My story

Meet Mike, our charming little heartthrob! This guy’s got an undeniable cuteness that instantly grabbed everyone’s attention. The collective “AWWWs” and baby talk started the moment we saw him, and once he showed us what a perfect gentleman he is, we were all smitten. Add to that his friendly approach to everyone he meets and it doesn’t get much better. The perfect combo: friendly, adorable, and impossible to ignore. Be ready to make some new friends on your walks because people will absolutely stop you to ask about him. Mike is a strikingly handsome boy, we estimate he is around 6–7 months old, currently he weighs about 25 lbs, and is likely a pittie mix. He has beautiful silver eyes to compliment his coat. You won’t be able to stop staring at him! Due to him being a rescue, age and breed are our best guesses and cannot be guaranteed. Check out Mike here: https://youtu.be/EypA8N7NY8c Mike currently lives with 5 other foster siblings ranging from 10 lbs to 50lbs and does great around them! His favorite thing is playing around the yard, chasing them and being a typical joyful playful puppy. When meeting other dogs, Mike led with shy curiosity and puppy-like enthusiasm. He truly shined when the toys and cheese were brought out!. He can definitely be playful, but he also knows when to chill. His ideal match would be a slightly older, medium-energy dog who enjoys some play but also knows how to take breaks and can help guide him as he comes into his own. When we introduced Mike to our house cat, Biggie, he kept things calm and gave him cautiously curious sniffs. We consider Mike to be cat friendly! But if a cat were to start zooming around, he may see it as an invitation to play. A calm, low-energy, dog-savvy cat who can set boundaries (a well timed swat) would be the best fit. If in a home with a cat, we’d love to see him with a balanced dog companion to help anchor that energy. When Mike met Blaze and Xen (9) he was a sweet shy guy with them. He gave them gentle tail wags and puppy kisses. He is still learning the perks of having little kid affection and would do well in a home with older, polite children that understand how to let a puppy get used to his new surroundings. Mike has potential to adapt to apartment life with the right structure and exercise, but he is a growing puppy and has bursts of energy, so a house with a yard would be ideal. He’s affectionate, eager to bond, and has the makings of a great family dog! Mike checks a lot of boxes: cute, social, smart, and affectionate. With the right home that can guide him through his puppy phase and give him structure, this boy’s going to grow into something truly special. Is Mike the boy of your dreams?

Email elizabethbower@threelittlepittiesrescue.org 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! 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 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion A free private online dog training session with GoodPup, plus low pricing for future sessions 70% off of your first order of Fetch, a delicious PNW based fresh dog meatballs subscription Coupons for a fun visit to Petco 20% off of Dr. Cuddles pet first aid and hygiene solutions Discounted heartworm, flea prevention, and monthly dewormer 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! 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. https://www.threelittlepittiesrescue.org/ https://www.facebook.com/threelittlepittiesrescue https://www.instagram.com/threelittlepittiesrescue Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life? APPLY TODAY and become a hero for pets in need! *Due to the rising cost of fuel and transportation expenses, there will be an additional $74 surcharge for transport.
