Egret is a beautiful white dog with a regal presence. His looks and demeanor let us believe he is a unique blend of Dogo Argentino and Rhodesian Ridgeback but with a rescue this is at best, an educated guess. No matter what breed make-up he is, Egret can be best be described as calm and collected.

This 4-year-old, 50 lb rescued boy has a sweet-natured soul and a heart full of love. A happy home life may gain him a few pounds but he is expected to settle in between 55-60 lbs, a great medium size. He has young dog energy in small bursts, and would benefit from being in a home with a yard that will allow him to explore and run around freely. Egrets sweetness makes him a perfect candidate for the role of a family dog, as he is great with kids! He is learning leash manners and knows a few basic tricks and we anticipate training will be easy as he is very responsive to treats and praise from his person.
He is great with other dogs, of all sizes, offering an aloof personality to interactions, he will rarely be the one to initiate play but is happy to engage when prompted. This energy and style of play would be a great fit for a family with existing pets- a limited ability dog or one that has a more playful personality who will naturally initiate play. When meeting the rescues resident house cats, Egret was initially respectful but quickly became overly interested, so it would be best for him to be in a feline-free home.
Egret is a true lover of the belly rub! He loves lounging around and enjoying moments of relaxation with his humans. Whether it's a quiet evening on the couch or playtime in the backyard, Egret will be a happy boy as long as he has a warm family to spend his days with. His current foster reports that he is both house and crate trained and we expect him to bring these skills to his new home but it is possible he will need your support as he transitions and adapts to a new space and routine.
All of these wonderful qualities are wrapped up in an eye-catching, graceful and sleek physique with distinctive features. Truly a one-of-a-kind companion!
Egret is in good health, up-to-date on vaccinations, and has been neutered. He has received wonderful care during his time in rescue and is ready to embark on a new chapter with a forever family.
With Egret by your side, you'll experience the unconditional love and companionship that only a four-legged rescued friend can provide.

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!
