Story
Scout loves to be carried like a baby, has one floppy ear and one straight, loves toys, is so friendly, great with other dogs and playfully respectful of cats. Oh, almost forgot- he likes the water and has solid leash skills. Okay, covered it all! Adopt him today!
If you want to read more, take a few minutes to watch his cuteness in action, then come back and read more but by then you will likely be in love!
Scout is an adorable 34 lbs at an estimated 10 months old. So far he is giving itty-bitty shepherd and isn’t expected to get much bigger. In rescue, age and breed are observations, never guarantees, but Scout has some cute shepherd like features with a playful, friendly personality.
Scout was introduced to a variety of dogs and was friendly and playful with them all, from small to large, the most natural connection being with a similar aged playful dog. He would absolutely love to have a canine playmate in his forever home. His love of other dogs doesn’t take away from his connection with people. He adores people and is a friend from the start.
Thanks to size and personality, Scout has apartment/condo potential but would love a yard for bouncing around and playing with his toys. An ideal home can look like a lot of things with Scout, he is ready to fit right in! When we introduced Scout to our house cat he was obviously eager to play but took a hint easily when the cat rejected him with a swat on the nose. A dog savvy cat would be best but with slow introductions and clear boundaries, Scout could’ve peacefully with a feline friend.
Scout has great basic leash skills but will benefit from continued leash work, socialization, and adventures to ensure he can build on that great base. His attentive nature to people and intelligence will likely translate into a fast learning and obedient dog.

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 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.
