Rocky is a perfect blend of snugglebug and running buddy, he’s a people-oriented sweetheart with a splash of sunshine that will brighten up your dullest of days.
We believe that Rocky is a perfect blend of Boxer and Staffie, but he is a rescue so his exact age and breed cannot be guaranteed. Rocky currently weighs in at 52 pounds, and he likes to hug, so you’ll definitely get a feel for those 52 pounds. Sweet Rocky is estimated to be around 3 years old, past the terrors of puppyhood and settling firmly into his established good dog era.
Fall in love with Rocky here: https://youtu.be/qr4yfA_KPN0?feature=shared
Rocky loves other dogs, he’s excited to meet them and loves to zoom and play chase with them. He’s currently fostered in a devoted foster home with other dogs, including a small Pomeranian mix. He has a fun and bouncy playstyle that can sometimes be a bit excitable and clumsy in nature, we think he would do best in a home with a confident female canine companion.
Rocky is good on leash already, and enjoys tandem walks with doggy friends through his foster mom’s neighborhood. He loves treats, and he’s food motivated, which makes further training enjoyable and rewarding for both of you. He can get excited for treats, he’ll do some little bunny hops and make big baby eyes at you as he gets his hopes up, but he’s exceptionally gentle taking treats from your hand. It’s too cute!
Rocky is a total lovebug. He has this adorable habit of resting his chin right in your hand for pets. He seeks affection, and will bring his head to your legs for a few scratches. He gives big kisses too, and as we all know, dog-slobber has anti-aging properties!
This boy is an adventure dog too! He’s great in the car, friendly and warm with everyone he meets, and so confident. He would make an amazing hiking companion! He’s so outdoorsy, and doesn’t mind the mud, puddles or rain. He’s a stick dog too, he loves to pick up and play with sticks he finds in the yard- a classic dog trait that’s endearing every time you see it!
Rocky’s perfect home has at least one adoring human to rub his belly and feed him treats. Rocky could live with other dogs, but we do not recommend him for a home with kitties. We think Rocky would be happiest in a home with a fenced yard, because he does love to zoom. While we haven’t seen Rocky with kids just yet, we think he would make a great family dog in a home with kids over 10! We are willing to test Rocky with anything you need us to in order to ensure he is the perfect match for you! We can make most anything happen! Just let us know.

We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! 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!
You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!

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.
