Story
Need some love in your life? Millie has saved a couple kisses just for you!
We believe that Millie is a Labrador mix of some sort. She’s estimated to be around 1 year old, and currently weighs in at 50 snuggly pounds. Millie is a rescue, so these are just our best guesses!
Meet Millie here: https://youtu.be/1EVYBKd6dpA?feature=shared
Millie is currently fostered in a home with her loving foster parents, and their big senior chocolate lab mix. She gets along well with everyone, and she has great manners with her older foster brother! She could play all day, but she can take the hint when he’s tired of it. They like to snuggle up in bed together, it’s the sweetest thing. Human or canine, Millie loves to snuggle!
Millie is such a lovebug. The first thing you’ll notice about Millie when you meet her is just how people loving she is! This girl adoresss people, she loves affection and she greets everyone with a wagging tail and a big smile. She also loves touch, in all forms- it’s all love to Millie. She lets us hold her like a baby, pick her up, dress her up. She’s gentle and sweet and so tolerant.
Here at the rescue, Millie showed us much of the same with the other rescue dogs. She was so happy and excited to meet every new dog, ranging from puppies to grouchy older dogs. She was perfectly sweet with all of the other dogs, playful with our rowdy pups and respectful with less playful dogs. She walks well on a leash, and tandem walking with other dogs comes naturally to her. She shares toys, treats and affection well with other dogs.
Millie has a bouncy and energetic playstyle, she is the life of the doggy party and a total rockstar in any play group. If you want a dog for your dog, Millie is that dog! Considering how respectful and content she is with her senior foster brother, she could also do well in a home with lower energy dogs. Millie is just a very easy going, easy to love girl!
Here at the rescue, we also cat-tested Millie. Millie is cat-tolerant! She could live with a dog-savvy, playful kitty. She’s really a perfect fit for any animal lover’s home.
Millie is a total toy lover too. She’s happy to entertain herself with a rope toy or Nylabone for hours, but she also loves to share her toys! She loves to play “fetch” (or at least, “chase the toy and sometimes bring it back”) with humans and she shares toys well with her foster brother.
Millie is still so young and teachable, she’s just the right age to become just about anyone’s perfect dog. She will work for treats, and is also such a gentle and sweet treat taker. She knows “sit” and walks well on leash already.
While we haven’t seen her around kids just yet, we believe that Millie would make an amazing family dog. She’s so sweet and gentle, so tolerant and easy-going. It’s easy to imagine Millie living in a bustling home full of kids, with family members all around.
Millie is also a perfect adventure dog! She’s great on leash, amazing in the car, and perfectly sweet with everyone that she meets. Take this girl to patio cafes, outdoor markets, or concerts in the park, watch her make friends and win hearts.
Here in Houston, we recently had a very rare snow day! Millie spent the day joyously bounding around in the snow, her happiness was so contagious that it even got her senior foster brother to play. She loves the snow, and had so much fun, we would love to see this cutie in a 4-season state! She would love a home somewhere where she could enjoy this weather annually.
Millie is ready for her forever! We think Millie could live in just about any type of home. She is so confident, well behaved and people friendly that we believe she could do well in an apartment. She could live with other dogs, but she could also thrive as your one and only. She would love a playful dog-savvy kitty in the home to keep her company. She does ask that we special request a comfy reading chair, couch or bed for her, as she loves to lounge on the furniture. We are willing to test Millie with anything you need us to in order to ensure she’s the perfect match for you! We can make most anything happen! Just let us know.

We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. 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!
The adoption fee is $825 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectible, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship!

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.
