Story
This is Little Foot and Ill start by saying, he is one step from perfect, that one step to perfection is simple- people of his very own. Little Foot has a calm presence, is incredibly tolerant and good-natured. From people to dogs and even the cats- Little Foot offers a warm welcome to all. Easy on leash, a playful companion, eager to learn, attentive and great company! Take a look at him in action in his Get To Know Little Foot video. https://youtu.be/iR_ipOQooBs
Anytime someone has spent time with him the comments include how gentle, calm, affectionate and so unbothered he is, no matter the circumstances. We haven’t seen a person or dog who he doesn’t get along with. His presence is disarming even to the dogs that are otherwise a bit grumpy. It likely has a lot to do with the fact that he has great dog manners, no need to be pushy.
Given that Little Foot is closer to a puppy than his size might let you believe, est. to be 1 year old, he would both love and thrive in a home with a dog-friend. A little bit of playful companionship will undoubtedly make him happy. I can see the fun romps in the grass followed by naps in the shade. An ideal playmate for Little Foot can look like a wide-range of dogs from big to small, as long as they enjoy some level of play. Little Foot has the long legs and stride that I imagine will make games of chase very entertaining for them both.
Personality wise, Little Foot can be described as a gentleman. Once he makes a connection he will always be so happy to see you. Strangers get a warm, welcoming greeting but his true people get that turned up and with a little sparkle on top. If you love a dog that can roll with the rhythm of a busy home where the front door is always open- this is your boy! He will welcome any and everyone with warmth and be by your side while you whip up dinner for the crew. I cannot say it enough, he is impressive!
Little Foot is also cat-tolerant! Honestly he is cat-friendly in the sense that he would love to be friends with the cat but respects the fact that the feelings don’t seem mutual. If you have ever wanted to raise a kitten in the company of a dog for a max cute companion situation- Little Foot would like to be formally considered for the role.
An ideal home for Little Foot is hard to quantify because he is so incredibly easy-going and versatile. He would be a fantastic addition to almost any home- individual or family. If you have kids and y’all like to walk to the park he would love that! If you have a dog or dogs that need an easy-going and friendly dog that knows when to stop and go, Little Foot would be great for you! A yard to stretch those long legs would be best but with a commitment to regular exercise and continued socializing, he would be a wonderful apartment boy, weighing 47 lbs he seems tall but his weight is not imposing. He is quiet in his crate and calm outside of it. If you are a first time dog owner and want a dog that is mindful, friendly, affectionate, while making it look and feel like you have always been each others- Little Foot is the one! Are you an outdoorsy couple wanting to live the dog-parent life with a fur-explorer who loves hikes and enjoying all the goodness out there- Little Foot is ready!
Basically, he is a dream boat who is ready to begin life with his very-own forever family! If any part of you thinks Little Foot is the one, apply now! Don’t let him get away!

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.
