The innocence and sweetness that radiates from Sandy is the reason why you should adopt her. We immediately fell in love with her and her gentle soul. She has the type of eyes that look into your soul and instantly make you melt. Sandy loves affection, quiet in nature and she is so gentle to. She does take some time to warm up to new people but once she does you’ll find yourself a loyal best friend. She shows her affection by subtly leaning in or taking a teeny tiny step closer to her person for love. Sandy is the definition of love and she has so much of it she wants to share.

Sandy has a calm demeanor and does amazing with all dogs. She has a gentle play style and naturally matches the energy of her canine companions, whether they’re rambunctious or relaxed. Having another dog in the home is a must and it helps build her confidence, so she’ll do best in a home with at least one other dog. She’s still working on building her confidence and will require a patient family who can give her time to adjust to her new surroundings. A secure, fenced yard is a must to ensure she has a safe space to explore as she settles into her new life.
This sweet girl is fully crate-trained but enjoys sleeping in bed with her fosters. She’s also 100% potty-trained and hasn’t had a single accident while in foster care, which is super impressive for how long she lived outside. Sandy absolutely lives for her daily walks, where her gentle and easy-going nature truly shines. She loves getting out to explore, strolling calmly on a leash and remaining completely non-reactive to squirrels, bunnies, and other distractions. Walks with her are so easy and a joy! She also does great on short car rides, and loves heading out to walk around the local lake. She currently lives with a family that includes two teenagers, a resident dog, and a steady stream of foster pups ranging from six-week-old puppies to dogs as large as 70 lbs. She’s also cat-tolerant and has shown remarkable patience and adaptability with every animal she meets.
While she isn’t overly treat-motivated (yes, she’ll even turn down steak!), Sandy has one irresistible weakness: Colby Jack cheese. She simply can’t resist it! Her fosters use it as a treat and also wrap her monthly flea medicine with it. Another endearing trait? She’s incredibly quiet and rarely barks, making her the perfect companion for a peaceful home. Sandy loves affection, but on her own terms. She’ll let you know when she wants attention with slow movements, and enjoys chin scratches, head rubs, and chest massages. She’s just the right mix of affection… not super needy or in your business all the time, but also not apathetic or needing to be left alone. She just wants to connect in her own calm, sweet way.
Sandy is a calm and gentle pup, but sudden movements can make her a bit skittish, so she’d do best in a home with older, respectful kids who can give her the space she needs to feel secure. Her ideal family will be patient and willing to give her the time she needs to adjust, while also providing a stable and supportive environment to help her continue building her confidence.
If you’re looking for a gentle, sweet, and loyal dog who’s ready to share her heart, Sandy is the one for you. Apply today and start your journey together!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.
Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!
Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
The rescue’s hard costs alone for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,120. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that Three Little Pitties Rescue is not government funded.
It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
