Meet Panthera, the graceful and loyal canine with the deepest, soulful eyes, and jet-black coat. She is smart, well-behaved, and eager to have a forever home!
https://youtu.be/mBhIjzALPrM?feature=shared
This beautiful, all-black beauty is ~60 lbs and 1 year old. We think she may be a Staffy/Lab mix, but with rescue its always a guess. We like to call them a Texas Surprise! She was given her name because she looked like a graceful and majestic black panther as she would pounce on her toys as she played.
Potty trained and crate trained, Panthera possesses a repertoire of commands that demonstrate her intelligence and eagerness to please. She knows "Sit," "Lay down," "Settle," "No," “Outside,” and “Night Night.” She is a very good girl who just wants to please her people and be rewarded with yummy treats and lots of pets. She does not jump up, but will instead sit patiently at your feet with a wagging tail, waiting for you to give her attention.
Panthera thrives in the company of people, kids, and/or other dogs. She embodies a sense of loyalty and watchfulness. She has spent her whole life in a loving foster home with her mom and siblings, who have given her a great start in learning doggy manners. She also lives with her foster parents, a special needs granddaughter, and another adult who is in a wheelchair. She does great with people of all ages and abilities, as well as other dogs.
Panthera's gentle spirit shines brightest in atmospheres where she can take leisurely naps and indulge in her favorite pastimes. Some of her favorite activities include playing with her squeaky toys, chewing on bones, or munching on apples with peanut butter.
With her quiet demeanor and penchant for napping, Panthera could thrive in an apartment setting as long as she receives adequate exercise and affection. She’s pretty good on leash, making daily walks a joy.
She has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and vetted to ensure she’s healthy and ready to go to her forever home.
In Panthera, one finds not just a dog, but a cherished friend whose presence illuminates the darkest of nights and brings warmth to the quietest of days. Embrace her, and you'll discover a loyal confidante and a kindred spirit, forever by your side.
Currently fostered in Texas, she is ready to travel to her forever home in the PNW or NE areas!

Our PNW dogs are brought to you in style by a beautiful USDA licensed semi-truck, equipped with air conditioning for comfort, two drivers, and 2 onboard attendants providing 24 hour care. Our East Coast route will travel in a private, air conditioned 3LP-run van transport.

The adoption fee is $800 and includes all vetting as recommended by our doctor: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine (if old enough), multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, 2 months of heartworm preventative, extended medical such as dentals, eye surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries prior to adoption when suggested by our partner vets, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar for dogs over 4 months old, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and many priceless years of love and loyal companionship!
*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 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.
