Rocky called shotgun and doesn't care where you're going-he's coming!
Rocky's journey from a lonely wanderer under a freeway to a beloved, joyful companion is inspiring. This resilient pup, now weighs 68 lbs and has only known the safety and love of an adoring foster home since that day. We believe he is a Staffy mix and simply, being a house dog looks really good on him. Take a look at him in action then come back to read more about him!
You saw his pictures, he is gorgeous! A beautiful blue grey with a sleek, athletic build that he shows off during play sessions with his doggie siblings and during games of tug-of-war with his foster Dad. He has been so fortunate to wait out his adoption days in a loving foster home but it has also given us such an amazing front row seat to Rocky as a pet an playmate. He thrives on human interaction and is terrific with children and other pets. He has great house manners and is fully house and crate trained. He has earned the privilege of being allowed to free-roam his foster home and has never shown any signs of being destructive, even with those oh-so-tempting kids toys laying around.
In classic, best-adventure-buddy style, he is a lover of a car ride! If you get the door he doesn’t need to know much else. Watching him ride shotgun in the front seat of a truck is top 10 classic charm. Once you get where you are going, he walks great on a leash, occasionally he will get to the end of his leash and you will feel a pull just cause he is a healthy size but he redirects and takes direction beautifully!
Currently living harmoniously in a home with two dogs and three cats, Rocky is both dog and cat-friendly and could integrate well into a home with either/both. If invited into a home with cats we always will suggest a slow and proper introduction. If he was ever bored he may try to get them to play with him but we haven’t seen that. Rocky's ideal home would have a fenced yard where he can freely run and play to his heart's content. And although he is great with other dogs, big and small, he would also be perfectly content as your one-and-only. The love of his people fill his love-tank up perfectly and he has the love and affection of a whole pack to share.
If you're looking for a devoted, affectionate, and incredibly handsome dog, Rocky is ready and available! If you have any questions, please email : kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org

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.

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.
