COURTESY THREE LITTLE PITTIES RESCUE
Three Little Pitties Rescue saves thousands of pets each year Friendswood nonpro t Three Little Pitties Rescue is saving thousands of dogs and cats from shelters across the Greater Houston area each year, said founder and Executive Director Alayna Matranga Goodson.
How it works Three Little Pitties was founded in 2018 by three friends who saw an overwhelming need for more rescues in the area, Matranga Goodson said. Sta work with dogs and cats at their 2-acre facility, which features large oak trees and play yards with baby pools. Matranga Goodson said her team provides medical care, and runs play groups and one-on-one training to keep them socialized. She said it’s crucial they keep pets social and happy while they’re waiting to meet a family. “They’re living beings,” she said. “You have to continue to get to know them and improve on any of their challenges.”
Diving in deeper Every other week, the nonpro t transports over 100 rescued animals to regions across the U.S. They have their own bus service and hire sta to drive and care for animals along the way. Expanding marketing e orts across the country gives these animals a better chance of adoption and gets them to their new homes faster, Matranga Goodson said. “[There is an] overpopulation of animals, a lack of homes and the lack of care for them,” she said. “And shelters are doing their best, but even if you got the Astrodome they would still run out of room. They would still have to euthanize.”
