Ida State's Story
Hi, Im Ida! I'm an adorable 8-week-old blue pitbull mix puppy. I'm still a growing bundle of joy, but my mom is a sleek 42 pounds. We're not quite sure about my dad, so it's a mystery how big I'll grow up to be but I'm sure I'll be the perfect size for lots of cuddles and fun! I'm currently living with my amazing foster mom who has a great sense of style she dresses me up in the cutest sweaters, and guess what? I absolutely love them! They make me feel so cozy and loved, especially when I'm napping or playing around. I'm just beginning to explore the world, and everything is so exciting! I love playing with toys, running around with my siblings, and giving lots of puppy kisses. I've heard people say that bringing a puppy into your life is a big deal with real challenges, and I totally get it! While I promise to give you endless kisses, wagging tails, and cuddles, I'll need you to teach me how to be the best dog I can be. I promise to try my best to learn quickly, but I'll need lots of patience and consistent training. Trust me, it'll be so worth it when I grow up to be a well-behaved, loving member of your family. Im being fostered in Friendswood, TX and I can travel to the PNW, the East Coast, and Canada. A note about adopting a puppy from the Houston, TX area: Based on statistics, puppies from this area are one of the MOST desperate in the US. Euthanasia rates are incredibly high for both puppies and adult dogs. This precious baby is safe with us now, but there are so many more to save every single day. Our adopters truly save lives. Please email [email protected] with any questions.

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 youve 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 dogs 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 doesnt 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! 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.
