My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

That handsome boy is named Eris! Eris is a swoon-worthy puppy, so cute and sweet and smart! Already good on leash and great with other dogs, and cat-tolerant!

Fall in love with Eris here: https://youtu.be/78rnBj46dn0?si=NLNy_ORhdWINTrzR

Eris is a 35 lb, 7 month old adorable pit bull mix puppy that is ready to love his forever human! While his exact breed mix is a bit of a mystery, what's crystal clear is his need for a forever home. Eris is one of the most at-risk puppies in the country, a dire reflection of the situation in his area where shelters, overwhelmed with puppies, sadly have to make difficult decisions.

Eris epitomizes puppyhood—playful, sweet, curious, and always ready for a cuddle. His days are filled with fun activities, including playing with his puppy friends and taking plenty of naps. His current delightful routine is the cycle of eating, sleeping, playing, and repeating!

Here at the rescue, Eris has been cat-tested, and he is cat-tolerant. Eris could live with dog-savvy cats! See his cat test for yourself in his video.

With other dogs, Eris is still 100% puppy! He’s an enthusiastic player, but so sweet. He’s not too pushy, or vocal with the other dogs. Eris is good at sharing affection and attention with other dogs, and always just happy to be there!

Eris is just a puppy, but the rescue lifestyle has taught him a lot, and quickly! This cutie is great on leash, and here at the rescue, he doesn’t have indoor accidents! Eris knows “sit” and he’s not too pushy with his affection, he’s a careful and considerate snuggler (and kisser!) Eris looooves his couch time, and prefers to sit up, facing his human, giving little kisses and getting ear scritches.

As a puppy, Eris needs a family ready to embrace the rewarding journey of raising a pup. This includes continuing his potty and crate training (he is already a champion at both!), ensuring he gets daily exercise and socializing. By adopting Eris, you're giving him a new lease on life and making room for another puppy.

Eris is the ideal companion for neighborhood strolls, scenic hikes, or simply showing off his cute trot around the block. And, as a thank you for bringing him into your home, you'll receive a lifetime supply of puppy kisses and a steadfast furry friend.

Are you ready to change Eris's world and offer him the loving home he deserves while helping another needy puppy? Eris is eagerly waiting to start a new life filled with love and adventure with his forever family.

Available for adoption in NV, MT, CO,UT, ID, OR, WA, Canada, and now the East Coast! 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.
Pick up day is unforgettable! You will get to follow along on their journey through a private FB Event page, where you will see photos, have the opportunity to connect with other adopters, and receive updates and constant communication along the way. One of our Adoption Coordinators can help to find the closest transport pick up location to you!

The adoption fee is $825.00 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.
