Story
A teeny tiny gentleman ready to be your best friend, meet Rosco Pops! Loving, goofy, mellow and relaxed, Rosco is just the cutest bestest little man!
Rosco weighs in at just 14 pounds, and we believe him to be a Rat Terrier, Chihuahua mix, around 5 years old. Rosco Pops is, however, a rescue. His exact age and breed are unknown to us, and cannot be guaranteed. We can guarantee that Rosco is 100% good boy, an established well-rounded gentleman!

Rosco is such a charmer, with a big goofy smile, and his cute lil face! This boy loves belly rubs and treats, and knows exactly how to get them- by being SO cute, of course!
Rosco warms up to new humans quickly. He’s a people-loving dog that just wants to be held, pet and snuggled. I’m so sure that it will be love at first sight when he meets his forever family. Rosco already has good house manners, he’s pretty easy on leash and great at meeting strangers- no barking, pulling, or lunging. At 5 years old, Rosco has the whole “good dog” thing down, and he’ll make an excellent companion quickly.
Rosco Pops is currently living in a foster home with kitties, and he gets along just fine with them! He’s not playful with them, but will cozy up on the couch beside them, he’s assimilated well into kitty culture and greatly appreciates the art of a “cat nap.” Here are the rescue, he was cat-tested, and our behavior team agrees that he is well-suited to live with feline housemates.
With other dogs, Rosco is just a bit of an old man. He doesn’t want to play rough and rowdy, and does a great job reading doggy social cues, and knowing when to correct and when to retreat. With shy dogs, Rosco is quick to give them space, always so polite. Rosco has been a diplomatic gentleman with all of the dogs here at the rescue, from shy little puppies to the rowdiest of our big Pitties.
Rosco would do wonderfully in just about any home, he’s a go with the flow kind of guy, cat and dog friendly. He seems to enjoy calmer settings, and may do best in a calm and quiet household. Rosco would love to be your best buddy. He kindly asks that you take him on the occasional outing, allow him to trot after you through the house, and snuggle up on the couch with him as often as possible! Rosco will make an excellent addition to your pack, or thrive as a solo dog. He’s easy-peasy and ready for his forever home!
Rosco is an established good dog, with a wonderful personality, and an excitement for the everyday that will surely bring joy to your life. This handsome little guy is just looking for a soft place to land, and a human to call his own.
We are willing to test this dog with anything you need us to in order to ensure he’s the perfect match for you! We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

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!
It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these special perks:
• 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion (must register within 24 hours of first vet appt.)
• A free private online dog training session with GoodPup plus low pricing for future sessions (approx $25 weekly for an 8 week course of one session per week)
• One free bonus toy in every BarkBox when signing up for their Super Chewer subscription plan

• Coupons for a fun visit to Petco
• Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup!
We celebrated our 5 year anniversary this year! Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 12,000 very lucky dogs and cats into amazing homes! By adopting from us, you save TWO lives! The pet you adopt, and you create an opportunity for another animal to be saved in that spot. Together, we can be heroes.
