Hi there! My name is Zeppelin Ray, and I'm here to tell you why I'm the perfect pup for your family!
First things first, let me tell you about my manners. I'm crate trained - just say "nap time" and I'll happily curl up with my favorite scrunched up blankie. Indoors, I'm a picture of calm with a structured routine that keeps me content. I might not be the most confident explorer of new places, but I'm full of excitable curiosity! When it comes to playtime, I'm always up for a good romp, whether it's one-on-one or in a big group. I'll be the first one to dive in and the first one to roll over! And when nature calls, I'm a real gentleman, preferring to do my business in the privacy of the side yard without ever lifting a leg. We think I'm a Lab/Cattle Dog mix, but with rescue its always a bit of a mystery! I'm currently weighing in at around 50-lbs, but I am still growing.
When it comes to showing affection, I'm a pro. I love nothing more than snuggling up next to you for some good neck rubs or resting my chin on your lap for some ear squeezes. And speaking of snuggling, I'm the perfect mix of cuddly and independent. I'll happily watch Netflix from my dog bed, but if you let me, I'll gladly join you on the couch for some quality cuddle time! Now, you might be wondering if I'm a chatterbox - fear not! I'm not much of a barker, but I might let out a whimper or two when I'm feeling anxious, especially at the vet's office. But just tell me to "let it be," and I'll calm right down.
Car rides? Piece of cake! I'm the best co-pilot you could ask for. I might need a little help getting into the back seat, but once I'm settled, I'll just sit back and enjoy the ride. And when it's time to unload, I'll hop out all on my own.
Leash walks? Well, let's just say I'm more of a homebody. I'll tolerate short walks, but I much prefer lounging around the house.
Oh, and did I mention I'm a quick learner? I've already mastered commands like come, sit, stay, and kennel (aka nap time). And with a little help from some tasty treats, I'm sure I can learn even more!
I'm being fostered in Friendswood, TX and I can travel to the PNW, the East Coast, and Canada.
A note about adopting a puppy from the Houston, TX area: Based on statistics, puppies from this area are one of the MOST desperate in the US. Euthanasia rates are incredibly high for both puppies and adult dogs. This precious baby is safe with us now, but there are so many more to save every single day. Our adopters truly save lives.

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 youve 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 dogs 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 doesnt stop there! Our adopters also receive these special perks:
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)
