MEET ROMEO! Are you looking for a dog to be your loyal companion and protector? If so, Romeo is your guy! He is a handsome 6-year-old male Black Mouth Cur, possibly mixed with Boxer. (His shelter paperwork says shepherd-boxer mix). Romeo is a gorgeous, handsome dog who loves to walk, hike and be with his person or people. He would be an awesome companion for someone who loves to hike! He's a great guard dog and can be protective, so would do best in a non-congested area where neighbors aren't a concern. Romeo also has a prey drive, so needs a strong owner. He has done well with other dogs, though has been leash reactive in the past. He's incredibly smart, affectionate, and will attach to his person or people. He is easy to groom, is playful, and loves a good belly rub! He will benefit from walks, hikes, and exercise, and people who understand his breed. Romeo weighs 74 lbs. Please email for an application.

This sweet boy can go from a seemingly shy boy to the happiest lover boy with just the sound of sweet talk! It's amazing to see him light up with the smallest of sweet talk. He understands that it’s directed at him and the head tilts get you in your feels! Hunter Smalls… because what he hunts for is small- a sweet talking someone of his very own. https://youtu.be/uHWPUY4MnMg?feature=shared At an estimated 2 years old, Hunter has a calm demeanor that typically only comes with age. He is a petite 39 lbs of calm, dog-friendly, cat-tolerant, peaceful companionship. Aside from the power sweet talk has over him, my favorite thing about Hunter is his contentedness. Whether its out in the yard or in the living room, he is happy to share space with in your company. You don’t need to entertain him and he won’t be pestering you for endless games of catch. This gentle soul can be a touch shy at first, but once he senses your warmth and the sweet talk begins, he opens up to show you his loving nature. With his calm demeanor and quiet disposition, Hunter is going to be a wonderful companion to you and other dogs at home. He is a gentleman in the company of other dogs, showing a playful side while maintaining his cool even when other dogs get a bit pushy.. A home with a calm, friendly companion would be a dream! In rescue we cannot know age or breed with any guarantee but believe he may be a black mouth cur mix. Thanks to his size and incredibly calm and content nature, Hunter has potential to be an apartment boy but he would love a cozy home with a little yard to explore and occasionally nap in. His light-up face and gentle soul promises to keep your life charmed and full of love! His charm and loyalty are going to feel like such a gift! Adopt Hunter and know the depth of rescue love waiting in him! If you have any questions about Hunter or would like us to test him in a specific setting or for a particular detail, please reach out! We are committed to making sure he is the perfect fit for you and your lifestyle, and we can accommodate most requests to make that happen. Please email kristin@threelittlepittiesrescue.org with any questions.

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: https://youtu.be/O2HJSO7A0Ws 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. Questions?

Do you ever have those moments where you’re relaxing on the couch watching a movie, you're out in your backyard grilling or you're just doing house chores and think “man, it would be really nice to have a buddy to share this with.” Well look no further because Sheldon Cooper is just your guy!! Sheldon wants to kick back and enjoy the simple things in life with his favorite person right by his side. One of the cutest and sweetest things about Sheldon is the way he looks at you. He has the sweetest most soulful eyes you’ve probably ever seen. He peers into your soul making you feel like you’re the most important person in the world. There’s something about a dog’s ability to make someone feel that special that you just can’t describe in words. It’s a feeling that only the lucky few ever get to experience. He is your soul. There is no doubt about it. The bond with Sheldon goes so much deeper than you can even imagine. He’ll capture your heart, just watch his video and you’ll see: https://youtu.be/SNN0-MI7f7s?si=tLz_pAYVwLw2Wy1T Sheldon really does teach you how to slow down in life and to really appreciate everything around you. He loves laying out in the backyard, belly up and just soaking it all in like there’s no care in the world. He’s just a sweet and cuddly homebody that thrives in a slower paced environment with people that have the exact same mindset as he does. He loves a good snuggle and can be very affectionate towards the person he bonds with. Strangers and young kids can be scary for Sheldon, so he needs slow introductions to be able to feel secure and comfortable with new people and prefers a home with no kids but once you’re in his corner, it’s game over! You’ll forever be his favorite person and you’ll gain the sweetest little shadow. The perfect homebody companion. He’s also more than just your regal gentleman, he has a goofy side too. One of the things that he does that we love so much is the way he trots with such sass when his favorite person calls him over. His little ears just start flopping around and he gets the biggest smile on his face. And man does he love to play with toys. Especially stuffy toys! He loves tossing them up in the air and catching them like he’s air bud from the movies. He also does the cutest little hops when he’s playing too. Sheldon knows how to entertain himself quietly with a chew toy chew or a stuffy. He can be relaxing on the couch with you by his side while you’re watching tv or even working from home and there will be Sheldon quietly chewing his toy entertaining himself. Sheldon is a black mouth cur mix approximately 2 years old and currently weighs 46 lbs and is full grown. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Sheldon is extremely dog friendly and is so great with other dogs that he’s even occasionally used as an assessment dog here at the rescue. This means that Sheldon welcomes our new intake dogs, and teaches them that the rescue is a fun and safe place to be, while showing us bits of their personality that are only apparent in dog-to-dog interactions. He would do great in a home with even multiple dogs in the home. He loves to play, has a gentle play style and knows when to take breaks as well. He is great at communicating with other dogs as well if the play becomes a little too much. He gives very appropriate corrections letting them know he needs a little break. Sheldon is in play groups everyday at the rescue with up to 10-15 dogs at a time all with different personalities and has the time of his life. Another great option for him would be doggy day care if you don’t have other dogs. He would love to be your only companion because to him that just means more affection and can be the center of attention, which he will absolutely love. So if you don’t have other dogs, want him to be able to socialize and to have some fun and if you work long hours, take him to doggy day care during the day. He does great in those settings and it helps him stay socialized with dogs and with people. We actually would prefer to see him attend doggy day care if you are a single person with no other dogs. As mentioned previously, new people can be a little scary for him, so when he is in a structured and routined environment it really helps his confidence. Even though he is very dog friendly and does great in big groups, including doggy day care, we don’t want to see him going to dog parks. There are too many unknown variables as well as too many strangers that would want to approach him and he doesn’t enjoy being approached by strangers. Sheldon would be best in a home with a backyard or even on some property where he can join you out on a nice day gardening, explore the land with you, and sunbathe out in the grass on a nice summer day. He also loves the water, so if you have a pool or a pond on your property, he would love that too. We see Sheldon being in a home with a homebody single person that either works from home or someone that will take him to doggy day care during the day if you work long hours. He's a goofy homebody introvert that just loves to be around his one person that doesn’t care to have a lot of visitors and is perfectly happy just being by themselves with their dog. He’s the perfect companion that will snuggle with you, be your little shadow and simply just enjoy the simple things in life with you. We are willing to test Sheldon Cooper with anything you need us to in order to ensure it’s the perfect match for you! We can make anything happen!
