Story
Bitty Bob is proof that you don't need to be a big dog to have a big personality. This scruffy little guy has mastered the art of making people smile. Maybe it's the adorable beard. Maybe it's the way he gets the tiniest little zoomies when you wiggle your feet at him on the couch. Or maybe it's the fact that Bob seems genuinely thrilled just to be included in whatever you're doing. Whatever the reason, this little dude has a way of making himself impossible not to love.

Bitty Bob is approximately 1.5 years old, weighs around 13 lbs, and we believe he may be a Terrier mix. With rescue it's always a mystery and we can never guarantee breed or age.
One of our favorite things about Bob is how happy-go-lucky he is. He's sweet, silly, easygoing, and always seems to be in a good mood. He isn't a dog that's constantly looking for trouble or trying to entertain himself. Honestly, he'd much rather spend time with his people. Give him a little attention, shuffle your feet, do a dramatic jazz hands performance on the couch, and suddenly Bob is off doing his little man zoomies. It's absolutely hilarious and one of those things that never gets old.
Bob has done well with dogs both his size and dogs several times larger than him. He's not the type that's looking to wrestle all day or be the life of the dog party. He's more of a distinguished little gentleman. He's happy to coexist, hang out, and be part of the group. If another dog is being a little too much or forgets that Bob is approximately the size of a loaf of bread, he'll occasionally give a low growl as a polite reminder to respect his personal space. Beyond that, he's very tolerant and generally just happy to be included.
He also met our house cat Biggie and met him appropriately and was very respectful around him. Bob did not chase Biggie, nor was he bothered by Biggie jumping or doing what cats do. Biggie also seemed to feel comfortable around him as well. We do not know if he has ever lived in a home before with a cat and this was our first time seeing him with a cat. If you have a cat in the home, we can arrange for Bob to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know!
When it comes to training, Bob is doing great. He's crate trained and with a little gentle encouragement he'll walk right into his crate. Once he's in there, he's generally very quiet and settles down nicely. He's also doing really well with potty training and continues to improve every day. Like any dog adjusting to a new environment, he'll need consistency and routine, but he's already well on his way.
Bob enjoys treats and takes them gently from your hand. Toys aren't really his thing, at least not right now. He's much more interested in interacting with people than he is with a pile of squeaky toys. If given the choice between a toy basket and hanging out with you, he's picking you every single time.
One of the best things about Bob is how adaptable he is. We can easily see him thriving in an apartment, condo, townhouse, or traditional home with a backyard. He doesn't strike us as a dog with a long list of demands. He's simply looking for a person or family to share life with. Someone to go on walks with, relax on the couch with, and laugh at his goofy little zoomies. If you're looking for a well-rounded companion with a scruffy face, a sweet personality, and enough charm to make everyone who meets him smile, Bob might just be your perfect match.
We are willing to test Bitty Bob with anything you need in order to ensure its match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
