Here's what the humans have to say about me:
He bounces when he runs, loves a tennis ball, lives to explore, and is a handsome head-turner. Bruce is his name, he weighs 56 lbs, is estimated to be 1 year old, and is possibly a staffie/shepherd mix but with rescue we can never know age or breed with absolute confidence. We do know, and I’m sure you will agree, he is absolutely a handsome good-boy! He also has the cutest little underbite! It is like a charming little secret about him. See if you can spot it in his "get to know me" video.
At first, we all thought Bruce was a shyer dog but even though he starts with slow greetings, he warms up quick. That’s when you see his happy, bouncy side! We learned quickly that his favorite type of ball is a tennis ball, he can catch it in mid-air, and is happy to hand it back to you. He knows a few basic commands, including sit, but the most important thing you should know is he is treat motivated and fully focused when he knows you have some in hand for him. This is a dog that is super smart and motivated to learn so new commands and tricks so training should be a piece of cake! Bonus! He also has a super soft mouth when taking treats or returning a ball.
Bruce is quiet and at 56 lbs he has the potential to be an apartment dog but more than anything, we would love to see Bruce in a home with a yard. He was content and peaceful to explore that yard, was calm and quiet at the fence when someone walked by, and sure does love a bouncy run-about so a fenced yard would be the jackpot for Bruce. He is going to be great company whether your doing weekend yard-work or hosting a barbecue, His energy level is set to relaxed and steady making him a good fit for a person or family that loves a good adventure but also adores movie nights and lazy Sundays.
Bruce was introduced to a handful of dogs and did wonderful with all the introductions and the playtime that followed. He never got to full on playing with any of the dogs but we can see he has a playful side in there. It is common for dogs to show their full playfulness when they have settled in to home and created a bond with their canine housemate. If you have a moderately playful dog, Bruce would be a great companion. He has great dog-todos manners and respects different personalities well. Thanks to his mid-level energy range he isn’t going to come in with too much energy, and overwhelm another dog, he seems to understand the importance of taking things slow with new friendships. No cats for this boy … he is much too interested!
Overall, Bruce is a handsome, easy-going boy who will be easy to love! If Bruce created sparks in your heart he is ready for adoption and will travel!
If you have any questions about Bruce 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.)
