Goofy Goober is a Lab Border Collie mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 44 lbs and we suspect he is full grown. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee the breed or age. Goofy goober would be best placed in an active home with a back yard so he can run around and play and with a family that will give him daily exercise. He would make a great running companion, hiking partner, and even a a great companion to take to the beach since he loves the water. He does settle in a home and loves to rest after a nice exercise or romp in the backyard. Goofy is very dog friendly and did great with every dog we introduced him to even little tiny scruffy dogs as long as they can keep up with his playfulness. Goofy would be best placed in a home with other playful dogs like him. He absolutely LOVES to play! One of his favorite games is to play chase with other dogs and if they are smaller than him he loves to wrestle. He would also do great in a home as an only dog as well as long as he gets the adequate exercise and mental stimulation he needs. He could even be a great candidate for doggy day care and dog parks. Goofy also did well during his cat test, if you have a young and playful cat that likes dogs he will want to play with them but if he is in a home with other dogs he completely forgets about the kitty residents and just plays with his doggy friends. He also loves to play with toys! He’ll do this cute thing where he’ll pick out his favorite toy and just walk around with it showing it off to everyone. Goofy will need a family willing and committed to continue his training such as polishing his leash skills and basic obedience skills but it will be a breeze! He is very treat motivated and is very responsive to his handler. He is eager to learn and wants to please! To our knowledge, Goofy is crate trained and potty trained but may need a reminder about where the appropriate potty places are once he arrives at his forever home. We are willing to test Goofy 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.

*WE ARE TOLD THAT WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND MEDICALLY. This is the feedback we tend to get, although we cannot guarantee perfect health.
*To fully vet a dog in the PNW at many vets it would be upwards of $1,800 just to fix, vaccinate, chip, etc. The adoption fees charged by our rescue do not cover our expenses medically for each animal, but we offset costs with donations. Your adoption fee is considered a donation towards actual costs.
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.
