Basset Hound puppies and dogs in Payson, Utah

That sweet, squishable face belongs to Curly, a calm, loving, easy-going little guy with a huge heart and the cutest curly tail. So lovey, people friendly, good with dogs and cats, a great companion dog!! Curly is around 1 year old, and we suspect him to be a hound mix of some sort. He has a looooong body, short legs with feet that splay out and the cutest underbite with yellow golden eyes. Curly weighs in around 56 pounds right now, tiny but beefy with his short little legs! A “small” big dog, the perfect size for couch snuggles. Watch Curly here: https://youtu.be/q-rVyKmqBMY?si=OZQzq6i2dbCA6aI6 Curly is a charmer to his core, he’s so so loving and people-friendly, he has the cutest little underbite and he’s so engaging with humans. Curly opens up quickly with new humans, he will ask just about anyone for belly rubs. I just know that it will be “love at first sight” for him the moment he meets his forever family. He’s super affectionate, but not overly pushy about it, and doesn’t jump up for pets. He’s such a good boy! Here at the rescue, Curly has made friends with kids aged 3-13. He’s gentle, sweet and patient with all of them! See Curly interact with kids for yourself in his video. Curly did well meeting other dogs here at the rescue, and currently lives in a foster home with multiple other dogs. He gets along well with all that he meets, and he’s loving and sweet with other dogs. Curly is all about sweet puppy kisses, and going with the flow. Curly plays with his foster doggy-sister every day and would likely do well in a home with another moderately playful dog to keep him company. Here at the rescue, Curly was cat tested by our behavior team. He did really well meeting our house cat Tom, he was unfazed by him and quickly shifted his focus back to his people. Our behavior team recommends Curly for a home with dog-savvy cats! Curly is new to all the luxury a life with loving humans can afford. So far, he does well in the car, and does well in the house. He has great house manners, and doesn’t have accidents indoors in his foster home, or at the rescue. He’s still learning how to walk on leash, but he’s great about checking in with his people, and doesn’t bark at other dogs while he’s on leash. With consistent training, Curly could learn to love the leash. For the time being, we do recommend Curly for a home with a fenced yard, so that potty breaks aren’t too stressful. Curly’s perfect home has at least one loving human, and another dog to keep him company, but he’s not too picky about the rest. Curly could live with kitties, and would love a couch to curl up on. This sweet boy will make such a wonderful companion, he’s an easy-going boy, and sooo loving. Curly will bring so much joy into your life. We are willing to test him with anything you need us to in order to ensure he’s the perfect match for you! We can make most 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!

It’s a guarantee that anyone that meets him will fall in love!  You can tell by his pictures he is very photogenic and he’ll be open to any modeling opportunities that are presented to him     Meathead is around 2 years old. He’s a Basset Hound Mix and we think he could have some Cane Corso as well (his big size has to come from a bigger breed). He’s 90 pounds of 100% love!    Meathead is VERY food motivated! He has the nose of a Hound and can sniff out anything yummy! He’s also AWESOME at catching treats with his huge mouth     He’s GREAT with kids of all ages (very patient with the tiny kids). Wonderful with other dogs too.    He is a great mix of playful and chill. He loves a good belly rub and he’ll cuddle up to you anytime you’re open to it. Sometimes he forgets how big he is and might try and climb in your lap. He also LOVES stuffed animals and loves to carry them around in his mouth.    He’s house trained, dog door trained, and crate trained. We don’t think he’ll necessarily need to be in a crate since he doesn’t chew up anything he’s not supposed to.    If you think you're the someone(s) that can provide him a loving and safe home, then please apply to meet him today at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 2, 2024, 11:50 am

Trixie is a special needs basset. Rescued dogs frequently arrive with a lot of unanswered questions. We and our vets think Trixie was born with a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia or CH. A part of her brain did not fully develop leaving her with balance issues, difficulty judging distance, and clumsiness to the point where walking is really not an option for her. Even with all her challenges, she is able to get around the house and navigate a couple of steps. She can pretty much get anywhere she wants to go. After trying Trixie in both a 2- and 4-wheel cart, we have started to investigate a modified cart specifically for CH dogs. She is too wobbly to use the 2- and 4-wheel carts. Aside from this condition, Trixie is happy and healthy. She does great with other dogs (although she doesn't play) and is expected to have a normal lifespan. Our vet suggests that her coordination could benefit from some regular physical therapy. We plan to start that just after the first of the year when things slow down a bit. If you are interested in Trixie, please give UFBH a call and/or fill out the application and talk with us about her condition.

This cheerful boy will win your heart with his happy smile. About seven years old, Kody is just starting his senior years and is a low-key fellow with his golden years ahead to share with the right person. He is friendly but doesn't need constant attention. A calm and independent boy who is content to simply be with his people, smelling all the smells, and enjoying the occasional roll in the grass or dirt. Life is full of simple pleasures and Kody knows how to appreciate them.Kody is a big, tri-color Basset boy who came to the rescue quite overweight. Although he has slimmed down some, he'll need help from his new people to manage his weight. Kody was heartworm positive when he arrived but has completed treatment and is heartworm free! He can resource guard food so he needs a home that can carefully manage food and feeding times to help him avoid negative behaviors. A home without small children would be best. Kody would likely do well as an only dog or with an easy-going canine sibling. This happy guy will make an amazing companion for the right person. Could that be you?

Shirley (with blue eyes) and LaVerne are a bonded pair; pretty much sisters! They were rescued while living on their own and trying to survive the wild coyotes that were attacking them. In spite of this horrible experience, both are loving and friendly with both people and other dogs. LaVerne and Shirley will need to be adopted together. LaVerne is also heartworm positive and will need a home that can help her through that treatment. (UFBH will cover cost of her treatment.) These are two very special girls who will bring much love and Basset-ness to any home they join.

Bear is a very well-adjusted older Basset mix with good manners and he is house trained to use a doggie door. He may need a little direction if you don't have a dog door, but will learn quickly; especially if he has another dog to follow.This sweet old guy would be happiest living with another dog. If you're looking for a wonderful mellow addition to your family, Bear is the one for you!
