Story
Are you ready for a whirlwind of joy and excitement? Look no further than Penny Smith, our 2-year-old Aussie Lab mix (we think! With rescue it's always a mystery) with a heart as big as her crystal blue eyes or Texas! Found on a rainy and stormy Texas night, this 40-pound bundle of wiggly energy was rescued by two compassionate souls. Her rescuers saw the sparkle in her eyes and knew she was destined for greatness.
Penny is not just a dog; she's a full-on adventure partner! With her boundless energy and playful spirit, she’s always up for a game of fetch with her favorite Nerf Chuck It balls or a thrilling round of hide and seek (we won't give away her go to spot!). We recently discovered that Penny seems to be a fan of water too! This clever girl is a quick learner and loves to show off her smarts, but she could use a bit of help with her leash skills—after all, every adventurer needs a trusty guide!
When she's not running around like a goofball, Penny enjoys lounging in the yard, basking in the sun, and stargazing on her back after a long day of play. She has also taken up watching the lizards on the fence (check out the picture of her staring at the fence, that's her lizard watching stance!)- nothing makes her happier than been outside enjoying nature. Spread out a blanket on a clear night and Penny will lay right by your side star gazing! She is also always up for a good ole cuddle session! This snuggle bug would thrive with a doggy sibling and a yard to call her own. Penny is also cat-friendly and would do well with older kids who can match her energetic pace.
Penny will need a home with an experienced family familiar with her breed, where patience and commitment are key. With the right love, time and guidance, Penny will become your loyal companion, always ready to brighten your days with her smile and uncontainable zest for life.
If you're ready for a life full of laughter, play, and endless adventures, Penny Smith is the one for you. Apply today and see how this total goofball can steal your heart and become the star of your life’s next big adventure!

*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
• 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 6-year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 13,000 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.
