Story
She may not wear a tiara or look like she would love frilly skirt but she is still our Princess. A tomboyish princess but one none the less.
Let’s get to know this girl! First off, yes she is a big girl and the term gentle-giant is used often to describe her. She knows the best fun is had with kids, they are happy and full of fun! Her gentle-giant nature can be especially seen with kids, she is mindful of her size and ready with kisses and love at the first sign of a skinned knee or hurt feelings. As dog-lovers we absolutely adore when a big dog like her is sweet on kids! Her love of tagging along makes her a great fit for the 5+ kiddos.
Estimated to be 3 years old, and weighing in at 81 pounds, we believe that Princess is a Cane Corso but, despite what we know, we cannot say with 100% certainty her breed or age.

Princess is absolutely gorgeous, with the signature blocky head of a Cane Corso and a muscular body. She has a beautiful black coat that almost appears to be layered on top of a brindle coat, in the sunshine she’s practically gold. Add on that she knows the power of eye-contact and she uses her golden eyes to really connect with you. It is easy to see and feel how much she values her people and that loving bond. She has such a lovely, gentle and slow presence, that feels comforting to have near.
Big dogs often get a reputation for being hard to walk on leash but not Princess, her slow nature really shines as she walks gracefully by your side at the pace of Grandma on a Sunday morning. When she passes dogs she is polite, offering a nose to nose greeting if offered and otherwise continuing on. Off leash, she is polite with other dogs but most dogs are intimated by her size so she doesn’t always get the sweet, playful welcome some dogs do so she approaches slow and steady. Princess has had the joy of spending her days at a doggy daycare in a variety of playgroups. This has really helped highlight her “type.” Stay with me because this is going to sound funny- Princess loves little dogs! Not itty-bitty, just smaller than her with some of her best connections being the 15-30 lb range that have a similar chill vibe to hers. She is in the phase of life where the rowdy busy energy of puppies or wild-ones is not for her. A love-connection of hers that we all loved was with a male pocket bully type- short, squatty, with a wheezy moment of zooming before its nap time. That explains it all really. She does not need a doggy-friend though, being your one-and-only would be an absolute dream!
Princess is actively learning commands which is so fun- she genuinely glows when she learns something new and she knows it. Between how smart she is, her eagerness to please, and her love of treats, she is set-up for easy training. This girl is also so good in the car, granted she is big so maybe not the two-seater type, more like an SUV gal riding in the backseat. When it is time for adventure or errands, Princess will happily wait for you to leash her up and get the door, such a lady.
If a big ol’ loving lady resting her head on your lap is what you are looking for this girl is made for you. These gorgeous, gentle giant types go fast, so apply today! Princess is ready and waiting for you!

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!

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.

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.
