When you meet Calvin, one of the first things that comes to mind is, "he's just a happy sweet innocent baby boy" and that can't be farther from the truth! He really is a happy go lucky sweet guy that is so engaging with everyone he meets.
Calvin has yet to meet a person who isn’t enamored with him. He greets new friends with so much warmth and love. His adoring personality shines through those big brown eyes of his when he sits at your feet to say hello. He is giving 100% attention and open-heart and it's hard to resist. If he isn’t at your feet in a perfect sit, he has rolled over for a belly rub, all the while his tail is wagging in double time. This is a boy who doesn’t know a stranger and likely never will. One of the cutest things about Calvin though that is super unique, are the cute little freckles on his tongue! You can see them in his video. It's almost like this special boy has his own set of beauty marks and was kissed by an angel. That's probably why he is so easy to fall in love with and makes you feel all warm and happy inside. Another cute thing about Calvin that we have to mention are those adorable ears of his. When he runs around they flop, bounce, and have their own personality. You especially see that in pictures. With his ear ever so slightly sticking up and that cute little head tilt that he does, you now have yourself a new screen saver!
Watch his video and you’ll see exactly what we’re talking about:

That same friendly nature can be seen when he is introduced to new dogs. When he meets new dogs, even on leash, his tail is just wagging away making his whole body wiggle. His manners and social skills with other dogs are so impressive, he is playful while remaining respectful and knows when to take breaks. He loves to run around, play chase, wrestle with other dogs and takes corrections very well from those that don't want to play. One way to say it, is that he matches energy really well! He is going to make an amazing play-mate if you are looking for both an amazing family dog and a dream k-9 companion for your current dog. If your dog happens to love the water, then this boy might be the perfect match because Calvin does too! He is the cutest in a little dog pool, I can only imagine the overload of cuteness when he gets to experience the ocean or a lake! You will get to be front row for that if you choose to adopt Calvin!
Calvin is est. to be 1 year old, weighs 44 lbs and is possibly a Black Mouth Curr/ Pittie mix, but of course, he is a rescue pup and we cannot guarantee age or breed makeup. The best part about his size is we believe he is fully grown at this perfect small/medium size. As a testament to his size, he is easy to pick up and the best part is, no wiggling or fussing here! Given his age and that he is a rescue, it is safe to say, you will be there for his first of many new experiences and I know it is going to be overwhelmingly good!
In Calvin’s get-to-know him video it is mentioned that a kitty-free home would be best for him. This is not an exclusive no-cats, he may be a little curious about cats, he is not overly interested, but may try to play with a cat. If you have a cat, you know them well enough to decide if that is a fitting match. We believe it is possible with proper introductions and a dog-savvy cat, he could fit well into a home with feline friends.
Calvin’s dream home, based on what we know of him, would be one with a playful dog for companionship. He would love to be adopted out to a home that has a yard for general romping and running around, a place where y'all can play fetch and simply just enjoy being outside together. He enjoys the outdoors and would love to go on walks in the neighborhood with you and if you have an adventurous heart, Calvin will happily join you on those outings as well. But he is so easy-going that he will fit in any living situation with ease- as long as the love is flowing, the adventures are regular, and toys are present. Speaking of toys, Calvin is a fetch SUPERSTAR!! This boy loves tennis balls and fetch comes naturally to him. Watching him play fetch too with so much joy and enthusiasm will make just about anyones day. Not only does Calvin play fetch but he also knows how to what we call "auto sit." Which is when a dog comes up to you and sits automatically without being told too. That should tell you right there how smart this boy is and how eager he is to please. Any future training will be so enjoyable with him. He is engaging, treat motivated and smart, all of which provides a solid foundation for just that! Calvin would also do great in a home with family with kids. He has been around kids as young as 4 years old and was so sweet and gentle with them.
Whether he’s hanging out with you on the couch, splashing in the water, or making new friends Calvin infectious joy will make a good life even better and brighter. If you think Calvin is the one, don’t wait to apply— he will not be available for long and you do not want to miss a boy this perfect or all the fun y’all could have ahead of you.

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.
