My story

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

Butter will melt your heart! He has a wonderfully goofy personality that will always keep you laughing. He is friends with everyone he meets- dog or human! Butter has never met a stranger. He’s about 1 years old and weighs 40 lbs. He’s the perfect size to load up and go anywhere with you. He may sound big but boy is he the definition of a pocket Pittie!

Going to start with total transparency so we find the right fit for him! Butter’s butt hole will occasionally leak poop, approx 4-100x per day. Extensive testing was done by the rescue and there’s nothing more we can do to fix this other than keeping him on the right diet and probiotics. He is on a grain free diet. He lives a COMPLETELY normal and happy life other than this issue.

His foster brothers and sisters include an 85lb Dane mix, a 45 lb Pittie, a 50lb Pittie, 2 little puppies AND a cat! He is great with other dogs and cats! He is the most friendly and social boy ever.

Butter looks to be a pit bull mix and he lives in a loving foster home while he awaits someone to notice him!

Butter is kennel trained and potty trained when he isn’t accidentally leaking. He knows he is leaking too and will beg to go outside by crying. He is great on leash and is a quick learner! He loves treats and is food motivated. He is well mannered in the home and laid back, mostly napping unless it is playtime with the other dogs. If lounging around the house, he’d love to lay with you or at your feet. His big cushy bed is his favorite! He will need a machine washable one as he will occasionally leak on it.

The cutest thing about Butter is:

Butter is a very happy boy and gets so excited every day for everything! Whether it be crunching on a bone, eating his food, going outside, or going on a walk- he loves it all. Attention is the key to his heart, next to food! Car rides are also his favorite thing because he knows he gets to get a pup cup! Boy does he love some Starbucks!

Butter is a big couch potato and will stretch out either next to you or over you, it doesn’t matter! He can get comfy anywhere. Butters foster says his favorite place to snuggle is on the outdoor couch when it’s sunny out. He will lay right over her legs or spoon her in the crack of the pillows! This boy loves to lay belly up and scratches are always welcome.

He would make a wonderful adventure partner. He loves the outdoors and sun bathing. He enjoys rolling around in the grass and his foster says his favorite time to do so is when it’s freshly cut and it stains the white of his face green! He enjoys going on hikes or trips to the beach. He does have to stop for potty breaks more frequently but it does not slow him down any!

Butter is searching for a family who will love him just the way he is. His imperfections and all! Someone who can look past his disability and love him unconditionally. Mess and all. His foster mom cannot rave enough about him! Apply now to adopt Butter. He is such a special boy!

Available for adoption to anywhere in the US. We transport near or into 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 or bus 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. We can help to find the closest transport pick up location to you!

The adoption fee is $550 and includes all vetting per our veterinarian: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter surgery, flea prevention, 2-6 months of heartworm preventative according to age, heartworm testing and heartworm treatment if applicable, 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 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:

• 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 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.
