My story

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

Meet Benji! He is 3 months old, 20 pounds, and we think he may be a German Shepherd/Lab mix, but with rescue it’s always a guess! This puppy is from a part of the US where puppies are regularly euthanized. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from this rescue, it saves their life AND it also allows us to save the life of another in its place.

Watch Benji‘s video here:


Benji is everything you could want in a puppy – playful, clever, and affectionate. This entire litter is amazing – each puppy is super friendly and affectionate with everyone they meet. Benji is well socialized around other dogs of all sizes and people too – even young kids. None of this litter has ever met a stranger – that’s how friendly and personable these puppies are. We can tell that Benji will be a fantastic family dog, and fit right into a home with other dogs, because he has an awesome head start with his loving foster family.

His foster family has two other larger dogs that are teaching Benji all the right things. Benji has already mastered the doggy door and is sleeping through the night in his crate. His foster family has already taught Benji several commands, including “in your bed” – and Benji and all the other dogs go to their respective spots/crates – we love this! Benji is even learning how to fetch from his human sister. This clever fellow is ready to find his forever home and will be your most loyal companion.

Benji is a gorgeous soft cream colour with white accents on his chest and paws. His big gorgeous eyes are rimmed in black (the very best eyeliner) and absolutely hypnotizing. Don’t hold his liquid gaze too long – he will convince you to give him more treats and belly rubs, lol! (We are actually quite happy to indulge him in both, and you will too when you see just how much he enjoys them.) You will fall in love his floppy ears and long waggy tail, and be entertained by his gentle puppy antics. Benji is fond of splooting and we just have to chuckle every time we see him stretch out and get comfy in that position.

It is hard to believe that this adorable boy and his 7 littermates were living outside in the overbearing Texas summer heat. He and his siblings were rescued from a small community in Rosharon where we do a lot of community outreach – our Executive Director could not let these puppies continue to be left on their own, when we could adopt them into our program and get them foster homes (indoors) and eventually adopted into a loving forever home. None of his litter was very interested in toys or soft stuffies, as they probably never had the chance to play as puppies should, so we will be leaving it up to their adopters to continue to spoil these amazing puppies with love, toys, and treats galore!

Benji is still young so he will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. His new family will need to continue with potty and crate training and daily exercise. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy. When old enough, he will be perfect to go on walks and hikes or show off around your neighborhood.

You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend!

Available for adoption in NV, MT, CO,UT, ID, OR, WA, Canada, and now the East Coast! Our PNW dogs are brought to you in style by a beautiful USDA licensed semi-truck, equipped with air conditioning for comfort, two drivers, and 2 onboard attendants providing 24 hour care. Our East Coast route will travel in a private, air conditioned 3LP-run van transport.

Pick up day is unforgettable! You will get to follow along on their journey through a private FB Event page, where you will see photos, have the opportunity to connect with other adopters, and receive updates and constant communication along the way. One of our Adoption Coordinators can help to find the closest transport pick up location to you!

The adoption fee is $825.00 and includes all vetting as recommended by our doctor: DAPP (2 to 4 depending on age and time in the program), Bordetella, Rabies vaccine (if old enough), multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, 2 months of heartworm preventative, extended medical such as dentals, eye surgeries, and orthopedic surgeries prior to adoption when suggested by our partner vets, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar for dogs over 4 months old, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and many priceless years of love and loyal companionship!

*WE ARE TOLD THAT WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND MEDICALLY. This is the feedback we tend to get, although we cannot guarantee perfect health.
*To fully vet a dog in the PNW or the NE at many vets it would be upwards of $1,800 just to fix, vaccinate, chip, etc. The adoption fees charged by our rescue do not cover our expenses medically for each animal, but we offset costs with donations. Your adoption fee is considered a donation towards actual costs.

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.)
• 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 6 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.
