Kevin is a handsome black hound mix weighing just under 70 lbs.
of pure adorableness! We believe he's just over a year old but like we always say, with rescue it's ALWAYS a guess!
He lives on a foster home with several dogs and is becoming very well socialized! He does fine around other male dogs but really prefers the company of the ladies! Kevin has a higher energy level and gets excited to meet new people and will jump.
He's a big boy so he will need continued training on not jumping up.
He will also need continue training on his leash skills as he pulls so a confident handle would be best for him.
He is treat motivated so continued training will go more smoothly for this sweet boy!
Kevin is crate trained and also house trained although he will need time to acclimate to his new home and learn where he goes to the bathroom!
He will need a home with a backyard where he can run and play! He is vocal sometimes so apartment/condo life with shared walls won't be the best fit for him.
He would also do best in a home with a doggy companion that matches his energy level and doesn't mind his chattiness and would enjoy running and playing with him.
It would be best if Kevin went to a home with kids 10 and up since hes a bigger boy and will jump when excited or seeking human affection.
Kevin is a champ in the car and can get in and out on his own.
He behaves nicely on rides and would love to go with his new people/person on errand runs and road trips once he's settled in.
Kevin is such a smart boy and has so much potential! Just a little time and patience and this guy can learn basic commands with no problem!
No cats for this fella - he was much too interested during his cat test!
If Kevin sound like a good fit, please apply today! Application link: Please email with any questions.

*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 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 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 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 5 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.
