Meet Boots The Polka Dot Boy
If you are a dog lover you know- a friendly, happy dog, who loves the water, other dogs, and can be respectful around a cat can feel like the dog everyone else has, and the one you want! Well, it might be your turn to have that dog! This is Boots, available for adoption, loves the water, friendly and playful with other dogs, loves a booty scratch, and was respectful of out house cat! The term-move-in ready is used for houses but in this case he is the one that is move-in-ready. To your house that is! He is ready! Take a look at him in action then come back to read more! https://youtu.be/KXcu_IOVMaM
Boots is super confident and outgoing, he has not met a stranger. He loves to greet new people with a wagging tail. Hes joyful and loves to play with toys and hell throw a toy up in the air to keep himself busy.
Boots can match the energy of whats going on around him. If given the opportunity to play, he can really get into it. Check out his rodeo moves here: https://youtube.com/shorts/gsIwiQ7erR8?si=cNCk_8Me3Lg3U49t
If you are needing to work on the computer, he will lay down in the room with you like a good boy. He is not constantly in your face needing attention. I worked on my computer for about two hours and he laid on the ground next to me. Ive had my six-year-old boy with us and Boots has enjoyed interacting with him. He loves it when my son pets him.
He absolutely loves to play tug-of-war with a toy! It seems to be his happy place if youll give him a minute of that game. Whenever you make eye contact with him, his tail wags, he just absolutely loves people so deeply.
Hes really quiet in his crate overnight with no accidents. He does not bark from what weve seen, he seems completely crate and potty trained.
He does get fun zoomy energy, but its not constant. He has a pretty well-balanced energy level. The cats come to the glass door and taunt him through the glass door, but he doesnt bark or freak out.
Weighing in at 45 lbs he is a lot of fun in a small package, really the perfect get-up and go guy! Estimated to be 1 year old, he is eager to learn and has a great base of to work from. He has a great sense of dog manners, how to play nicely, and loves a light-hearted game of chase!
Boots is young and will need help polishing up his leash skills, the day we met him he was excited and a bit bouncy on leash but has enough of a basic understanding that he could easily join you on a walk right now without any trouble. When we introduced Boots to a handful of dogs he had never met, he was calm for introductions and perfectly playful when he was invited to play chase. Watching him jump into the pool to cool off was what sealed his hold on my heart. He was so content and self-assured it was a joy to watch!
Boots is also friendly without being pushy, he wants to say hello but will wait patiently for you to meet his eyes and invite him over. Not one time, even when treats were being offered (which he loves) he did not jump or get overly excited. He is such a well-behaved boy it is easy to forget that he is a middle-ager, freshly out of his puppy days.
Boots is what we lovingly call a daycare dog because he is easy-going and his playful approach with other dogs means he can go to doggy-daycare for a fun day out and then come home for a big ol nap! He doesnt need that level of play everyday though, he is mellow inside and happy to hang out or play with a toy on his own. An ideal home would include occasional adventures, hike or day-trips to the lake or beach, and walks around the neighborhood. A yard is always fun but with chances to play and walk, it isnt a necessity. Bootss size makes him a great candidate for apartment/condo life. A playful friend would be awesome and a pool of any size, even a kiddie pool to splash around in, would be a bonus!
If you have any questions about Boots or would like us to test him for a specific setting or detail, please be in touch! We can make most anything happen to ensure he is the correct fit for you and your life!

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 youve 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 dogs 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)
