We have all heard the statistics about how often black dogs are overlooked in the rescue world. Don’t be part of that statistic because I have done the research and you will be missing the chance at one awesome dog! Buttons might look black in pictures but in person she is this beautiful black/brown that almost looks purple in the right light. But beyond color the most important fur-related detail you should know is- SHE IS SO SOFT! Cozy cuddly soft!
In rescue, breed and age are details about a dog that we cannot know for sure but we estimate Buttons is just shy of being 3 years old, is possibly some type of pit bull/shepherd mix, and she weighs an adorable 52 lbs. When our team reported her estimated age I was reminded that you cannot guess a dogs age based on how playful the sight of toys make them. If I went off that I would have said she was a year old, she lights up and bounces for a toy the way most puppies do. It sure is cute! Take a look in her introduction video, you will see the happiness that a good toy brings this girl.
Buttons has been lucky enough to be hosted by a foster family and they shared she has great house manners and was such an easy addition to their home which includes other dogs and children. On top of being great with other dogs of all sizes, she is a perfect lady with cats, and is adoringly patient with kids. Whether you have other pets or she would be joining your family as the one and only, she is going to fit right in! Thanks to her calm demeanor and size, Buttons could easily be an apartment/condo girlie. If you have a house with a yard, thats great too, more room to play!
Its cliche but wait, there’s more! Buttons is great on leash and a perfect walking buddy! This is an amazing family dog who is ready for the goodness of a simple life. People of her own, a soft place to sleep, a few toys, and in return she will fill your days with endless love, a heap of fun, and some amazing snuggles. Plus kisses, sweet soft kisses.
Please don’t overlook Buttons, she is an amazing dog who just so happens to be available for adoption!
If you have any questions about Buttons or would like us to test her for a specific setting or detail, be in touch. We are happy to do whatever it takes for you to feel confident in your choice to adopt Buttons.

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)

• 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.
