Hi, I am Sharla! I am a solid black Labrador Retriever mix puppy. I may have some pittie mixed in with me as well, but it is difficult to tell for sure. I was found as a dumped puppy near a fire station and was taken in by the firefighters on a cold evening. They bathed me and contacted rescue, and within a few hours I was in my foster home! It is very fortunate that I got to go to a foster home with another puppy, Sheldon, who has become my best buddy. I am estimated to have been born on the 22nd of September 2024, and Sheldon is two months older than me, but he is my best friend and we play together every day for many hours. I am currently fifteen pounds at twelve weeks of age, and it is estimated that my adult weight will be in the fifty- to sixty-pound range. In my foster home I am with a large variety of other dogs, and they all serve as mentors to me. I get to experience different breeds, personalities, and ages, and this has helped me to become very doggie social. I am crate-trained in my house, and I do enjoy my crate because I get to eat and have treats in my crate often! I love to eat because my puppy body is growing and I need the nutrition! Crate-training is helping me to learn potty training as well. As soon as I come out of the crate, I go outside and potty. I will also let foster dad know if I must potty in the middle of the night by yelping to be let out, and when this happens, I go out and potty and go right back to bed. Puppies need a lot of sleep!
I am looking for a forever home where I can be an integral part of the family. I want to go on errands with you, walks, visit your friends and their dogs, and take family trips with you! I have gotten off to a very good start in learning how to be the perfect adult companion to you, but I am still a puppy and do need continued patience and guidance. In my foster home I have plenty of toys to chew on, which I need since I am teething. And when I have a potty accident, it is no big deal, foster dad just realizes he did not let me out when I needed to go. I need that kind of positive training to continue as I grow up! I am highly motivated by food and affection both, so I can bond and learn from you easily. I want you to spend time with me, love me, care for me, and in return I will give you an entire lifetime of love and companionship. If you think that sounds like a good deal, then please fill out an application for me and talk to my adoption coordinator.

*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 or the NE 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 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
• 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 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.
