Millie the Little Pittie

My story

Millie Lil’ pittie here is a pocket-size girl, perfect fun-size, even travel size, and she has the fastest little tail wag I have ever seen! Take a look and then come back to read more! Two things we often have to make an educated guess on with rescue dogs is breed and age, Millie is estimated to be around 2 years old and is a perfect combination of a pittie and something small, weighing 39 lbs fully grown. When you get the DNA results let us know! One thing we know for sure is her size adds to her seriously charming and adorable personality. I am talking about a toy loving, bouncy thing who is practically magnetic and has never met a stranger. Once she meets you it is BFF status! She loves a treat and knows a few basic commands but she also loves sweet talk- an enthusiastic “good girl” said in her direction makes her light up! She has great basic leash skills and keeps a nice easy pace by your side. Thanks to her size and overall quiet demeanor, Millie is a great candidate for apartment/condo life. Of course, if you have a house with a yard she will fit right in. From what we have seen she is house and crate trained though we always anticipate they will need some help learning a new routine and their way around the potty places. When introduced to other dogs Millie was polite but overall showed more of a companion energy than a playmate. Granted, it was hot and all she truly wanted to do was lay in the shade. She has lived with a variety of dogs and has moments of playfulness but would be happiest as an only dog. She is so people driven and loves toys, so a few toys and regular snuggle sessions are all she is looking for. No kitties for Millie though, she was eager to meet our house cat in a way that tells us she would love to play chase with a cat and that only leads to chaos. We could easily see Millie as a family girl or a single someones bestie! Millie was a big hit with a group of kids age 4-7 and was so overwhelmed with happiness her tail did not stop wagging the whole time. She was gentle and never once jumped up to steal a kiss and was perfectly fine with the chaos a few young kids can bring. If you are looking for a sweet, joyful, petite little pittie, you have found her! Millie is ready for adoption now and is ready to be the best thing to happen to you this year! If you have any questions about Millie or would like us to test her for a specific setting or detail, please be in touch! We can make most anything happen to ensure she is the correct fit for you and your life! Please email kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions.

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)!

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!

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 (excluding transport) 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 $1,368. 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 adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. It doesn’t stop there!

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!
