Oh my goodness, my heart cannot handle the love this sweet chonky guy has to offer. I don’t know about you but I am a total sucker for the black dogs with grey hair sprinkled throughout their face. Neo the Great is a distinguished gentleman type that loves his people, loves his toys, and is just an over all happy go lucky guy. You should see the way he turns into a total puppy when he starts talking to you and the way his eyes just light up. You'll see exactly what I'm talking about the second you start watching his video. My heart melts for him and yours will too! That’s not my favorite thing about him though…hands down that best thing about Neo are his cuddles. My goodness does this hunk love to snuggle and will snuggle with you all day if you let him. He loves to lay his head on your lap and look up at you with those gorgeous golden brown eyes of his.
Watch his video and fall in love with Neo the same way we all have: https://youtu.be/kr-12daqkoE?si=QBqYiEfnnQo0GZ9I
We believe Neo the Great to be half pittie, half lab, and he’s the best of both worlds! Neo is a rescue, so his exact age and breed are unknown to us and cannot be guaranteed. Neo currently weighs in at a lap-sized 64 pounds, and we estimate his age to be around 4 years old. Neo shows his age in his frosted face, but otherwise, you could never tell! This boy is happy, bouncy, and so loving!
Neo is very dog friendly and is currently fostered with 2 other dogs in his loving foster home. He does great sharing toys, treats, affection, and they are even caught snuggling in bed together from time to time. They enjoy playing in the backyard together and he has even made friends with the neighbors dog too and they like to frolic along side the fence line together. He does great meeting new dogs too and does a sniff and then goes off about his business. There are times where does get a little excited when meeting new dogs, mainly on leash and will pull towards them to say hello but then its back to the scheduled program. Other than that initial excitement, He is so even keel with almost every dog he meets, and is very tolerant of even the pushiest of dogs. Every now and then he will give an appropriate correction almost like he's saying "alright now kids, that's enough go bother someone else" just like your dad would say to you when you got on his nervous LOL. Although he's not a super playful guy, he has been in playgroups with upwards of 16 dogs and is completely unphased by dogs playing around him, running around, getting in his face, all of that. He is simply just happy to hangout and watch the other dogs play. He will play from time to time, like he does with his foster siblings and with a dog he really likes, but for the most part he’s off doing his own thing, rolling around in the grass, or he’s with his favorite person. Which is ultimately his favorite place to be. Neo loves to be with people and showering them with his love and devotion. If you don’t have other dogs, that’s completely fine in Neo’s eyes. He doesn’t need the company of another dog to help him feel comfortable and open up nor does he need another dog to satisfy his energy needs. He is has a perfectly balanced energy that can match whatever you need from him. He would also do best in a home with no kittie friends in the home.
Neo would love to be in a home with a backyard where he can sunbathe anytime he wants, roll in the grass, and explore all the fun smells. He enjoys spending time outside and romping around, after about 10 minutes he’s ready to come back inside and turn into a couch potato. We could also even see him being good in an apartment too. He is quiet in his crate, walks so incredibly easy on a leash, and wouldn't be bothered passing by other dogs in those smaller apartment hallways. He has great house manners and from what we have seen, he is fully potty trained. He makes himself feel right at home, finding a nice cozy spot to lay down and bonus points if that spot is snuggled up next to you. When it comes to training, Neo loves all the snacky snacks. More so crackers, cheese, french fries and super savory treats rather than healthy ones like carrots or strawberries LOL. He knows what the good stuff is. It’s so cute when he knows you have a treat or something tasty you’re about to give him because he does this little happy tap toe dance with his front paws. Just watch his video and you’ll see what we’re talking about. He already knows some basic commands and gets so excited learning new skills or even just practicing skills he already knows. His eyes immediately light up and he is completely engaged and so eager to please you. He knows how to sit, paw, down, and can even speak on command! He is so patient and takes treats very gently as well.
If you’re someone that likes to take your dog with you to places, Neo will be a perfect buddy to tag along! He is an awesome car rider that loads in and out of the car with no issues and he is good about riding shotgun or in the back seat. He doesn’t try to climb in your lap while your driving nor is he bouncing from seat to seat. He is completely trusted to be loose while riding along. Neo is great with meeting new people too while out and about. He’s not going to love bomb them with affection or jump on them. Neo would also be a great companion for a family with kids. He is currently fostered with a 13 year old and has been around kids as young as 6 years old. While he is good natured, tolerant of the occasional sequel and has been nothing but gentle and patient with younger kids he would do best in a home with kids 10+. Older children will be more in tune with his boundaries and can understand when he’s just wanting to nap in peace. Overall, Neo is a very adaptable boy that just likes to be with his person(s) and be included in your life. If you’re looking for a total snuggle bug, Neo is definitely your guy! He is a loving and loyal companion to all looking for his fur-ever family. If you are in search of a classic good-boy, you have found him!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.
Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!
Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
The rescue’s hard costs alone for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,120. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that Three Little Pitties Rescue is not government funded.

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
