My story

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

Meet Pedro! He is currently almost 18 pounds, 4 months old, and we think he may be a small Black Lab/Pit mix, but with rescue it’s always a guess! This puppy is from a part of the US where puppies are regularly euthanized. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from this rescue, it saves their life AND it also allows us to save the life of another in its place.

Watch Pedro's video here:


Pedro is an adorable bundle of pure puppy love. This perky little fellow thinks he’s a lot bigger than he actually is! Don’t worry, we think he’ll grow into his attitude (at least a little bit), and in the meantime, this determined ‘lil man can handle anything in his path. In fact, one of his nicknames is “Lil Man” and we love that moniker – it fits Pedro and his big personality perfectly!

Pedro is currently in a loving foster home with several other larger dogs and is, by choice, smack dab in the middle of everything. His foster family confirms that he is super confident around other dogs (even the big ones, lol) and we think this speaks volumes to their amazing socialization efforts – Pedro is on track to be one of the top dogs and we wholeheartedly approve of his confident swagger! His foster family has often found him sleeping on his back with legs up and twitching, enjoying all the best puppy dreams.

Pedro is sleeping through the night and does really well in his crate. He loves to go on short trips and errands in the car too – is there anything this adorable pup can’t do? (The answer is no, because Pedro will try anything and conquer everything with his can-do attitude.) Pedro is progressing well on potty training, and this clever pup is learning all the right things from his foster family!

It is entirely possible to be top dog and still enjoy snuggles and cuddles, and Pedro proves this over and over with his affectionate nature and loving personality. One of his favourite places to be is held in his fosters’ arms or perched over his shoulder – the position doesn’t seem to matter as long as he can be close to you. Pedro loves to show his affection and approval, so be prepared for this little guy’s endless stream of kisses and tail-wags.

At first glance, Pedro is an all-black dog with pops of white at his chin, on his chest, and on three of his feet. The black and white combo is certainly striking, but get this gorgeous little guy in the direct sun and you can also see flashes of a brown brindle pattern on his sides that is simply stunning. But perhaps the best thing about Pedro is the sweet smile that is always on his adorable face. Pedro is confident and cute – the best combination of all!

Pedro is still young so they will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. His new family will need to continue with potty and crate training and daily exercise. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy. When old enough, they will be perfect to go on walks and hikes or show off around your neighborhood.

You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend!

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 or the NE 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 6 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.
