Story
Are you ready for a LATTE love and fun? You don’t have to go to Seattle because Pike will come right to you! This handsome brindle boy, with his unique gray-toned legs and warm hazel eyes, is just as bold and delightful as your favorite cup of coffee. Pike’s place? Definitely right by your side—or better yet, in the yard chasing leaves, wrestling with a doggy friend, or carrying around his favorite squeaky toy!
At 12 weeks old and 10 lbs, Pike is the perfect mix of independent and playful. We think he may be a Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix, based on his mom, but with rescue it’s always a guess! His mom is petite at only 40 lbs and we think he will be medium sized as well.
THE PERFECT HOME FOR PIKE:
Needs a yard to run, explore, and chase all the best leaves.
Would love a playful dog friend to wrestle and zoom around with (but not required)!
Would be a great adventure buddy—he’s always curious and ready to explore.
Pike is one smart little pup—he’s already learning how to use the doggy door and making great progress with potty training. He’s crate-trained (well, technically, a pen-trained pup!), sleeping 5-6 hours at night before letting you know he’s ready for a potty break. He rides great in the car in his crate—no crying, no stress!
He absolutely loves playing with other dogs—his favorite game is rough-and-tumble with his foster sibling, Mary! Whether they’re running around the yard, playing tug-of-war, or sharing toys, Pike thrives in a home with a canine buddy. If you already have a playful pup, Pike would be the perfect sidekick!
While Pike is playful and affectionate, he’s not overly clingy with people. He’s happy to be pet and hang out nearby but he’s more of a “love the dogs” kind of guy. If you’re looking for a pup who’s equal parts fun, independent, and adventurous, Pike is your perfect match!
Could you be the one to give this brindle boy a forever home?

The adoption fee is $900.00 and includes all vetting as recommended by our doctor: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine (if old enough), multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, 2 months of heartworm preventative, extended medical such as dentals, eye surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries prior to adoption when suggested by our partner vets, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar for dogs over 4 months old, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and many priceless years of love and loyal companionship!
*WE ARE TOLD THAT WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND MEDICALLY. This is the feedback we tend to get, although we cannot guarantee perfect health.
*To fully vet a dog in the PNW or the NE at many vets it would be upwards of $1,800 just to fix, vaccinate, chip, etc. The adoption fees charged by our rescue do not cover our expenses medically for each animal, but we offset costs with donations. Your adoption fee is considered a donation towards actual costs.
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 6 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.
