewormer 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! 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!

Story
Atari is the lover of all people, if he could be cuddled up, taking a nap all day with his humans he would be. He is a sweet lover boy and a total goofball. Atari is such a good boy he loved to get pet and cuddled with the whole time we spent with him. Atari is currently in a foster home with five other dogs and an amazing Foster who he loves so much. They cuddle up together and take naps all the time it’s Atari’s favorite thing to do. He also loves to play with toys. It’s when you really see the goof in him come out. Check out Attari’s video to see his goofy side https://youtu.be/Z_vJOzEkIF4?si=dPu4hfC1GKORkc3a Atari is a pitbull mix, around four years old, and 53 pounds. He is so handsome and loves to sleep curled up in a ball. It is adorable. Atari met a couple of our dogs today and did amazing meeting all of them. He didn’t play too much except for one of our very hyper male dogs. They played for a little and ran together. It was so adorable. He does play with his foster siblings and loves having fun rolling around with other dogs. Atari is really more of a people person, when all the other dogs were playing he was standing next to us waiting for pets or exploring the yard sniffing around. Atari would do great in a home with other dogs or by himself because he would so love to have all the cuddles to himself. Atari should not live in a home with cats. He finds them way too interesting and gets super excited meeting them, which is a little too much for cats. Atari has not yet been kid tested, but we do believe he would do great around kids. He does jump a quite bit, so preferably older kids that can stand their own ground. Atari is such a fun lover boy and is waiting for the perfect home. He could bring so much laughter, light and joy into a home. He just needs a chance. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Diesel here, reporting for duty as your loyal shadow, fetch partner, slightly over-sized lap-dog, and the reason fore everyday laughs. Now Diesel’s name might give you visions of some high-octane, need-for-speed boy but please know that he is far from it. This Diesel has mini-zoomies, is toy-tossing, and is a people-loving pittie mix who’s always ready to spread his contagious happiness. We cannot guarantee it given he is a rescue but we believe Diesel is about 1.5 years old and he weighs 42 pounds, really a perfect medium, to-go size boy. Take a look then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/iVVpWAkEMlY My favorite thing about Diesel is the way he plays with toys! I don’t think there is a toy he doesn’t like. Whether its a stuffy or a bouncy ball, we is going to light up, bounce around, ask if you want to play fetch and then go throw the toy for himself. Right after that he will run to the toy basket, pick out another toy and start the cycle all over again. He is quiet and mindful of the space but it is still hard not to stop what you are doing just to watch him be so cute and happy. Simply, he is the perfect mix of playful energy and sweet affection. Diesel is young and active, and we believe he would be happiest in a home with a yard where he can zoom, toss toys in the air, and play fetch until his heart’s content. With an active life including regular adventures and play sessions, he could be an apartment boy but a home with a yard would be best. On leash, Diesel has great basic leash skills and shines when walking in an area without distraction, keeping an easy, steady pace is steady and showing great manners meeting new people. Diesels foster shared that when passing other dogs, he can get excited and occasionally bark. We did not see that during our afternoon with him but he was so receptive to gentle corrections and boundaries that we feel confident he will learn quickly once it is established what is expected. He’s social, outgoing, and adores people-he’ll happily climb into your lap for cuddles after a good play session. Diesel is dog-friendly and has a bouncy play style and can easily match a “rough and rowdy” player. He will thrive with a confident, playful female dog who can match his energy and handle his bouncy style. A more submissive dog could feel overwhelmed by his friendly and playful approach so we are looking for the right canine sibling fit but he could easily your one-and-only. Cats, however, Diesel would love to play chase with them so no feline friends in the home for him. Diesel is fostered in a loving home where he is learning and practicing all the best house manners. His foster shared that he is both crate and house-trained, and settles down nicely overnight, with only occasional moments of whining before relaxing for the evening. He’s full of enthusiasm, loves dinnertime, and will keep you smiling with his goofy, floppy ears and toy-flinging antics. Diesel is still young so he will need an adopter that is active and can give him on-going training, structure, playtime, and all the love he craves. In return, you are going to get an adoring, happy-go-lucky boy to welcome you home each day. Ready to welcome Diesel into your life?

Story
Meet Pixie People Lover! Pixie is a little under three years old and is believed to be a Pit Bull / Bull Terrier–type mix (rescue mystery, of course). What she is without question is adorable, affectionate, and absolutely full of life. She’s got the cutest floppy ears ever, one spotted, one solid, that fold and bounce depending on her mood, a tiny curl at the end of her tail with a little white tip, and that big ol’ pittie smile that makes it impossible not to grin back at her. Pixie is truly joy on legs. Pixie loves people. Like, really loves them. She’s the kind of dog who happily walks right up to say hi, asks for pets, leans in for cuddles, and wants to be near her humans as much as possible. Booty scratches? Yes please. Couch naps? Her favorite. Hugs? Absolutely. She’s social, affectionate, and would do great in a home that enjoys having visitors because Pixie thinks everyone is her friend. Watch her video to see her personality shine! https://youtu.be/15TuxlnM6Vk?si=AkN2gDONgRJWZzqk When it comes to playtime, Pixie is all in. Toys are her jam — stuffies, balls, tug toys, chew toys… she loves them all. She’ll play fetch with you, tug like a champ, or zoom around the yard entertaining herself when the mood strikes. She’s got a fun, bouncy energy but also knows how to settle and enjoy a good, long nap once she’s had her outlets. Pixie walks nicely on a gentle leader, which helps her stay grounded when exciting things pop up on walks. She can get a little amped at first (maybe sharing a few words with other pups on walks across the street), but she learns quickly and continues to improve as she works on checking in with her handler and staying focused. She enjoys being active and does best with regular exercise and a bit of structure, it helps her shine! She even went to a board and train where she made leaps and bounds going on pack walks and learning to stay neutral! Dog-wise, Pixie is selective. She can be playful with certain goofy, easygoing dogs and enjoys social time in the right settings, but she doesn’t want to share her home. Pixie would be happiest as your one-and-only pup, soaking up all the attention and not having to worry about managing other dogs full-time. And no kitties for this girl, way too tiny and fun to chase! Pixie has not officially been kid tested or been around kids much! So for now we’re guessing she’d be happiest with 10 and up! However with her people loving nature, we assume she’d be an amazing family dog! Pixie is looking for a rural home (no busy city life) with an experienced, confident handler who enjoys being involved, going on walks, and continuing her training in a positive, structured way. She’d love a yard to zoom in, a couch to nap on, and humans who want a loyal shadow with a big heart and a silly streak. Pixie thrives on companionship and connection and would be happiest in a home where she’s included in daily life and never feels like she’s missing out. The more time you’re home to spoil her, the better!! Pixie is not a “plug-and-play” dog — she’s a relationship dog. The kind who bonds deeply, loves hard, makes you laugh, and fills your home with warmth. For the right person, Pixie won’t just be a pet… she’ll be your best friend. 💗 Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
