Johnny Walker

Hi, I'm Johnny! I’m a confident and loving senior dog who's estimated to be just over 8-years-old. I weigh 69 pounds and we think I’m a lab mix, but with rescue it’s always a bit of a mystery! I've got a vibrant personality that shines through, especially when I'm around humans—whether we're meeting for the first or the fiftieth time, I'll greet you with a wagging tail and a big smile. I'm quite the social butterfly, showing no hesitation when it comes to meeting new people. Men, women, and children—I love them all. My foster mom says I'm a bit of a charmer because I confidently strut up and might even roll on my back for some loving belly rubs. When it comes to handling, I'm all in! Go ahead, check my ears, tail, paws—you'll only get happy wiggles and excited kisses from me. I'm pretty good on a leash too. I heel nicely and respond well to corrections. I get super excited when I see other dogs and might pull a bit because I just can't wait to say hi, though I can be a little awkward in those initial dog to dog interactions. Speaking of other dogs, I love playing with them, especially off-leash where I can really show off my friendly, playful side. I take corrections well from other dogs, and after a good play, I’m all about relaxing. I live with five cats and get along with them famously. I’m curious but respectful, giving them their space after a quick sniff. I'm not much into treats when other dogs are around; I'd rather play or get some cuddles. In terms of my dream home, I'm looking for one with some space to play and people who enjoy a balanced lifestyle. I might be a bit vocal, especially on the leash out of sheer joy, so I'd do well in a home that doesn't mind a cheerful talker. I’d love to join a family with another moderately playful dog, but I would do well as an only dog too. If you’re looking for a spirited, affectionate companion who can fill your days with joy and your nights with peace, I’m your guy! I’m being fostered in Friendswood, TX and I can travel to the PNW, the East Coast, and Canada.

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 provide weekly socialization programs for our dogs through playgroups and group leash training classes available to all dogs in our adoption program, and Doggy Sleepover, Doggy Day Out, and Ambassador programs for our boarding dogs. There is a professional dog trainer on staff to provide support for our fosters and dogs, and an off-site dog trainer for dogs that need more extensive behavior modification. This helps us learn deeply about every dog, prepare them for adoption, and ultimately match them with loving families. 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: • 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 • 70% off of your first order of Fetch, a PNW based, organic fresh dog food loaf meal 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.
