Look at Nixon and tell me dogs dont smile! It just isnt true! The best part is that smile makes his whole face light up and that expression of his matches the way it feels to spend time with him. This dog has a warm ease to him, that slow and steady kind of love. Great in the car, easy-on-leash, steady energy and he honestly makes you feel like the most amazing and important person in the whole wide world. Who doesnt want that in a dog? Take a look https://youtu.be/Jpn_NGWc-iE
If you have ever wanted to be the reason for the sparkle in a dogs eye, Nixon is your boy. His face lights up in a way that can make the good days better and the bad days not so bad.
To add to his almost cliche wholesomeness, his foster family shared his love of fetch, if youre up for it, he is too, but if not, cozy couch time is equally great!
Nixon enjoys the company of other dogs, with his most beloved playmate being his brother who is living alongside him in his current foster home. The two of them play just like brothers do, enthusiastically and with an enthusiasm for wrestling that is seriously entertaining to sit sideline for. If there was potential for a perfectly-paired-playmate for him it would be a fun-loving, light-hearted female dog that isnt going to push too much as he gets settled into a new home but will be ready to play once he is unpacked. But honestly, Nixon is equally interested in being your-one-and-only! He has more than two dogs worth of love to give thats for sure!
If you are a bit of a social butterfly, you and Nixon could be quiet the duo! This guy can work a room, greeting guests with a smile as his warm welcome, it is his specialty! When y'all arent hosting your neighbors and family and friends, Nixon is ready to be your adventure buddy. With his car rider skills and well-mannered leash skills, whether it's errands or a weekend getaway, this boy is ready! All those cutesy cafes, hiking trails, and dog-friendly camping spots points you have saved for somedaywell with Nixon, today will be everyday!
An ideal home for Nixon is flexible, he is an apartment/condo friendly boy or would be happy with a yard or regular access to open space for a little fetch or laying in the sun.. At 57 lbs he is a medium size dog, honestly he barely stands knee high but has a full-size body, his size really adds to his charm. From what his foster has shared he is fully crate and house trained and is quiet in or out of his crate, so small-home living would be great too! Nixon does need a cat-free home, he isnt considered the most polite boy according to our house cat. If you have watched his profile video you will know why. More than anything Nixon wants to shine for someone who looks at him with the same golden-good heart eyes he has for his people. This boy is smart, treat motivated, attentive, adoring, and a wonderful companion.

*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 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 youve 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 dogs needs. We provide weekly socialization programs for our dogs through playgroups and group leash training classes available to all dogs in our adoption program, and Doggy Sleepover, Doggy Day Out, and Ambassador programs for our boarding dogs. There is a professional dog trainer on staff to provide support for our fosters and dogs, and an off-site dog trainer for dogs that need more extensive behavior modification. This helps us learn deeply about every dog, prepare them for adoption, and ultimately match them with loving families. 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 doesnt 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
