Meet Calvin the dog and kid friendly loyal boy
Calvin seeks Hobbes for the fun-loving good life. He is charmingly friendly, perfectly affectionate, and a quintessential good-boy with a love for tennis balls and bodies of water.
Calvin has yet to meet a person who isnt enamored with him. He greets new friends with so much warmth its easy to understand why. 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 is undeniable. If he isnt 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 doesnt know a stranger and likely never will.
That same friendly nature can be seen when he is introduced to new dogs. His manners and social skills with other dogs is impressive, he is playful while remaining respectful and knowing when to take a break. One way to say it is that he matches energy really well! He is going to be 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!
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!
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 of 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!
In Calvins 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 reactive, 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
Calvins dream home, based on what we know of him, would be one with a playful dog for companionship. A house, apartment, or townhouse are all great! If a yard for general romping and running is available that is great but walks and play sessions will serve him just as well. He enjoys the outdoors 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.
Whether hes 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, dont 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 yall 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 rescues 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 caresuch as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic carecan 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 doesnt 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.
