Calhoun English

Hi, I am Calhoun! Joyful, innocent, goofy, affectionate.

I am a two- to three-year-old 70-pound Shepherd in search for my forever home.

I am a very sweet and loving boy and have been in my foster home for a few months.

My foster dad knows me very well and has a lot of nice things to say about me.

Foster dad is especially impressed with my ability to get along with all other dogs, and to defuse any situation where other dogs may start to get nervous or defensive.

I just use my goofy boy behavior to interject myself and show them that everything in life is not to be taken too seriously.

I roll, I jump over, I go under and I wiggle my way into their space and soon enough they realize I am right, and life is to be enjoyed.

My best friend's Muchi and Felix and I play for many hours every day and I am the one who picks what game we are going to play whether it is chase or wrestling or just cuddling together.

See my personality here: Although I sometimes look awkward because I have long legs and am silly at times, I am really very athletic, loving to run fast and jump for joy regularly as I play.

Foster dad loves to watch me run, as the joy I express is contagious.

Besides being such a playful boy, I am also very good in the house - I am crate-trained, walk well on leash, enjoy car rides, and love children.

I crate up on my own and stay quiet in my crate.

I love my crate.

I am looking for a forever home where I can be an integral part of the family.

I love being with my people very much and hope that we can go on lots of adventures together.

Once we bond, I will do very well off leash on adventures, as I want to be with you and have great recall.

If you think I might be the right one for you, please do not hesitate to talk to my adoption coordinator and see if we are a good fit!

The stray and animal overpopulation in the Greater Houston area is one of 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 choice but to euthanize animals for space.

We prepare them for adoption by properly vetting and providing individualized care through our incredible behavior program that consists of socialization and leash training for all animals that enter our adoption program prior to matching them with loving families who will treasure them for the rest of their lives.

They are rescue dogs and will require continued training efforts once adopted, but will be well on their way to being the best dogs that they can be! Three Little Pitties Rescue will soon be celebrating our 5 year anniversary! Over the course of this time, we have been very fortunate for so much growth, allowing us to further connect with the community and save many lives.

Through the combined efforts of all of our hardworking staff and volunteers, we have placed over 10,000 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 brought into our rescue program.
