Meet Maverick!
Maverick is estimated to be 8 months old and weighs 44lbs currently. We think he may be a German Shepherd/Catahoula Leopard dog mix but with rescue it's always a mystery! What we do know is this pup is ready to find his family and blossom into the best pal a family could ask for!
Maverick is a bit shy, but his confidence is growing every day! He likes to meet new people and loves when they give him treats. Maverick is very treat motivated even when he is in a new place or around new people! This cutie doesn't discriminate when it comes to treats! He loves them all- he especially likes carrots and blueberries as his special treats! He very good about eating his fruits and veggies! Maverick is very smart, and his treat motivation will make him a quick study in learning all the things he needs to learn. Maverick's foster mom says he loves horns/antler chew toys! He even tries to take them wherever he goes! He's also a fan of anything that squeaks!
Maverick loves affection! He craves pets from anyone even new people! He loves to roll over and have his belly rubbed and gets as close as possible to the human who is giving him the affection! Maverick did great with other pups. He immediately opens up to his new friends! Maverick is also great at taking breaks from play when he needs one! We think Maverick is young enough to learn to live with a cat. Maverick sniffed our cat during his test and walked away- he would pick up how to be a doggy brother to a kitty very quickly!
Maverick would love to find a family who is committed to building his confidence and his doggy skills. He is kennel trained- his foster mom says he knows the word kennel and what it means! What a smart boy he is! Maverick is very polite when it comes to food and waits patiently for his turn. He has been practicing on his leash skills and would love a family to help him become a walk super star! Maverick would like a doggy sibling with a similar play style or even a human sibling- older kiddos would be a great fit for him!
If you would love to help Maverick become the awesome pup, we know he is apply today!

*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 effort 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
• 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 6-year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 13,000 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.
