My story

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

If you have admired the adoring connection of a mid-size beefcake dog and their long-time owner, you could have that adoration in basically an instant with Reggie. A perfect little buddy, go-to guy, right-hand-man, basically the lover-boy of your dreams! He is easy-going and joyful with an absolutely adoring set of eyes. Connection comes fast and easy with him, making falling in love almost impossible to avoid. Within 5 minutes of meeting him, three separate people were trying to argue over who loved him more.

Watch his video and you’ll see why we are obsessed: https://youtu.be/VsHgCqQxPis?si=4S17a3YwOsUbw1H1

We estimate Reggie to be about 3 years old, he weighs 55 lbs and is possibly some kind of bully mix. Though Reggie is fully-grown, we believe he will gain a few lbs of “happy-fat” once he is home. With rescue, age and breed are something we can only make an educated guess on but his personality doesn’t leave us guessing- he is a happy boy! This is one of those dogs that is practically glowing with love and sprinkles happiness wherever he goes. He wants love and you and everything else is just a big ol’ bonus. Thanks to his size and his calm, easy-going nature he is great on leash and passes other dogs with ease, though his friendliness means he is going to slow down on occasion to try and meet passing friends. But potty breaks and walks around the block will be a treat for you both. If you have a home with a yard, this guy will be the best addition! A little patch of grass, a spot of sun, and the chance to wander around with you while you garden or lounge by your side while you read is his dream life. From what we have seen, his age comes with all the things a dog lover wants- a house and crate trained, nap-connoisseur. If he is already this happy, we can only imagine how he is going to flourish when he knows he is home and has a person of his very own.

Reggie loves kids! At the rescue, Reggie spent time with a toddler and a few young teens, and he was lovely with all of them. He gets excited when they’re merely present, but he’s pretty gentle with them once he’s actually interacting with them. If your kids are used to big dogs, Reggie will fit in perfectly, and adore your kids almost as much as you do!

Reggie could easily live with another dog, preferably with the stamina of a mature dog, you know the type- a little play but a lot of lazy, he is also up for the role of your one-and-only. He is the definition of a people’s dog, loves to be around his people and would make a great work from home companion.

So if you are ready for an adoring, gorgeous, easy-going, lovable itty-bitty beef-cake, Reggie is an amazing boy who fits that criteria beautifully!

If you have any questions about Reggie the adoption process or would like us to test 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/62cc8e128b02916730334440/66604cac0ffda121320f741d

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 $825.00 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.

It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:

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.
