Meet Silas O'Donnell, the 70-pound heartthrob with a stunning blue-gray coat, a hint of white, and a whole lot of love to give! We think he’s a Pit Bull/Blue Lacy mix, but whatever the breed, Silas is 100% handsome with a personality to match.
At around 4 years old, Silas is showing off his gentlemanly side—he’s never had an accident inside his foster home and hasn’t even tried to mark his territory. His foster mom says he’s a gentle, affectionate guy who greets every day with gratitude and kisses. His signature move? Mid-walk somersaults in the grass, followed by a proud sploot, as if he’s marveling at how wonderful life has become. This boy knows he’s found his second chance, and he’s soaking it in.
Silas is crate-trained and incredibly patient, walking in with no fuss and greeting his foster family with four BIIIIG stretches before he's ready to shower them with affection. He’s a low-energy guy who loves his naps but is always up for a gentle adventure. In the car, he’s a calm co-pilot, happy to join you wherever you go!
Recently, Silas had the chance to spend time with young kids, and he absolutely had a blast! He was polite, gentle, and thrilled to run and play with them—earning some serious "good boy" points. When it comes to other pups, Silas is a bit of a social butterfly! He’s figuring out the whole "play" thing, but he’s already best buds with his Doberman foster brother. A moderately playful dog in his forever home could be the perfect companion to help him blossom. Cats, however, might be too tempting—our resident feline didn’t get Silas’ stamp of approval.
And while Silas is still getting the hang of toys, we just know he’d love a basket of chew toys all to himself in his new home. Imagine his delight with a bunch of fun, squeaky chew toys to help him discover the joy of playtime!
Silas is already working with his foster mom on commands like sit and come, and he’s nailed down “sit” like a pro! Silas takes correction very well and is eager to learn—he’s going to be a fast study for any family ready to continue his training.
If you’re looking for a grateful, cuddly, and smart buddy who’s all about the journey, Silas O'Donnell might just be the one. Apply to adopt him today—he's waiting to bring somersaults, sploots, and snuggles into your life! 🐾

The adoption fee is $800.00 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.
