Story
Clementine and cutie are interchangeable terms for the fruit and the same applies for this little gal. Sweet as can be with a zen-level peaceful ease. I don’t know how but this girl walked into a very busy, hectic day and seemed to take all of it away. Her simple presence is incredibly calming but when she comes to lean in for love, that’s her magic touch, it all sort of melts away. She even moves slow and steady, no urgency just presence. If she was a person she would be a yoga master who holds meditation workshops and always wears beautiful earth-toned linen. Maybe a little specific but you get it.
Back to the fact that she is a dog, she has wonderful dog qualities! Clementine is fortunate to be fostered in a loving home with other dogs, cats and people who confirm the sweetness of her. They have shared that she is house trained, quiet, so respectful of their cats and an easy companion to their dogs. She is attentive because she is adoring, which also leads to being sensitive when reprimanded. A soft approach to teaching and boundaries will be all she needs. She is estimated to be about 2 years old, she weighs an adorable 18 lbs, and observation tells us she may be a Chihuahua/ dachshund mix. Of course, given she is a rescue we cannot guarantee breed or age but we do guarantee cuteness and lovability!
Clementines dream home would be a peaceful place, where other pets are welcome, but the most important element is love and security. Her needs are basic, it truly is a person who to literally lean on and a soft place to lay. She would make a wonderful companion for someone in the slower days of life and would be a perfect small living space companion whether thats an apartment, condo, or retirement community. She will offer gentle hello’s to anyone she meets without ever being pushy or insistent. If kids are in her life it would be best if they were slightly older only so they can understand that she needs to be treated with care.
She is a dream on leash and does well in the car, though we suspect car rides make her tummy feel funny. Her foster shared that Clementines favorite moment of the day is when its evening tv time followed by bedtime, basically the guaranteed snuggle time. As soon as she sits down, Clementine is there to curl up next to her, occasionally bringing one of her loved stuffies along with her. In between snuggles sessions she will literally curl up with a stuffie. It is adorable! And although she is crate-trained, she is trust-worthy when allowed to free-roam. She isn’t destructive or spooked by sounds or visitors. Honestly, she can best summed up by saying, she is all-around easy.

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

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.
