Story
Pepe is the kind of dog you pet once and then immediately call someone over to feel how soft he is. Seriously, there should be a little announcement before you touch him. That handsome white coat has the softest, almost downy feel, and it belongs to a big lover boy who would be delighted to curl up beside you. He’ll need just about one couch cushions- a reasonable request for this much handsome. And if a water-boy is what you seek, Pepe is your boy! Granted he isn't looking to swim laps but lounging in the water is definetly for him!
Go watch Pepe on the Three Little Pitties Rescue YouTube channel to see his happy face, meet his friends, and picture all that softness snuggled up next to you: https://youtu.be/A_3iNbvb2jg
There’s so much to love about Pepe, but his happy-go-lucky approach to life might be our favorite. He’s up for some fun, happy to make a friend, and equally comfortable hanging out while everyone does their own thing. We spent time with him in a living room full of dogs and another room full of new people, and he fit right into both. A little hello here, some attention there, just enjoying being included.
And he is such a lover. Pepe welcomes affection with his whole soft self, sometimes rolling onto his back to help you locate the belly-rub department. He has that lovely, comfortable friendliness that makes you want to keep him close. We can absolutely picture him stretched out beside his person after a good day, taking up his allotted couch space and perhaps negotiating for a little more.
Pepe has a great social life, too. He enjoys a good run and romp with a dog friend, but we also love that he can take a hint. If another dog isn’t interested in playing, he knows how to leave them to it. He was lovely with the little dog he met, offering a sniff before moving along, and he’s enjoyed the company of both male and female dogs.
His ideal buddy would enjoy some playtime and have similarly polite manners. Pepe appreciates friends who give each other room between rounds of fun. He could happily join a home with a compatible dog, or settle into the very important position of being your one and only. He has plenty of love for either arrangement.
Pepe is just shy of two years old and weighs 61 pounds. We’re guessing he’s an American Pit Bull Terrier mix, though his age and breed are our best guesses. He’s a wonderful size for someone who loves a substantial cuddle buddy: big enough to really wrap your arms around, compact enough to leave you some couch.
He’ll sit for treats, and if you happen to overlook that beautiful sit, he may politely bring the matter to your attention. A boy should get credit for his work! He’d love walks, opportunities to play, and someone who makes continuing to build on his basic leash skills part of the fun. A house with room to stretch his legs would suit him well.
Pepe’s future home should be cat-free. He brings a little too much playful enthusiasm to feline introductions, so we’re saving his friendship for people and dog pals.
There’s something so easy to love about a dog who enjoys his friends, welcomes new people, and feels like your favorite blanket when he leans in for affection. That’s Pepe. A happy boy, a soft place to land, and a very good reason to make room beside you.

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.
