Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Look at Nixon and tell me dogs don’t smile! It just isn’t true! The best part is that smile makes his whole face light up and that expression of his matches the way it feels to spend time with him. This dog has a warm ease to him, that slow and steady kind of love. Great in the car, easy-on-leash, steady energy and he honestly makes you feel like the most amazing and important person in the whole wide world. Who doesn’t want that in a dog? Take a look https://youtu.be/Jpn_NGWc-iE
If you have ever wanted to be the reason for the sparkle in a dogs eye, Nixon is your boy. His face lights up in a way that can make the good days better and the bad days not so bad.
To add to his almost cliche wholesomeness, his foster family shared his love of fetch, if you’re up for it, he is too, but if not, cozy couch time is equally great!
Nixon enjoys the company of other dogs, with his most beloved playmate being his brother who is living alongside him in his current foster home. The two of them play just like brothers do, enthusiastically and with an enthusiasm for wrestling that is seriously entertaining to sit sideline for. If there was potential for a perfectly-paired-playmate for him it would be a fun-loving, light-hearted female dog that isn’t going to push too much as he gets settled into a new home but will be ready to play once he is “unpacked.” But honestly, Nixon is equally interested in being your-one-and-only! He has more than two dogs worth of love to give that’s for sure!
If you are a bit of a social butterfly, you and Nixon could be quiet the duo! This guy can work a room, greeting guests with a smile as his warm welcome, it is his specialty! When y'all aren’t hosting your neighbors and family and friends, Nixon is ready to be your adventure buddy. With his car rider skills and well-mannered leash skills, whether it's errands or a weekend getaway, this boy is ready! All those cutesy cafes, hiking trails, and dog-friendly camping spots points you have saved for someday…well with Nixon, today will be everyday!
An ideal home for Nixon is flexible, he is an apartment/condo friendly boy or would be happy with a yard or regular access to open space for a little fetch or laying in the sun. At 57 lbs he is a medium size dog, honestly he barely stands knee high but has a full-size body, his size really adds to his charm. From what his foster has shared he is fully crate and house trained and is quiet in or out of his crate, so small-home living would be great too! Nixon does need a cat-free home, he isn’t considered the most polite boy according to our house cat. If you have watched his profile video you will know why. More than anything Nixon wants to shine for someone who looks at him with the same golden-good heart eyes he has for his people. This boy is smart, treat motivated, attentive, adoring, and a wonderful companion.
If any part of Nixon speaks to what you are looking for in a canine-companion, please reach out to kathleen@threelittlepittiesrescue.org she will be happy to help answer any questions to determine if he is the best fit for you and your life.
We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!
You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!
The adoption fee is $825 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectable, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship!
We have over 15,000 successful adoptions so far and have excellent Google Reviews:
https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.
Our rescue has a 2-acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs, and we enjoy seeing their progress!
Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
The rescue’s hard costs alone for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,120. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that Three Little Pitties Rescue is not government funded.
It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:
Extensive behavioral testing and information from trainers on our staff to ensure the perfect fit for your family
Discounts on Embark DNA test kit- $30 off of Breed ID test & $50 off of Breed ID plus Health test

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non-profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
