Story
This sweet, playful, snuggly boy is Ford! He has a gentle, loving personality, and is an easy-going guy. He is the cutiest boy who is still trying to figure out how to work those Shepherd ears. It is so cute to watch him get the hang of it. They will look beautiful once he gets older and they are pointed straight up! He is house trained and can be trusted to roam freely in the house. He loves being with his humans. He is a super affectionate boy and a really good snuggler. Ford would love to lay with on the couch with you to watch a good movie.
Ford loves to be outside exploring and is the perfect size to load up in the car for an adventure. He enjoys going for walks to the lake/park for an afternoon picnic.
Ford is a Shepherd/ Labrador Retriever mix. These two breeds make the best family pets! Ford is pretty much full grown at 50 lbs. He really doesn't look big. He looks more medium sized. His body is full and that is where most of his weight is. His approximate birthday is May 21, 2023. Ford is good-natured and takes everything in stride. He is the perfect age to bond with his new family.
Ford's dream home is one filled with love, laughter, and maybe a few tasty treats. His sweet gentle personality and charming ways will undoubtedly turn your house into a home. Ford will need a home with a securely fenced backyard.
Ford is great with humans of all ages and other furry friends too! His friendly nature makes him a social butterfly, always eager to make new friends.
If you are ready to embark on a journey of love, laughter, and wagging tails, Ford is the boy for you! Don't miss the chance to make him a cherished member of your family. He will be an awesome addition to a very lucky family!

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.
