Story
The moment I met this dog, I immediately fell in love. Hondo Lane is one of those special dogs you don't come across often. He is so loving and loyal. Instantly felt comfortable with him and wanted to take him home. He really is a great well rounded dog that you don't want to miss out on. One of my favorite things about him is how gentle and respectful he is. Inside the house was very mindful of his surroundings and also would drop his toys every time you would approach and he was calm in the house. He also loves to give hugs which made my heart melt.

Hondo Lane is a Dogo Argentine/American Bulldog mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 67 lbs. He's a big boy and we believe he is full grown! We do not expect him to get much bigger if at all. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. We can guarantee that you'll be gaining a loyal companion by adopting Hondo. He is very dog friendly and loves to play and run around with his doggie friends. Hondo is also respectful to dogs that don't want to play, although he may give it a few attempts to try to play with them. After a few attempts at trying to get the other dogs to play with him, he just wondered around the yard, exploring with the rest of them until we brought out a playful dog for him to play with and then he was in heaven. He does have energy and will do best in a home with another moderately playful dog and in a home with a backyard. He would also do great with a family that likes to go on adventures. He is fairly easy to walk on a leash and only needs a few corrections here and there but he would make a great hiking or even running companion. Hondo seems to already have great house manners as well. He instantly knew when to settle down in the home and he was a very respectful young man in the house. He wasn't jumping all over the place or getting into things he wasn't suppose to be. He loved being on the couch and taking he kept taking his toys back to the couch to burry them in the pillows and he loved our super soft plushy pillow. It was like his favorite thing ever. I don't think he's ever felt something so soft before and he kept nuzzling his whole head into it and being so goofy. He also did this with plushy dog toys. So that might be a requirement for him. Must buy him plushy dog toys. Hondo has to much personality and he does the cutest little hops right before he gets his toys and it's adorable. To our knowledge, he is crate trained and potty trained but may need a reminder about where the appropriate potty places are once in his home. Hondo is treat motivated and very eager to please his humans which will help make any additional training that much easier. We are willing to test Hondo Lane with anything you need us to in order to ensure it’s the perfect match for you! We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

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!
