This gorgeous boy is Bennet! Great with other dogs, so people-friendly, cat tolerant and so much fun to be around. He’s also stunning- with a rich, glossy, deep black coat, white eyeliner and the cutest little white socks.
We estimate that Bennet is about 3 years old and may be a Lab, Pit Bull mix. Bennet is a rescue, so his exact age and breed are unknown to us and cannot be guaranteed. He weighs in around 67 lbs and is the perfect size for couch snuggles, and neighborhood walks!

Bennet is SO friendly, people-focused and loving. He truly loves nothing more than affection.
Bennet did amazing with other dogs here at the rescue, he quickly became best friends with another rescue dog named Maggie. They were quick to share little doggy kisses, happy hops, and big romps. They played chase, and spent some time in the pool together. So cute! Bennet is currently fostered in a home with another dog, who he gets along well with.
Our behavior team cat tested Bennet, he did well meeting our house cat Tom. He was interested in Tom, until Tom hopped out of reach. Bennet quickly shifted his attention back to his people, we believe Bennet is cat tolerant and could live with dog savvy kitties.
Bennet does well riding in the car. He can be coaxed into loading up with a few treats. He rides in the backseat with his foster mom, he’s an excellent copilot, doesn’t roam or show signs of anxiety or car sickness. Bennett is also fairly easy on leash, he’s still learning, but he’s catching on quickly. Bennett will be an amazing dog to take out and about, he’s so social and will appreciate meeting new friends, and sniffing new scents!
Bennet has excellent house manners already. In his foster home, Bennet matches energy very well. If you’re calmly hanging out on the couch, Bennet will snuggle up with you and enjoy a peaceful evening in front of the tv. If you get rowdy and playful with Bennet, he will quickly return the favor and get excited with you. Bennet is so much fun to be around. His foster mom reports that his favorite toy is a stuffed lion!
Bennet is a medium energy dog who will appreciate daily walks or outdoor exercise time to keep him happy and healthy. Bennet would do well in a home with other dogs, or any animal lovers home. While he hasn’t been kid-tested yet, we do believe he would do well with children based on his demeanor and temperament. Bennet is a happy-go-lucky go-with-the-flow kind of guy that could do well in just about any home- as long as it’s a forever home.
We are willing to test this dog with anything you need us to in order to ensure he’s the perfect match for you! We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

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 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:
• 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion (must register within 24 hours of first vet appt.)

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.
