Just like the northern lights, this Aurora is something to see and experience. From her little piggy snorts to the way she tucks her cutie-booty when she is playing, this girl is just as colorful in spirit. She is gentle, easy-going, and feels like familiar company from the start. Its no wonder she is a people person, she makes everyone she meets feel loved and they radiate it back to her. See some of her cuteness in action in her Get-to-Know Aurora video- https://youtu.be/23c8-c_ljJ0
Aurora is what we call an itty-bitty-pittie, she is a petite little thing so as much as she loves to snuggle on the couch, she doesnt take up much space at all. When she curls up for a nap she doesnt even take up a whole couch cushion. Thanks to her size, quiet nature, and leash skills, she is a perfect candidate for apartment or condo company. On leash she walks at an easy pace and can pass other dogs with ease and confidence. Her approach to other dogs on leash is comfortable, happy to greet if invited but understanding that not every dog is an invitation to stop and say hello.
As we get to know a dog we introduce them to a variety of dogs to get a feel for their play style and see who they gravitate to. Aurora is always a wonderful addition to play groups, she has great dog-manners, knowing when she is invited to play and when to take breaks to let others play. It is sweet to see her quiet confidence as she enjoys a walk about in the yard while a whole crew of dogs play around her. Her approach is similar with people, she is great at engaging and checking in, always ready to snuggle or to offer some love, but she otherwise is content napping nearby. We estimate she is about 2 years old, always an estimate with a rescue, but her personality is one of a dog whose puppy days are a distant memory. Quiet, confident, loving and easy-going, that is Aurora.
An ideal home is hard to describe because she will fit in such a variety of homes and families. If you are looking to add a dog to your family and have kids, she is a yes. When introduced to a bouncy 3 year old, his dinosaurs and a treat party she showed us that noise is not going to bother her and she had a gentle mouth when taking treats from his hands. No kids? Thats just fine too, you will be more than enough to make her feel loved. If you have another dog she will make great company, she is very mindful of space when playing with a friend inside, no bull in the china shop moves with her. Even a cat is a-ok with her! When she met our house-cat she was polite, curious but kept a respectful distance. She would absolutely want to meet the cat but with guidance and clear boundaries we anticipate she could live peacefully with a feline-friend.
If she sounds like just the girl for you- apply today!

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!
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.
