Lorenzo is ready for summer splash days!

My story

Lorenzo is a one-of-a-kind pupperoni! His looks are the perfect representation of this quirky guy. He’s got a little freckled spot just above his tail that he loves having scratched, and if you’re looking for a dog who knows how to make a splash, he’s your guy, hose time is his favorite time! We believe Lorenzo is a Texas Special! A mix of many breeds, but we could see a little bit of Jack Russel and Pittie mixed in those genes! We also think he may be about 5 years old and is about 41 pounds. Due to the nature of him being a rescue, age and breed cannot be guaranteed. Check out Lorenzo dude loving the water hose below! https://youtu.be/KGiGSBDQ5Vw When he came to visit, Lorenzo took a moment to assess the scene. He was a little quiet at first, afterall, it can be scary visiting a new place for the first time! But he opened up as he got more comfortable with the crowd. He did especially well with calmer, dog savvy canines. If Lorenzo had a canine sibling, we see him doing well with a patient canine playmate who understands that friendships take time to build! But he would also equally thrive being a solo pup soaking in all of the attention for himself. When it comes to feline friends, he is perfectly content coexisting with them! When he met our housecat Biggie, he gave him a curious sniff, then went about his business! Proof that with the right feline friend, Lorenzo could share a peaceful home. This sun-chasing, cheese-loving fellow is happy to hang out wherever there’s calm energy and a comfy patch of grass. He melted into the sunshine during a lazy moment with our behavior director Olga, and looked right at home, just soaking in the day. As far as kids go, Lorenzo LOVES them! He lives in a foster home with teens, but he really loved it when our five-year-old came to say hello! He showed us a side that we hadn’t seen yet! His tail couldn’t help but to wag excitedly and he wanted to be where she was! Lorenzo clearly has a soft spot for respectful little humans and would thrive in a home with dog-savvy younger kids or older teens. Give him a squeaky toy and he’ll keep himself entertained, toss him a cheese treat and he’s all yours. Whether it’s an apartment with good walks or a house with room to stretch, Lorenzo just wants a place to call his own. He may take a moment to warm up, but once he does, he’s an absolute hoot, a loyal little character full of heart, humor, and tail wags. If you’re looking for a low-key buddy with a playful spirit and a quiet charm, Lorenzo might just be the perfect fit! Does Lorenzo sound like your kind of guy?

We have over 15,000 successful adoptions so far and have excellent Google Reviews: 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 rescue’s 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 care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can 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. It doesn’t stop there!

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. https://www.threelittlepittiesrescue.org/ https://www.facebook.com/threelittlepittiesrescue https://www.instagram.com/threelittlepittiesrescue Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
