If you have ever dreamed of having a dog but would love to skip the puppy stage, basically fast-forwarding straight to the golden era of dog companionship — meet Baird! This beautiful boy comes pre-loaded with everything you otherwise work years to get to in your best friend - calm energy, house manners, a gentle, welcoming heart, and a love for the simple things in life. Take a look then come back to read more-https://youtu.be/AcpOzm9nMv8 Baird is likely a Lab Mix, 86 lbs of seasoned sweetness, and we estimate him to be around 8 Years Old. Keep in mind, because he is a rescue dog we cannot guarantee age or breed. You don’t need me to point out his warm, soulful eyes- it is what drew you in- but ill tell you, in person they are the kind of eyes that hit like a warm hug. Eyes that could tell a story but also say “tell me all about your day.” Baird is very fortunate and is being fostered in a loving home. When we asked them to share what they love about Baird they both lit up- it was easy to see he had already made a great impression. Quickly, his fosters got to telling us all about him and what a total dream he has been— easy, affectionate, quiet (except when he sings, more on that in a bit,) and steady force of love in the house. He is also house and crate trained, has perfect house manners, and gets along with their crew of personal dogs like he’s known them forever. Bonus points if you get a kick out a dog with a voice. Baird and his friends have formed a quartet, practicing their blues howl in the living room. They don’t have a set schedule for these practices but you will know when the mood strikes. We love it but we doubt an apartment neighbor would so we are going to recommend Baird for house+yard life. Baird is cooperative and respectful on leash, he does enjoy a walk, but his need for speed days are behind him. His pace is perfect for strolling and because he is calm passing dogs and friendly with people, there is no where you can’t enjoy a walk with him. When we introduced him to new dogs, he gave polite greetings, then mostly chose to sniff around and mind his own business. It is giving classic “been there, done that” energy. He’d do beautifully as a solo dog or alongside another low-key companion who shares his love of peace and maybe wants to be part of a new blues-howl group. Cats?Just like everything else, Baird says “No problem!” He will coexists like a gentleman. He politely greeted our house cat and then moseyed off to lay down. Crate? No problem there either- walks right in like it was his office. Strangers? Has heard of them but hasn’t truly ever met one. He doesn’t push to make everyone a best friend but is always ready for a quiet acknowledgment and a soft hello. This is a dog for someone who doesn’t need fireworks to feel a spark. A soft bed, a quiet room, maybe a cozy porch to share at sunset — that’s Baird’s kind of heaven. He’s what happens when a good boy grows up to be a great man. So if your home is calm, your heart is open, and your pace is slow and steady — Baird will fit right in and make it just that much sweeter! Questions?

We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey! You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!

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 (excluding transport) 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 $1,368. 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 adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. 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!

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?
