My story

　　Ladies and gentleman, the king has arrived and his name is King George! Let's go ahead and get the obvious out of the way and talk about how handsome this young fella is. I mean if you're a meat head lover, George is your guy. We hope you are fine with strangers coming up to compliment you about your dog because that is exactly what's going to happen when you go out on the town with King George. He'll love it too! He loves meeting new people and loves to show off his handsome good looks. Not only is this guy eye dropping, he has a great personality to match. He is loving and a gentle giant! He also loves to give kisses so be ready to slobbered on. Can he get any more perfect?!

　　King George is a Cane Corso mix approximately 3 years old and currently weighs a whopping 104 lbs. Although we do believe he is full grown, he may gain a few more pounds. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue it’s always a mystery but its pretty safe to say he has some cane corso in there some where. This goofy big fella is dog friendly and did great with all of the dogs we introduced him to, big and small. Although he did do good with small dogs he will most likely do best in a home with other large dogs. He will play for short periods of time and is quite gentle with his play and respectful. If other dogs don’t want to play, he will respect them. His size can be intimidating to some dogs so he will be best placed with other confident aloof dogs in the home. George is very tolerant too! So tolerant that he got bullied by a small little scruffy dog that only weighed about 20 lbs and he actually bit him on the nose and George simply walked away! George would do good with other dogs in the home but also would be great as an only dog. He does not need the company of other dogs to feel comfortable and will be completely fine being the king of the palace. George also did great during is cat test. One of our resident cats smacked a few times and he was completely unphased by it. We do not know if George has ever lived with cats before nor can we guarantee that things won;t change once in a home. We do believe that with slow and proper introductions he can coexist in home with cats. George does great meeting new people and he may sometimes bark out of excitement but his little tail is just wagging away. George is medium energy and due to his size he would be best placed in a home with a backyard where he can stretch his legs and run. He has a well balanced energy about him but will require mental stimulation and excersice then he’ll be good to snuggle with you on the couch if you let him. George already knows basic commands such as sit and walks well on a leash but will need a strong handler. He is treat motivated and to make sure he remains the best doggie citizen he can be, he will need a family that has experience with big dogs. 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 forever home. We are willing to test King George 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!

　　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 $1000.00 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

　　• 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.
