Loyal, hunky, and good with kids! You’re not dreaming, he’s a perfect 10 and he’s looking for love- presenting the one and only Shooby!
Shooby Doo tips the scales at a beefy 69 pounds, and we estimate his age to be around 2 years old, past the terrors of puppyhood but still young and trainable! We believe that Shooby is an American Bully, American Pit Bull Terrier mix, but he is a rescue so these are simply our best guesses.
Fall in love with Shooby here: https://youtu.be/0QdRB6vjBuU?feature=shared
Shooby is such a good boy already, and so confident and eager to please that any further training with him will be enjoyable and rewarding for both of you. He’s treat motivated too, and a gentle treat taker. When I gave him a bath he stood there very tolerant like a good boy! Loved the drying off part.
He is potty trained and holds it for very long periods in his crate. He knows to go potty outside. He’s very comfortable in his crate. He goes in on his own and appreciates it. He’s also very quiet in the crate, we’ve never heard him bark- ever!
He is a gentle boy who is confident meeting new people, just walks up and knows he will get attention and pets. He is so easy on leash! He is laid back, respectful, not rowdy or jumpy. If you sit down he will walk over and stand next to you for pets, or gently hop his front legs into your lap for an impromptu snuggle.
Shooby is full of personality. He’s a total toy lover, with an affinity for chews and stuffies and a hilarious indifference to tennis balls. When we opened a box of gifts for him he went for the stuffy toys, he play bowed and seemed excited. His tail was wagging like he knew the toys were for him.
Here at the rescue, Shooby has spent time with kids as young as four! He has been with Cash, age 6, a few times and has acted completely comfortable. He loves the attention and playfulness with Cash. He won’t chase a ball for fetch in the yard, but seemed interested in sitting on the ground with Cash and all the stuffy toys. Shooby met Kobe, age 4, and wasn’t fazed by his running or grabbing hands. Shooby is a natural-born family dog, completely sweet and totally perfect with little ones. He seems to “get” kids in a way that only dogs like Shooby can.
Shooby is ready for his forever! This precious boy is a total baby, and rightly so, wants to be the baby of your house. We believe Shooby would be happiest as an only dog. Sweet Shooby would make an amazing family dog, he’s so sweet with kids that it’s easy to imagine him as a full-time family man. We believe Shooby could thrive in any style of home- apartment, condo, townhouse, or a house with a backyard. We are willing to test Shooby with anything you need us to in order to ensure he is the perfect match for you! We can make most anything happen! Just let us know.

We facilitate adoptions across the US through our own internal transport to ensure the quality of care. We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!
You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.
Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where 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 trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!
Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.
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.
The rescue’s hard costs alone for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,120. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that Three Little Pitties Rescue is not government funded.

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals 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. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
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.
