Bruno Boy is a big ol’ teddy bear

My story

Meet Bruno, the quietly charming bully boy with the sweetest soul! Bruno is the kind of dog that makes you feel at peace just by being near. Calm, thoughtful, and soft around the edges, he’s already got the hang of home life thanks to his amazing foster! When he came to visit us, he was lounging like royalty under an umbrella in the car LOL! He’s used to the comforts of being loved and cared for, and he’s ready to bring that gentle energy into his forever home. We believe Bruno is a pittie mix of some sort around 2 years old and weighs approximately 55 pounds. Due to him being a rescue, age and breed cannot be guaranteed. But looking at that face we know there has to be at least a little pittie in him! Check out precious Bruno here: https://youtu.be/GVt_SEvl-tU On leash, Bruno is a breeze! No pulling, no drama, just a mellow walking buddy who enjoys taking in the world at his own quiet pace. At first, he might seem a little reserved when it comes to affection, but with a little patience and kindness, the trust and love will begin to grow. He’s the kind of companion who blooms with time and makes you feel honored to be let into his world. His soft and subtle growth with vulnerability is what his foster loves the most about him! He is the type of dog that makes rescue so rewarding! Bruno absolutely lights up around other dogs! He’s social, sweet, and was clearly trying to make best friends with every pup during his visit with us! While he doesn’t currently live with another dog, he would love to have a playmate in the home to show him the ropes and boost his confidence. He would thrive in a home with another medium energy pup that knows when it’s time to play and when it’s time to rest! That said, he’d also be just fine as your one-and-only as long as he has some occasional doggy hangouts to enjoy! As for cats, he’s a total gentleman! When he met Biggie, our house kitty, he just left him alone to do his own thing! Bruno simply minds his business, so if you’ve got a calm, independent kitty, he’d be happy to share space with them peacefully. He’s well-suited for apartment life or home life due to his laid-back nature, but he does prefer to keep cool, so shorter walks and a cozy place to relax indoors are his vibe. Older, respectful children who understand the need for gentleness would be a great match for him too! If there is a certain age kiddo that you are curious how Bruno behaves around, let us know and we would be happy to find out for you! We want to make sure he is perfect for your family! Bruno may not burst onto the scene with tail-thumping excitement, but he’s the kind of dog who wins hearts quietly and completely. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key companion with a soft soul and a love for dog friends, Bruno might just be the perfect fit! Does Bruno sound like your boy?

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?
