Story
Meet Mocha, the mild mannered sweetheart!
Mocha is a stunning girl with a rich brown coat that shimmers in the sunlight and eyes that seem to speak straight to your heart. At first glance, she carries herself with quiet reservation, but give her time and you’ll start to see the gentle smile that lives just beneath the surface.
We believe that Mocha is a Pittie mix that is around 2 years old! Due to her being a rescue, age and breed cannot be guaranteed. But with a face like hers, all the specifics pale in comparison.
Watch Mocha’s video to see her gentle nature shine!

This shy girl is learning that the world can be kind. At first, she may stand back, taking in her surroundings and the people around her, but as her confidence grows, so does her energy. Mocha has taken trips to Lowe’s with her foster mommy and rides calmly in the car, watching the world with quiet curiosity. She responds well to structure and is comforted by routine. After a burst of play, she walks herself to her crate, ready to rest with the same steady calm she brings to all things.
When meeting other dogs, Mocha is careful and composed. She gives respectful greetings, shows interest, and moves at her own pace. She avoids conflict naturally, choosing space and stillness when things feel overwhelming. Even when another dog pushes her boundaries, she responds gracefully. Her ideal canine companion would be a calm, easygoing dog, someone with a mellow energy who will give her space to feel comfortable.
Mocha has also done well with cats. Her approach is measured and polite. She observes without chasing, stays calm in their presence, and doesn’t seek to overwhelm. A home with a dog-savvy, calm cat would be a lovely fit for her gentle spirit.
Mocha hasn’t lived with small children, but her temperament suggests she could do well in a home with respectful kids who are gentle and kind. Since she hasn't spent much time around young children, we are happy to introduce her to any age kiddo you may have in your life! We want to make sure she is perfect for your family!
She is affectionate in her own time, not rushing into laps but never turning away kindness either. She accepts touch softly and seems to understand when someone is offering love. She enjoys the sunshine on her back, peaceful moments in the yard, and the quiet comfort of simply being near the people she is learning to trust.
Mocha is the kind of dog who opens up little by little, each day revealing a little more of the beauty inside her. She doesn’t ask for much, just a home with a slower pace, a routine she can count on, and people who will show her that she is safe, loved, and finally home.

Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!

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.
It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these SPECIAL PERKS:

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.
