Now Being Fostered in Marysville, WA and Ready for Meet and Greets!
Hi there! My name is Rocky, but you can call me Rucker, and I'm estimated to be around 11 months old and 60 lbs! They tell me I might be a husky mix, but who really knows?! I'm not a very barky pup except when I'm playing sometimes or when there's someone at the door, but I will talk to you in some really funny voices!
I have lived with all size dogs and even cats! I get along well with everyone but could use some help with learning cues for when other dogs don't want to play anymore. Boorrrrrring! Lol
But hey, let's look on the bright side! I ADORE all people! I'm the king of kisses—seriously, I give LOTS and LOTS of them! I'm very gentle with children and take treats with a super soft mouth. I'm also very patient when waiting my turn for a treat next to my foster brother. I am really good at sharing toys too!
My foster mom says I love toys and, in true puppy fashion, anything I can get my mouth on, but I listen really well when you tell me no! I enjoy playing catch and am working on "drop it," but don't worry, I'll always bring the ball back for you to throw again! I love belly rubs and rolling in the grass. I know "sit" and "down," and "crate". We're also working on "leave it," "off," "stay," and "spin", but I'm still figuring those out. My new family can continue helping me with these commands—I'm a smart boy and eager to learn! I'll also need continued leash work.
I am en excellent car rider and will make the best co-pilot for all of the adventures you want to take me on!
I'm not all go-go-go though! I love to curl up on the couch and chill. I'm told I have "moderate energy", whatever that means! All I know is, I am down to play when you want to play, but put on a good show and I'm ready to hang out and watch with you. My foster mom works from home, and I love to snooze in my crate while she's making the money to buy me more treats....allllll the treats!
I love watching birds outside as long as my foster mom is keeping me company. And guess what? I'm 100% potty and crate trained! I love meeting new dogs and sometimes bark out of sheer excitement, but it's just because I'm so happy! I get along great with other dogs and cats, but I really love people, too. You can always find me at your feet wanting cuddles and love. I'd love to be your little shadow!

*WE ARE TOLD THAT WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND MEDICALLY. This is the feedback we tend to get, although we cannot guarantee perfect health.
*To fully vet a dog in the PNW at many vets it would be upwards of $1,800 just to fix, vaccinate, chip, etc. The adoption fees charged by our rescue do not cover our expenses medically for each animal, but we offset costs with donations. Your adoption fee is considered a donation towards actual costs.
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 you’ve 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 dog’s 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 doesn’t 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)
• One free bonus toy in every BarkBox when signing up for their Super Chewer subscription plan
• 70% off of your first order of Fetch, a PNW based, organic fresh dog food loaf meal subscription plan
• Coupons for a fun visit to Petco
• Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup!
We celebrated our 6 year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 14,000 very lucky dogs and cats into amazing homes! By adopting from us, you save TWO lives! The pet you adopt, and you create an opportunity for another animal to be saved in that spot. Together, we can be heroes.
