My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Cricket!
If you’re searching for a loyal, loving companion who’s the total package, Cricket is your guy. This handsome, affectionate boy is as sweet as they come and has a big heart just waiting to share with his forever family.

Cricket is both house trained and crate trained, making him an easy addition to your home. He’s a smart pup who already knows some commands and is eager to learn more—especially if treats are involved! He enjoys his toys, loves a good game of fetch, and delights in exploring the yard or going for walks.

Cricket is also good with cats, so he can easily fit into a home with feline friends. He’s currently working on his manners with jumping—he just gets so excited to see people! With continued guidance, he’ll master this in no time.

When playtime is over, Cricket is happiest curled up next to his people, soaking in all the attention and love he can get. His affectionate nature and sharp mind make him the perfect mix of playful and well-mannered.

Cricket is ready to bring joy, companionship, and plenty of tail wags to a lucky family. Could it be yours?

More about this rescue

P3 is a united rescue effort to both save pitties and support veterans. At P3 we LOVE Pitties & we LOVE & RESPECT our Veterans! 2800 Pitties & Pittie Mixes are euthanized in overcrowded shelters every day, over 1 million every year. 22 Veterans commit suicide every day, over 8,030 per year. At P3 we find these numbers UNACCEPTABLE! P3 was created in March of 2024 with the goal of rescuing Pit Bulls and Pit Bull mixes from overcrowded shelters where they are at risk of euthanasia and providing the necessary training for them to provide emotional support, nightmare alerts, and pressure therapy during episodes of anxiety and stress so they can be paired with a Veteran struggling with PTSD reducing the risk of Veteran suicide. While we support our Veterans, our rescue is not limited to the placement of service dogs for Veterans only. Our Veterans program is only one aspect of what we do. We want to help EVERY pittie find the perfect furever family!
