Story
Sushi is the choice! It’s Sushi the dog, not the food in this case.
Cuddly, couch potato, great with kids, this is a dream dog!
Sushi is approximately 1 year old, we believe he is a boxer mix, and he weighs 56 lbs. Two things in rescue that are guesstimates- breed and age- but this boy comes with a good-time guarantee. I didn’t find, not that I was looking, one bad thing about this boy. He is friendly, amazing with kids, perfectly playful, loves to snuggle real close, is great with other dogs, and is even good with cats. Wow, now that I think about it I might keep him for myself. I'll race you to apply!
Take a look at his cuteness in action then come back to read more about him!
At first, and only for a few minutes, Sushi was shy. A new environment, new people, new smells- its a lot for a dog. Within five minutes , he opened right up and was completely at ease. Greeting everyone in the yard and making a love connection. Once we introduced him to a few dogs he showed us his playful side, running and jumping with so much joy. Sushi would do well in a home with other dogs but his love-tank could easily be filled by just his person. He is so people oriented and in tune.
The ideal home for Sushi would have a yard, his energy is better suited for room to run around with other dogs or even by himself, followed by a nice afternoon nap in the sun. Sushi was introduced to our house cat and although he was interested in the cat, he had curiosity that wasn’t obsessive or too eager. With a proper introduction we believe Sushi could easily have a feline friend in the home.
This handsome boy is going to be great for hikes and walks around the neighborhood. He already has great leash manners which will only get better with connection and practice. How have I gotten this far without mentioning the love of treats Sushi has! Treats are good but his love of them will absolutely be a helpful key when you begin training basic obedience and skills. This is a handsome boy who is waiting for his forever to begin, he is already a 10 out of 10 in my book, with you he is only going to get better! Adopt Sushi and you will finally be able say you enjoy Sushi everyday!

*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

• 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.
