Story
🐾 Meet Hope! 🐾
Hope is currently about 10 months old. We think she may be a Lab/Pittie mix, but with rescue it’s always a guess! What matters most is that they are adorable and are one the MOST desperate in the entire US based on statistics for where this puppy is from. Shelters in this area are having to euthanize puppies. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from this rescue, it saves his/her life as well as the life of another in its place.
Watch Hope's video here:
Hope is the perfect young lady that everyone is hoping for– she is so calm and agreeable. Hope is perfectly shy and almost timid at first, but she warms up to you quickly, especially with lots of treats, toys, and sweet talk. (That works on most humans too, by the way.)
We have yet to hear Hope’s voice – she’s a quiet girl that is alert and watchful of her surroundings. When she heard lots of dogs barking in the next room, Hope was alert and curious, but still quiet and calm – this happy gentle girl is such an easygoing puppers! Hope loves her humans too – she is very affectionate and loves to be next to you or in your lap, if you let her. She will be the most loyal companion to whoever is lucky enough to pick her.
Hope is quite distinctive and delicate in appearance – she has short tan fur that is fuzzy soft like velvet and irresistible. You will want to give her pets and scratches and belly rubs, and Hope is happy to oblige you. She has white markings on her chin and chest that mark all the best spots that make this sweet girl smile. But it’s perhaps the darker markings on her ‘eyebrows’ that make Hope so expressive and fun to watch. She uses both her eyebrows and her long happy waggy tail to communicate her emotions well – she really is quite adorable! With her calm and mellow attitude, we can easily see her fitting right into your home as the most faithful and attentive family member.
Hope plays so well with others. We would LOVE to see Hope adopted into a household with other dogs. She is so friendly with other dogs and we know she would feel more comfortable having another dog to bond and play with. We think Hope would fit right into a family that already has a dog (or dogs) that can show her the ropes, and her calm and relaxed nature would make acclimating so easy!
Ideally, she and her foster sister Josie would be adopted together, but we know that’s not always an option. (Or is it? Look up Josie Alexis for an equally adorable and playful girl that has already bonded with sweet Hope. Two dogs may sound like a lot, but these two make an easy and lovable team.)
Hope is still young so she will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. Hope is a clever girl that is well on the way in all of these areas, but her new family will need to continue with potty and crate training and daily exercise. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy. When old enough, they will be perfect to go on walks and hikes or show off around your neighborhood.
Get ready for a lifetime of love and puppy kisses with Hope by your side!

Available for adoption in NV, MT, CO,UT, ID, OR, WA, Canada, and now the East Coast! Our PNW dogs are brought to you in style by a beautiful USDA licensed semi-truck, equipped with air conditioning for comfort, two drivers, and 2 onboard attendants providing 24 hour care. Our East Coast route will travel in a private, air conditioned 3LP-run van transport.
Pick up day is unforgettable! You will get to follow along on their journey through a private FB Event page, where you will see photos, have the opportunity to connect with other adopters, and receive updates and constant communication along the way. One of our Adoption Coordinators can help to find the closest transport pick up location to you!
The adoption fee is $800 and includes all vetting as recommended by our doctor: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine (if old enough), multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, 2 months of heartworm preventative, extended medical such as dentals, eye surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries prior to adoption when suggested by our partner vets, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar for dogs over 4 months old, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and many priceless years of love and loyal companionship!
*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 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 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.
