My story

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

This is Freckles, aptly names so for his gorgeous black and white speckled freckled coat. In rescue breed and age are offered as educated guesses given we do not know a dogs history but we believe Freckles is about 3 years old and is possibly a Staffordshire terrier/ Australian Shepherd mix. He weighs in at 82 lbs so he is bringing big snuggle possibilities.

Freckles is an easy-going and confident boy, he leads with a bit of aloofness but that's just his way of checking things out. Once he feels comfortable he will come and check-in for some affection, showing his tail-wagging friendly side. He responds positively to a connection and comforting presence without needing constant reinforcement or praise. I can see Freckles being great company for putzing around outside, whether it's some gardening or tending to any ol' thing, Freckles will be happy to keep you company without getting in the way.

Walking with Freckles is a breeze! He corrects easily, stays close, and follows commands well. Plus, he's able to walk past unfamiliar dogs without any reactivity, showing his calm, unbothered, personality.

We introduced Freckles to multiple dogs and he was easy-going and calm. With time and the right connection he may show a more playful side. He's looking for friends, just needs some time to warm up. He will need some decompression time once he arrives in his new home, just a short period of understanding while he gets settled, but the reward is a loving and affectionate companion

Freckles was introduced to our house cat Tom, his interest and overly focused attention tell us he wouldn’t make a good house-mate to a cat. He would likely try to chase a cat and that chaos is nobody’s favorite. In our books, that is perfectly okay! Just like people, not everyone is a cat-lover.

Freckles’ dream home? One with a yard to explore and soak up the smells with a sunny spot for mid-day naps. With space to allow him to go out he will be able to show you how content he is by himself when needed. He can entertain himself with just his own company and that is a skill in itself.

To sum it up, Freckles is one incredibly cool looking boy, confident and easy-going, good on leash, enjoys company of other dogs, not really a cat-guy, and is looking for his fur-ever home! A hidden gem waiting for the right crew to see him shine. Your patience, understanding, and love, will help Freckles become a cherished member of your family!

f you have any questions about Freckles or would like us to test him for a specific setting or detail, please be in touch! We can make most anything happen to ensure he is the correct fit for you and your life!

Adoption Application: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/65f08d5278df96ffb0076209

We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. 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)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. 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!

You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!

The adoption fee is $400.00 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectible, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship!

We have over 15,000 successful adoptions so far and have excellent Google Reviews:
https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.

Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. 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 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 $1,120. 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 fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that Three Little Pitties Rescue is not government funded.

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!

Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
