Meet Taffy! She’s so exceptionally sweet, loving, confident, calm and respectful. This girl just might be the best dog at the rescue!
Taffy is around 2 years old, 50 pounds, and we believe her to be a Beagle, Pittie mix- however she is a rescue, so her exact age and breed are unknown to us and cannot be guaranteed.
Fall in love with Taffy here: https://youtu.be/uSxfGcWCJ5o
Taffy warms up to new people quickly! She’s all about love and will ask politely for pets. She’ll gently paw at you to ask you to keep petting, and she likes to hold hands!
When we brought in other dogs to introduce to her she was reserved at first, but she’s very playful with dogs she knows well. Taffy would be great in a home with a male dog, as she was found with a male dog and seems more comfortable and relaxed with them. Taffy also got the chance to meet the house cat, Tom. She remained calm and respectful to Tom and it told us that she could live in a home with a dog savvy cat.
Taffy is food motivated, and eager to please, she’ll be a very enjoyable dog to further train. She’s great at listening and being corrected when she gets excited for your attention.
Our favourite thing about Taffy is her little piglet tail she has. She’ll make it move for you when you give her treats and get on the floor with her for snuggles. Taffy loves people!
Taffy is great with kids, too. She’s very gentle and slow with them, which isn’t too different from the way she acts with adults. She does like to trail after kids, following them around and monitoring their safety and availability for pets.
Taffy has such a calm and relaxed demeanor, but outside, she knows how to play! Taffy would be an awesome dog to hike with, she’s easy on leash and she loves the water! This girl loves to splash around, and she’s a champ when the towel comes out. She loves to be dried off too! Why can’t every dog be like Taffy?
Her specialty is being a calm dog that is there for you when you need a companion to lean on. Taffy would thrive in a quieter residential home or apartment and benefit from continued leash training and walks. She is incredibly loving and will blossom with patience and love from her new family.
Come meet her, in person or virtually via video call, and see if you can give her the love she deserves! We are willing to test this dog with anything you need us to in order to ensure she’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 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)
• One free bonus toy in every BarkBox when signing up for their Super Chewer 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.
