Shadow is a 3-year-old, 60-pound Cur and German Shepherd mix with a HUGE smile and a tail that never stops wagging! This sweet and snuggly boy lives up to his name. He'll happily follow you around, sticking close by your side as your loyal companion.
Shadow's FAVORITE place is upside down in your lap or arms. It doesn't matter if you are outside in the yard or on a couch. Shadow loves to be the center of your world, and we believe he deserves it!
Shadow's love for people extends to kids too.
He is ever so friendly, and cuddly with kids of all ages. He doesn't knock them down, but might just flip right over for a belly rub. We know Shadow would make a great family dog, just save a couch cushion of him to snuggle in to.
Shadow is a pro at walking on a leash and enjoys exploring the world with you. He's also a social butterfly who gets along great with other dogs, both big and small, making friends wherever he goes. He has charmed everyone with his friendly demeanor and has shown himself to be potty trained, making him the perfect housemate.

Shadow is dog friendly, but he really just prefers people. We think Shadow would do fine in a home with or without dogs. He most of all just wants to be by your side or making you laugh. He’ll sit right next to you, looking up with the sweetest smile as if you’re the best thing he's ever seen. He’s ready to be your new shadow, offering endless love, snuggles, and companionship.
Shadow does well in his crate with bone to chew on. He isn't a big barker unless he sees you and just wants to come out and snuggle. We think Shadow would do well in a home that was busy or had visitors since he is such a happy greeter to all people. Shadow has met teenagers and was so snugly. Shadow would either love to be in a home with a family with kids or even a single person. that loves to take their dog places with them.
If you're looking for a loyal, loving dog to be your next best friend, Shadow is the one. He’s ready to find a forever home where he can share his big heart and sweet smile with his new family. Adopt Shadow, and you’ll gain a faithful companion who will brighten your days for years to come!

*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

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.
