Holly Dolly beautiful Lab Aussie mix approximately 6 months old and currently weighs 34 lbs and is still growing. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Holly is just a baby and still has a lot to learn but man oh man is she so willing and eager to learn. Holly is very treat and toy motivated which will make training a breeze and that much easier. She loves to please her humans. She needs to work on some basic obedience training such as sit and needs to work on her leash skills too but she will pick it up quickly. Holly has so much love to give that she jumps with joy when she’s happy and will need to learn that she can still smother her people with love without jumping. She is really smart and within the short amount of time working with her she was already understanding the “no jumping” concept. Holly Dolly would do best in a semi active home with a backyard where she can run around, go on hiking adventures with and trips to the beach as she loves the water. Once her leash skills are superb, she would make a great hiking and running companion. Since she is still young, she does have puppy energy and will need a family that will give her the training, stimulation, and exercise that she needs. Holly does settle in a home and even in chaos when there is a lot going on she has great house manners. She is very dog friendly and did great with all of the dogs we introduced her to. Holly would do best in a home with other moderately playful dogs like her but can also be a only dog as well. She does not need another dog in the home to feel comfortable and open up. She is a social butterfly and loves everyone and everything. Holly also did fairly well during her cat test. There was a lot going on when she was cat tested but her initial reaction was to be avoidant which is a good thing. We do not know if she has ever lived with cats before nor can we guarantee that this won’t change once in a home enviromrnent with cats. With proper and slow introductions, we believe that she has the ability to co-exist with cats. To our knowledge, Holly Dolly is crate trained and potty trained but may need a reminder once she arrives at her forever home especially since she is still so young patience is a virtue. We are willing to test Holly with anything you need us to in order to ensure it’s the perfect match for you! We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

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:
• 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)

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.
