Story
🐾 Meet Baloo! 🐾
Introducing Baloo, an adorable pup with a teddy bear vibe, searching for his forever home. This affectionate, sensitive soul adores people and eagerly wants to become your best friend.
Baloo's favorite activities include cuddling on the couch, exploring outdoors, and playing with his plush toys and enrichment puzzles. He's also quite the athlete, enjoying runs in the yard and playful wrestling with his sister, Winnie. He is also excellent with kids.
Baloo is a food lover, making training sessions particularly effective. He's always eager to earn a treat! He's progressing excellently with his crate and potty training and shows promise as a well-mannered companion. While Baloo has yet to meet cats, he's shown to be adaptable and friendly, so a proper introduction could likely be easily managed.
Baloo's new family should be ready to continue his journey in training and socialization. He thrives on companionship, displaying separation anxiety when alone but doing well with someone in the room, indicating his deep bond with his family. Due to his Velcro-dog nature, he loves staying close by; whether working at your desk or cooking in the kitchen, Baloo will be your shadow, offering calm companionship outside his crate.
Though not yet fully vaccinated and thus limited in outdoor adventures, Baloo already shows he's made for a life filled with activity. A yard to call his own would be Baloo's paradise, providing him the space to flourish. He may be a bit shy on the leash and needs further encouragement to gain confidence, but with his sensitivity and eagerness to please, he's a quick study.
Baloo is at his best with his family, seeking out cuddles or lounging contentedly nearby. He'll even offer a gentle head in your lap or a paw on your shoulder to show love. This pup's ideal life is one where he can balance his two favorite things, adventure, and relaxation, always in the company of his beloved humans.
If a sweet, loyal companion with loads of love to offer sounds perfect for you, and you're ready for a rewarding journey of growth and bonding, Baloo is ready to fill that role. Prepare for an affection-filled life—Baloo will shower you with kisses and loyal companionship, ready to be the loving heartbeat of your home. 🐾

Available for adoption in NV, MT, CO,UT, ID, OR, WA, Canada, and now the East Coast! Our PNW dogs are brought to you in style by a beautiful USDA licensed semi-truck, equipped with air conditioning for comfort, two drivers, and 2 onboard attendants providing 24 hour care. Our East Coast route will travel in a private, air conditioned 3LP-run van transport.
Pick up day is unforgettable! You will get to follow along on their journey through a private FB Event page, where you will see photos, have the opportunity to connect with other adopters, and receive updates and constant communication along the way. One of our Adoption Coordinators can help to find the closest transport pick up location to you!
The adoption fee is $1000.00 and includes all vetting as recommended by our doctor: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine (if old enough), multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, 2 months of heartworm preventative, extended medical such as dentals, eye surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries prior to adoption when suggested by our partner vets, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar for dogs over 4 months old, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and many priceless years of love and loyal companionship!
*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 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.
