If you love lazy mornings spent in bed, little treats and cozy blankets, Iris just may be your soulmate!
We believe that Iris is a perfect blend of Pittie and Lab, but she is a rescue so her exact age and breed cannot be guaranteed. Estimated to be around 2 years old, Iris weighs in at 43 pounds.
Fall in love with Iris here: https://youtu.be/rXH4tbzg0Jg?feature=shared
Iris is dog-friendly, and did really well meeting new dogs here at the rescue. More than that, she loves all animals! This precious girl is a total animal lover, fostered in a home with all types of animals, including bunnies! She hangs out with them, roams the house with them, with no issue. Here at the rescue, Iris was cat tested with a little black kitten named Poe. She did well meeting Poe and was so careful and sweet with her.
Iris is a super gentle treat taker, and food motivated which will make any further training enjoyable and rewarding for both of you. She already knows “sit” and walks well on leash! She’s such a good girl. She’s easy in the car too, she loads up on her own and can ride in the back of an SUV, or in your passenger seat.
A total lovebug, Iris loves affection and seeks connection with her humans. She loves pets, especially booty rubs, and will arch her back like a cat when you hit just the right spot.
Iris loves loves loves toys!! She’s so silly and fun playing with them. She likes to carry them into bed and roll around with them. She’s quite the fan of a cozy spot, dog beds, human beds, couches, you name it.
Here at the rescue, Iris spent time with a 4 year old, and was so good with him!! We could definitely see this girl being a family dog. She was gentle and sweet with him, soft body language and a wagging tail told us all that we needed to know! Iris is a really precious and sweet girl with such a loving soul.
Iris has such a relaxed vibe, we think she would enjoy a calm suburban or rural home. Iris could easily live in a home with another dog, medium energy and relaxed like herself, but she’s could also thrive as a solo dog. Iris just loves her people so much, she would adore having all of you to herself. We could see her living with dog-savvy kitties or other small animals. We think Iris would be happiest in a home with a fenced yard, because she loves to explore and sunbathe. We think Iris would love the family dog lifestyle with kids over 5 years old. We are willing to test Iris with anything you need us to in order to ensure she is the perfect match for you! We can make most anything happen! Just let us know.

We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!
You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!

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.

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.
