Story
This is joy wrapped in fur and named Bilbo! He is an absolutely amazing little Pomeranian mix, we cannot guarantee breed or age but take a look and tell me what you think, better yet, when you get DNA results back let us know. Bilbo is estimated to be 5 years old and weighs an adorable 14 lbs.
Pomeranians are known for their friendly and affectionate nature, and Bilbo is no exception. Although he may look like he is winking at you and only you, it is due a condition called microphthalmia, which doesn't affect his quality of life, just makes him look a little flirty. He’s super sweet, loves everyone he meets, and flatters with a wink. The moment you sit down, he’ll be right there in your lap, and he’s happy to let anyone pick him up and carry him around. Bilbo is a kisser, too—he loves giving gentle little kisses to friends new and old.
If you are looking for a tag-along guy, Bilbo would like to be considered for the following reasons- leash skills, cuteness, ease, friendliness, adorableness… You get the point. Obviously the cute/adorable speaks for itself but I will rave about his leash skills- walking Bilbo on a leash is a breeze! He’s well-behaved and does great walking by other dogs. His size and outgoing nature make any adventure big or small, no trouble at all.
Bilbo would do well in a home with a low-energy dog since he’s not very playful himself, although that might change once he’s settled in a loving home. While he’s not very playful with other dogs, he’s polite when meeting. When we introduced him to our house cat, he was gentle , respectful, and even gave him a little “kiss.” Bilbo is more interested in hanging out with his people than playing with other dogs.
Bilbo would thrive in a home with a yard or even in an apartment thanks to his size and easy-going temperament He definitely has all the makings of a great family dog, he loves his people and is gentle and so tolerant. Dress-up and tea parties could easily be in his future! He is also a perfect gentleman with feline friends!
Everyone absolutely loves Bilbo and he gives it right back. He is ready to bring joy and love to his new home, family, and neighborhood. If you’re looking for a sweet, easygoing companion, Bilbo is your guy! He would love being able to tag-along when you run those otherwise dreaded errands. He promises that with him in tow it will be way more fun!
If have any questions about him or would like us to test Bilbo for a specific setting or detail, please be in touch! We can make most anything happen to ensure he is the correct fit for you and your life!

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 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.
