Meet Choco: Your Pocket-Size Chocolate Lab Mix Dream!
Do you adore the look of a big chocolate lab but wish they came in a smaller, more manageable package? Meet Choco, the mahogany-colored charmer who is here to make your dreams come true!

Hes full of energy, affection, and boundless joy, always ready to bring smiles and laughter wherever he goes.

Meet Choco here:


Choco is all about love and fun. He is so fortunate to be waiting for his adoption day in the home of a devoted foster family. Hes incredibly affectionate, relishing every cuddle, especially when he can snuggle up in the kids beds or curl up beside you on the couch. His playful nature is infectious, and he never says no to a romp with other dogs. Choco's is fostered with three female dogs ranging in size from 45lbs to 60lbs, and he loves all of them! While hes adjusting to household life and still getting used to everyday noises (the vacuum is currently his arch-nemesis), hes eager to learn and thrives with patience and understanding. He sleeps a solid 10 hours at night in his crate, and can be crated during the day with a chew toy to keep him busy.

This sweet boy is a social butterfly, enjoying walks, meeting new people, and showing off his good leash manners. He needs a home with a yard to match his energy, where he can run, play, and soak up the sunshine. While Choco loves other dogs and would do best with a doggy sibling, hes best suited for a cat-free homehis playful instincts make kitties a bit too exciting!

Choco is the perfect mix of charm, affection, and fun. If youre looking for a loyal companion wholl keep you loving life, Choco is your guy. Dont waitadopt Choco today and let the adventures begin

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.

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!
