Beso is the kind of dog who becomes your best friend. She's not the dog who's going to throw herself into every stranger's lap, but she's friendly, accepting, and settles in beautifully once she feels comfortable. She forms deep bonds with her people and loves being included in everyday life. Once she knows you're hers, Beso is incredibly affectionate. She sleeps in bed with her foster family, happily soaks up cuddles, and is content to spend an evening curled up beside you on the couch. Her name means "kiss" in Spanish, and it couldn't suit her better. Beso currently lives in a foster home with numerous other dogs and has done exceptionally well. Her foster family regularly cares for large numbers of dogs, sometimes more than 19 at a time, and Beso has proven she can thrive in a busy, social environment. She especially loves playing with puppies and can often be found wrestling, playing tag, or engaging in a playful game of "keep away" with a favorite bone or toy. She gets along well with nearly every dog she meets, though she may not be the best match for a very dominant female dog. She's also cat-tolerant. When introduced to Biggy, the resident cat, she was curious but respectful and happily shared her space. Beso has some wonderfully charming quirks. She loves carrying stuffed animals around the yard, particularly toys that happen to match her own chocolate coloring. Her current prized possession is a Kong Snuzzle Reindeer that she proudly takes outside with her, although she's still working on remembering to bring it back inside. She enjoys splashing around in a baby pool, playing with her dog friends, riding in the car, and exploring new places. She's also known for her hilarious zoomies, where she tucks her back legs so far underneath herself that it almost looks like she's running on her front paws alone. Beso is a good car rider, highly food motivated, and eager to be with her people. She walks reasonably well on leash and responds nicely to gentle guidance. Because she loves treats, continued training should be both enjoyable and rewarding. We believe she could thrive in a home with a yard or in an active apartment lifestyle that provides regular exercise and enrichment. What Beso wants most is simple: a family to call her own. She would love a home where she can be included in daily life, whether that's joining you on outings, tagging along for car rides, playing with canine friends, or snuggling up at the end of the day. In return, you'll get a loyal companion with a playful spirit, a heart full of love, and a collection of stuffed animals scattered around your house and yard. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate dog who will happily be your sidekick through life's adventures and quiet moments alike, Beso may be the perfect match. Does Beso sound like your girl?

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 rescue’s 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 care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can 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 doesn’t stop there!

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!
