Story
**Warning: not an actual Duck! Just a really cute dog**
Duckie is a sweet, sweet boy filled with a puppy-like joy for the world. Duckie is ~1.5years old and has a gorgeous dark coat. He is a big softie—and yes, we mean big. 91lbs big, to be exact! But all the more to love you with.
This boy is HAPPY! Car rides? Loves them—will sit & relax or watch the world go by. Toys? Can’t get enough of ‘em: tug-o-war is his favorite, but he's flexible. Affection? Yes please: especially when you tell him what a good & handsome boy he is.
Duckie is house trained & kennel trained, and he is thriving in his foster home. He loves to have zoomies in the backyard or wrestle (gently!) with his human foster dad. Duckie is not jumpy on people, and his fosters are able to take treats out of his mouth, kennel, remove food bowl, high value treats etc without any problems. He really is as sweet as can be!
At the play yard, Duckie has a cool & confident energy: he felt very secure and unbothered. He didn’t have much interest in playing around, but he was calm & content to have other canine buddies in the yard with him. On a recent field trip to Home Depot, he was nervous at some of the new noises, but he stood next to his handler and would sit, stay, lay, wait on command. This boy is such a catch!
Duckie is a big boy who can bring a lot of love to the right family. Could that be you?

The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is one of 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 choice but to euthanize animals for space. We prepare them for adoption by properly vetting and providing individualized care through our incredible behavior program that consists of socialization and leash training for all animals that enter our adoption program prior to matching them with loving families who will treasure them for the rest of their lives. They are rescue dogs and will require continued training efforts once adopted, but will be well on their way to being the best dogs that they can be!
Three Little Pitties Rescue will soon be celebrating our 5 year anniversary! Over the course of this time, we have been very fortunate for so much growth, allowing us to further connect with the community and save many lives. Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 10,000 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 brought into our rescue program. Together, we can be heroes.
