Alfies dream home includes a playful female dog who shares his love for fun and companionship. Hes a true family man and would thrive in a home with kids who can match his boundless enthusiasm. If you have a cat, Alfie could settle in well with one whos more avoidant, giving everyone the space they need. And for his outdoor adventures? Alfie would absolutely adore a yard to roam, play, and call his very own.

This adventure-loving pup is always up for a hike, a camping trip, or a long walk around the neighborhood. Hes excellent in the car and learning to walk like a gentleman on a leash, making him the perfect partner for family outings. And when the days adventures are done, Alfie will be right there for snuggles and belly rubs.

While Alfie is potty trained and has mastered crate training, hell thrive with a family committed to continuing his training and socialization. Hes still young, and with your love and guidance, hes going to blossom into the most well-mannered and affectionate dog you could ever imagine.

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 rescues 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 caresuch as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic carecan 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!
