This is a boy with all the love and happy-go-lucky fun anyone could ever want in a dog! His name is Dino and he just brings the most refreshing happiness with him. With the look of a Rottweiler, I need to be clear, this is not a Rottie size boy. He is bursting with love and fun but its all packed into a cute little mid-size package, currently weighing 55 lbs with a little more growing likely still ahead of him.
Dino is estimated to be 8 months-1 year old, of course age and breed cannot be guaranteed given he is a rescue. He is a certified good boy though, we know that for a fact! We are torn on our observations leading us to him being a Rottweiler/ Lab mix or possibly a Doberman/Rottweiler mix. Whatever his make up is, it made the sweetest, friendliest boy! He is as sweet as they come. Dinos friendly, accepting nature make him a joy to be aroundhe adores people and dogs alike and is always ready for his next adventure or a serious cuddle session.
Dinos playful spirit shined when we introduced him to other dogs. He is friendly and a bouncy, playful boy who also understood not all dogs like to bounce and play like him, and he could respect that.His friendly and happy-go-lucky playstyle makes him a great match for a household with another playful pup who will be happy to have met their match. Dino has shown that hes great with dogs of all kinds but when he met our house cat he learned they are not as eager to make friends as he is. While he initially wanted to greet the cat with his signature playfulness, our house cat offered him a quick swipe to ask Dino to respect his space. Dino understood and respected the message. We would say Dino is cat-tolerant and with a dog-savvy cat, Dino could peacefully coexist.
While Dinos leash manners need a little polishing which will come with practice, hes eager to please. He has the basics down and keeps a nice pace. Truly, you could take him on a walk now and be proud to have him by your side.
Dino is incredibly affectionate and will charm you with his big, warm smile and brown eyes. Hes a lap dog at heart and has a signature move you will only see when you sit down, especially if you are on the ground. It is sort of a flop but also a melt. It is undeniable though, it is love! Whether in an active home or a cozy one, Dinos adoring nature and beautiful love will make him a heart-fulfilling companion.
If youre looking for a playful, friendly and endlessly loving best friend, Dino is your guy! Have questions about Dino or want to see if hes a fit for your family? Let us know, and well help ensure it is the perfect match!

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 rescues 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 caresuch as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic carecan 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.
