Fozzy puts the gold in golden doodle! It’s rescue so dubbing him a golden doodle is just observation, not guarantee but seriously-look at him! It’s a little embarrassing but Fozzy got his first bad haircut right before picture day so you will have to use your imagination a bit to see him in his full fluffing glory.
Honestly, if you can still look cute with a bad haircut then you are definitely good looking. Fozzy sure looks cute with those curls around his eyes! Enough about his looks- my two favorite things about Fozzy are his grade-A leash skills and the fact that he doesn’t mind being brushed. He basically let me brush him like a little pony with a care. I guess that means you have a potential walking partner who is going to look good while doing it.
Walks with him are smooth sailing with hardly any need for corrections. On his first encounter passing a new dog, he was curious to say hello, but by the second pass, he kept walking without as much as a glance- that is impressive!
Now Fozzy is cute and all but he is also a bit of a shy boy. Shy is one way to think of it but it also comes across as easy-going. He was introduced to a handful of dogs in a yard he had never been in, with a few strangers trying to get-to-know-him, it’s understandable that he took a minute to observe us before opening up, In the classic golden-doodle way, Fozzy has something to say. He uses his big bark to say hello, whether its people or other dogs. He may even be saying “Let me check you out. Stand there for a sec.”
Fozzy is easygoing and confident but social skills with other dogs are a work in progress. We got a kick out of his big-puppy way of showing interest in the other dogs and exploring group play. Once he figured it out off to a game of chase he went. He gravitated to the smaller dogs and one of the calm females we introduced him to. This boy is lucky enough to be fostered in a home with other dogs and his foster has shared that Fozzy and her doodle get along great!
Ill give you a not-so-secret-tip to fast track your connection with Fozzy. Treats. Any and all the treats. He is a foodie! If he was your friend, he would order his own meal and still insist you share yours- so he can try it. That enthusiasm for food will likely be a life-long trait in Fozzy so budget for the yummies.
When it comes to cats, Fozzy's curious yet respectful. He'll sniff around but isn't overly bothered by them, especially if they're not too interested in him either. From what we observed he would be labeled as cat-tolerant though we always encourage slow introductions.
Fozzy's ideal home would be in a setting where his occasional barking won't disturb neighbors, so a house with a yard would suit him best. If you have experience with the golden doodle type would be perfect. Having someone to help him polish up his skills is going to look so good on him. As far as other pets, Fozzy’s ideal doggie mate would be a calm female who isn’t going to rush a friendship- he likes to take it slow. Adopters familiar with golden doodles and a little patience in helping him blossom would be perfect! If there's another dog in the home, a calm and tolerant companion would complement Fozzy's personality well.
Even with treats, he’ll need a little time to adjust and bond with his new family when he arrives, understandably so. If you have kids, we would recommend older kids who understand his quirks as his ideal match.He is a bit tall too so standing sturdy is a key feature of old kids-haha, most at least.
If you're looking for a golden boy to get your steps with in style, I enthusiastically introduce you to Fozzy, an adoptable and available rescue dog. Your perfect match!

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!

• 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion (must register within 24 hours of first vet appt.)
