Story
Big head, big heart! Dude is a seriously hunky guy, with a case of snuggle-fever and a booty that was made for scritching. He’s a total dreamboat, with gorgeous deep brown eyes and an affinity for couch time.
We think Dude is an American Bully, Pittie mix- but he is a rescue, so these are just our best guesses! We estimate his age to be just around 3 years old, and he currently tips the scales at a perfectly beefy 85 pounds.
Fall in love with Dude here: https://youtu.be/9WIO1TCicY8?feature=shared
Dude is a lazybones, couch potato type. His playstyle is described best as slight, and slow. He’s a total lover, and so affectionate with everyone. He’s outgoing and sweet, a few pets are all you’ll need to secure a friend for life in Dude.
With other dogs, Dude is polite but reserved. He’s not one for playing games of chase or tug of war. He’s currently fostered in a multi-dog home, where he’s besties with a female Husky, so we can confidently say that this guy can live with other dogs. He is, however, way more of a “people’s dog” than a “dog’s dog.” Dude is better described as “dog tolerant” than “dog friendly.” With dogs, Dude doesn’t discriminate in his somewhat-aloof disinterest, he’s just the same regardless of their size or stature. He did just fine meeting our small dog tester, a twenty pound scruffy terrier mix. With kitties, it’s all the same. If they can’t pet, Dude doesn’t really care all too much about them. He’s a perfectly polite addition to any animal lover’s home, but he wouldn’t turn his nose up at the opportunity to be an only dog, soaking up all of your attention and affection for himself.
In his foster home, Dude has had experience with kids. He mostly hangs out with tweens and teens, but has spent brief time with younger kids aged around 7. He’s sweet and happy with kids, and we could see him doing well as a family dog.
Dude rides well in the car, he has good house manners, and he’s learning his leash skills. He knows “sit,” and will sit for a treat or two! He gets into the kennel easily for a treat, and doesn’t whine in the kennel. Dude is pretty lazy in his day-to-day life, but he wouldn’t mind a few relaxed walks around the neighborhood every now and then. He loves treats, especially cheese, and takes them so gently.
The coolest thing about Dude? Bath time is a breeze with this guy, he likes pets so much that he just enjoys being bathed. Book this cutie a spa day, stat!
Dude is such a dream, and he’s ready for forever love. We could see him living in a home with other pets, dog-savvy kitties or medium to low energy dogs. We think he would make a great family dog. He is so cool, calm and collected that we believe he would be a great fit for the apartment lifestyle! We are willing to test Dude with anything you need us to in order to ensure he is the perfect match for you! We can make most anything happen! Just let us know.

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 $900 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectible, 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!

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.
