My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Who weighs 50 lbs but is some how bringing a ton of fun? Marcus! At one year old he has the secret to happiness unlocked, too bad he can’t tell us but he will still share it. We have no clue what a dogs breed is in rescue but Marcus definitely gave our seasoned educated guessers a run for their money. Final answer is black mouth cure meets pittie meets boxer. We can tell you with confidence that he is a good time and even better company.
If we are going to start with just looks I want to highlight his smile. Its big, expressive and he shares it freely. That smile brings out his gorgeous buttery color and shiny coat. Then there are his eyes, lined with black but the color of a golden sunset. Can you tell that I spent just a little too long looking at him?

His personality is friendly and joyful, with people, other dogs, and even our house-cat Tom. He isn’t pushy when playing with other dogs, in fact he is happy to just be in the company of other dogs and although he is young he was well-behaved and respectful of each dog he met. That same respect was offered to the house cat when they were introduced, he easily took the hint that the cat was not interested in being friends and gave him space without repeatedly trying again.

Marcus has great basic leash manners, better than most 1 year old dogs and will benefit from some polishing but comes pre-loaded with a great base. You could take him on a walk straight away and he would make you proud. If you live in a walkable neighborhood he is going to be a regular on the block and may even be the first one who gets greeted by the neighbors. Thanks to his size and quiet demeanor, Marcus has potential to be an apartment boy, but only if you promise him walks and a few good toys to keep him company. If you have a yard, be prepared to watch him literally hop around the yard. He gets an actual hippy hop bounce in his step when he is doing a happy run- it’s so good and just like everything he does- smile worth!

So if you are looking for one golden brown, smokey-eyed good boy, your search is over. You found him! We call him Marcus but you can call him yours!

If you have any questions about Marcus or would like us to test him for a specific setting or detail, please be in touch! We can make most anything happen to ensure he is the correct fit for you and your life!

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 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!

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.
