Look at Sunny and tell me dogs don’t smile! It just isn’t true! The best part is that sunshine smile matches the way it feels to spend time with him. This dog has a zest for life that has made me personally want to experience more alongside him and he makes it easy to do. Great in the car, easy-on-leash, steady energy and he honestly makes you feel like the most amazing and important person in the whole wide world. Who doesn’t want that in a dog?
If you have ever wanted to be the reason for the sparkle in a dogs eye, Sunny is your boy. His face lights up in a way that can make the good days better and the bad days not so bad.
To add to his almost cliche Labrador-like wholesomeness, he is a fetch all-star! If you’re up for it, he is too,but if not, cozy couch time is equally great!
Sunny enjoys other playful dogs and his enthusiasm for play is seriously entertaining to sit sideline for. If there was potential for a perfectly-paired-playmate for him it would be a fun-loving, light-hearted female dog. Those are his favorite buddies! But honestly, if it were all up to Sunny, he would be your-one-and-only! He has more than two dogs worth of love to give that’s for sure! If you are a bit of a social butterfly, you and Sunny could be the new Sunny & Cher ( see what I did there.) This guy can work a room, greeting guests with a warm welcome and enthusiasm is his specialty! When y'all aren’t hosting your neighbors and family and friends, Sunny is ready to be your adventure buddy. With his A+ car rider skills and well-mannered leash skills, whether it's errands or a weekend getaway, this boy is ready! All those trails and look-out points you have saved for someday…well with Sunny, today will be the day! And if you are planning on training for a 5K in the new year, Sunny is up for that too. We didn’t know that until he was the special guest at a Run Club in the city where he showed how beautifully he keeps pace for a jog and can stay focused even when running by ducks and every type of wheeled thing possible. Before or after all the fun, Sunny will join y’all on the patio at your favorite spot and just be happy to be there with you.
An ideal home for Sunny would include a yard or access to open space for the occasional game of fetch or for a little nap in the sun. At 60 lbs he is a medium large dog but is fully crate trained and is quiet in or out of his crate so small-home living would be great too! More than anything Sunny needs to shine for someone who looks at him with the same golden-good love he gives. This boy is smart, attentive, adoring, and a wonderful companion.
If any part of Sunny speaks to what you are looking for in a canine-companion, please reach out to Kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org she will be happy to help answer any questions to determine if he is the best fir for you and your life.
He is being fostered in Texas and ready for a virtual meet and greet. We are ready to answer any questions you have about Sunny.

*WE ARE TOLD THAT WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND MEDICALLY. This is the feedback we tend to get, although we cannot guarantee perfect health.
*To fully vet a dog in the PNW at many vets it would be upwards of $1,800 just to fix, vaccinate, chip, etc. The adoption fees charged by our rescue do not cover our expenses medically for each animal, but we offset costs with donations. Your adoption fee is considered a donation towards actual costs.
Why adopt from Three Little Pitties?
The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is the highest in the nation. Statistics show that there are over 1 million homeless animals in this region alone. Three Little Pitties Rescue is a nonprofit dog and cat rescue that partners with the community to make a difference. Our mission is to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and saving all breeds of dogs and cats from the streets or animal shelters that oftentimes have no other option but to euthanize animals for space. This dog you’ve found online is lucky to be in our program, and even luckier to have you notice it!
Three Little Pitties wants to set you and your new pet up for success! We know our dogs and we work hard to prepare them socially for adoption. We are a network of dedicated people who are heavily invested in seeing our animals thrive. From the moment they are accepted into our program, our Intake, Behavior & Medical teams prepare them for adoption by properly vetting, behaviorally assessing, and providing customized plans depending on the dog’s needs. We provide weekly socialization programs for our dogs through playgroups and group leash training classes available to all dogs in our adoption program, and Doggy Sleepover, Doggy Day Out, and Ambassador programs for our boarding dogs. There is a professional dog trainer on staff to provide support for our fosters and dogs, and an off-site dog trainer for dogs that need more extensive behavior modification. This helps us learn deeply about every dog, prepare them for adoption, and ultimately match them with loving families. We seek to adopt to families who understand that these are rescue dogs and will require continued training efforts, but will be well on their way to being the best dogs that they can be!
It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these special perks:
• 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion (must register within 24 hours of first vet appt.)
• A free private online dog training session with GoodPup plus low pricing for future sessions (approx $25 weekly for an 8 week course of one session per week)
• One free bonus toy in every BarkBox when signing up for their Super Chewer subscription plan
• 70% off of your first order of Fetch, a PNW based, organic fresh dog food loaf meal subscription plan
• Coupons for a fun visit to Petco
• Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup!
We celebrated our 5 year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 12,000 very lucky dogs and cats into amazing homes! By adopting from us, you save TWO lives! The pet you adopt, and you create an opportunity for another animal to be saved in that spot. Together, we can be heroes.
