Story
Meet Rainier: Your Future Bestie and Snuggle Buddy!
If you’re looking for a snuggle buddy who’s also up for a bit of playful wrestling, Rainier is the dog for you!
Watch Rainier's video here:
This adorable boy has a heart full of love and a tail that wags non-stop. Here’s why you’ll want to make him a part of your family:
A Little About Rainier : Rainier is an adorable 5 year old boy, weighing 10 pounds. We think he is a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix, but we are not sure so we just call him our Texas Special, the very best breed. He is being fostered with 2 other small dogs.
The Cutest Thing About Rainier : Rainier absolutely adores cuddles, snuggles, and love. If you put your hand by him, he will gently nose underneath it, just to remind you that you could spend your time petting him and giving him all the love, lol.
Potty Trained: Yes! Rainier is potty trained and uses a doggie door like a pro.
Crate Trained: Absolutely. He goes right into the crate when told, sleeps soundly all night, and is very comfortable in his space.
Home Behavior: Rainier is an affectionate companion who follows you everywhere. He’s very comfortable around the house and has great manners.
Energy Level: Moderate. He’s active and loves adventures, but he’s also content to chill and cuddle with you.
Social Skills: Rainier is confident on car rides and enjoys the journey. He's friendly with other dogs one-on-one, especially enjoying playful wrestling with Seattle Layla, another small dog in the house. He does get a bit vocal when new people arrive but is quick to settle once he recognizes you.
Play Style: While he enjoys playing with other dogs individually, several other larger dogs at once could be overwhelming.
Affectionate Nature: Rainier shows his love with snuggles and cuddles. He will gently nose your hand to remind you that you could be spending your time petting him and giving him love and attention. He loves to be close to you but will also find his own cozy spot when he's tired.
Car Behavior: He is a great travel buddy and would love to join you for morning coffee runs or late night ice cream treats, as long as there is a pup cup involved for him, lol.
Leash Manners: Rainier walks well on a leash, but he can be a bit barky at first when passing other dogs.
Training and Tricks: Rainier is very food motivated, making him a quick learner. He knows "up" (where he jumps so high!), "down", and "sit", and is eager to learn more!
Living Situation: Rainier can adapt to both houses with yards or apartments with proper exercise. He would prefer to have another dog for company but can also be happy as the only dog with some adjustment.
Adventure Level: Rainier loves going on adventures and is up for any outing. He especially loves pup cups, so if you happen to make a pit stop at any location with pup cups, you know what to do. He is little, so if you want a hiking buddy he will need to ride in a dog purse or backpack. He has some arthritis, so this guy isn't up for big long walks. The veterinarian recommends he stay on joint supplements and anti-inflammatories.
Kids and Cats: Rainier does not have experience with kids or cats but has been great with other dogs. If you have little ones or cats in your life, we can cat and kid test him. We are sure he will pass!
Confidence: Rainier is a people pleaser, and loves everybody on sight. This dashing 'lil man will give you kisses and ask for gentle pets, then roll over for belly rubs. He's too cute to be denied!
Ready to meet your new best friend? Rainier is waiting to bring joy, cuddles, and a lot of love into your life!

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation. Three Little Pitties Rescue is on a mission to make a difference. As a nonprofit dog and cat rescue, we work hand in hand with the community to combat this crisis. Our goal is simple: to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing dogs and cats of all breeds from the streets or overcrowded shelters, where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Your interest and support mean the world to us and to the animals we serve. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission to give every animal a chance at a happy and loving home!
Our rescue is dedicated to making a difference. With close to 15,000 successful adoptions so far, we're committed to saving lives. We provide individualized socialization, training, and support based on the dog’s needs to ensure a smooth transition for both pet and owner. Plus, our adopters enjoy exclusive perks, including pet insurance, training sessions, and discounts on pet products.
Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
