Ryan here has the bounciest ears I have seen to date! He can best be described as happy-go-lucky! He just exudes happiness and if he had needed a name I would have suggesting Sunny because he is a little sunshine soul. He is so friendly, great kids and other dogs and is respectful of cats. Oh, almost forgot- he likes the water and has basic leash skills too! So that hike to that one waterfall- he is in!
If you want to see him in action take a few minutes to watch his video, then come back and read more but by then you will likely be in love!
Ryan is an adorable 39 lbs at an estimated 1 year old. So far he is giving itty-bitty shepherd/ black mouth cure mix and he isn’t expected to get much bigger. In rescue, age and breed are observations, never guarantees, but Ryan has some cute shepherd like features with a playful, friendly personality.
Ryan was introduced to a variety of dogs and was friendly and playful with them all, while respecting that not all dogs are eager to play. The most natural connection being with a similar aged playful dog. He would absolutely love to have a canine playmate in his forever home. His love of other dogs doesn’t take away from his connection with people. He adores people and is a friend from the start. On top of all his wonderful traits, Ryan is fortunate to be spending his days before adoption in a loving foster home with kids and other dogs. This is so important to share because of the amazing headstart it gives them to being a dog with house manners and a familiarity with the rhythm of a busy home. His foster family has shared that he was an easy addition to their home and has taken to both home and crate training very well, with no accidents in two weeks.
Thanks to size and personality, Ryan has apartment/condo potential but would love a yard for bouncing around and playing with his toys. An ideal home can look like a lot of things with Ryan, he is ready to fit right in! When we introduced Ryan to our house cat he was respectful of the cats space, never pulling to get to him or eager to chase. From what we have seen, we believe Ryan could peacefully live with a feline friend.
Ryan has basic leash skills but will benefit from continued leash work, socialization, and adventures to ensure he can build on that great base. His attentive nature to people and intelligence will likely translate into a fast learning and obedient dog.
If you have any questions about Ryan or would like us to test her for a specific setting or detail, please be in touch! We can make most anything happen to ensure she is the correct fit for you and your life!

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)

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.
