Nat was her original name but she is so sweet she lovingly earned the nickname “Honey Bun” from her foster family. Her sweet personality and coloring make it just the cutest fit so as far as I am concerned she is Honey Bun, Honey for short.
First, Honey is here for the people! Certified social butterfly. She is a fast friend and so affectionate which makes connecting with her feel so natural. When it comes to energy levels, Nat is just right in the middle—she's got enough pep to keep up with all the fun of life, but is also absolutely ready to chill on the couch if thats the plan. If you are considering adopting Nat and you have another dog or are imagining taking her to the corner cafe, Nat is equally dog-friendly so she will fit right in. When she is playing with another dog she makes the cutest chatty-sounds! It’ll give you a giggle hearing her talk about it.
Pair her all-around friendliness with her leash skills and you have yourself a perfect companion to join you at the farmers market, weekend hikes, or simple strolls around the block. She is at the sweet spot age wise too, estimated to be 3 years old, she has put the puppy days behind her, sowed the oats of the teens, and is now settled into the best part, the easy part, where the naps are long and know-better is high.
Honey is so fortunate to be waiting for her adoption day with a foster family. This is important to know because it gives her a beautiful head-start on being well-prepared for the family-dog life. Her foster family lives in an apartment, with a baseball playing 10 year old and one of her favorite moments is when she gets to tag-along at baseball practice. She lights up around kids and it makes her magnetic to dog-lovers. The biggest bonus with a dog that has been living in a foster home is by far the best gold-stay, Honey is both house and crate trained! Isn’t that the best!? She also has great basic obedience skills and a gentle mouth.
Honey is so versatile given her size, leash skills, and easy-going nature. Whether its an apartment, condo, or house with a yard, in the city or the country, Nat will fit in anywhere.
So, if you're looking for a loving, well-behaved, and photogenic pup to join your family, look no further than Nat. We are ready to answer any questions and test her in any situation. Trust us, you won't be able to resist her charm or the cuddles.
An angel sponsor has graciously covered part of the adoption fee to help make it more affordable for loving families. The total adoption fee is featured with the sponsor already deducted.

*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:
• 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
• 25% 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.
