Story
Have you ever seen a cuter more unique face than Mr. Prancer’s? I didn’t think so! He is so handsome and has the most beautiful unique eyes that look into your soul. The cutest thing about him though is his subtle little underbite. It’s hardly noticeable but at the right angle you’ll catch his bottom teefers peeping out and its adorable.

Mr. Prancer is a petite Lab mix and maybe even a little beagle in there too because of his face shape, he is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery. He is approximately 1 years old and only weighs 34 lbs and he’s fully grown! He’a the perfect size, not too big and not too small. Mr. Prancer is a little awkward shy fella at first when meeting new people, he’s still just a baby and probably hasn’t had the best interactions so far but when you look into his eyes they are filled with so much love and trust. He’ll do best with a family that will continue to build his confidence and help him be the best doggy citizen he can be. Once he opens up and bonds with his people he is such a cute and loving little guy and will rest his head on your lap and you’ll find his tail never stops wagging. He has a very innocent personality and I just love him. Mr. Prancer is very dog friendly and would actually do best in a home with another doggy friend. He met up to 6 different dogs all at once big and small and loved meeting all of them. When two dogs were playing rough and running around he would “prance” alongside them almost like he didn’t know how to get them to play with him. The more he romped around the the dogs the more you could see his confidence building and engaging with play with the other dogs. He also really liked the water and didn’t mind sharing the pool with his new friends. Mr. Prancer does need to work on his leash skills, he likely has never been walked on a leash before and will need someone who will be patient and see him through his leash struggles as he pancakes on the ground. To our knowledge, Mr. Prancer is crate trained and potty trained but may need a reminder for where the appropriate potty places are once he arrives at his forever home. Mr. Prancer would do best in a home with other moderately playful dogs like him with a backyard where they can romp around and play. Althoug he is young, he is not very hyper and what we consider medium energy. A good romp in the backyard and leisurely walk in the neighborhood (once his leash skills are better) is all this little guy needs. We are willing to test Mr. Prancer with anything you need us to in order to ensure it’s the perfect match for you! We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

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)
• 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.
