Story
75 pounds of lap dog, and what more could you ask for from a dog like Oso? Oso is a true gentle giant, a homebody lover boy looking for a quiet life as your resident snuggle bug. He loves kids, and he’s amazing with other dogs. He’s soft and gentle and dreamy!
We think Oso is a Pittie mix of some sort. He is a rescue, so his exact age and breed are unknown to us and cannot be guaranteed. We estimate his age to be around 5 years old, and he has the mellow temperament to prove it!

Oso is a sweet snuggly boy. He loves to kiss, hug and snuggle. Couch snuggles are his favorite, and he’s gentle with his snuggles. No hard tail thwacks or sudden rough jumps into your space, Oso just wants a relaxing snuggle, preferably one that lasts most of the day and well into the night.
Oso is an adoring boy- and children are no exception. He did great meeting a thirteen year old, and showed off his “sit” skills with her for treats! While Oso is amazing with children, he is a mellow soul, and the jumps, pokes, and yelling of little ones can sometimes interfere with his mellow state of mind. He would prefer a home with kids twelve and up, and we think he would absolutely thrive as a family dog.
Oso is great with other dogs, he does well with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. He is small dog friendly, and has been fostered with small dogs before! He is not overly playful with other dogs, but will play if engaged with. He is incredibly tolerant, and here at the rescue we sometimes use him in behavior assessments with our more unruly dogs, because he is so unbothered! We think Oso would do best in a home with a low to medium energy doggy sibling.
Oso is incredibly friendly with everyone he meets, but in our experience he prefers lazy Sundays at home to nights out on the town. He’s great in the car, but gets a little uncomfortable in crowded spaces. He’s a low maintenance boy, happy to hang back at the house while you galavant about town.
Oso’s perfect home will have at least one loving human to keep him company, a couch to snuggle, and lots of treats to munch on. At this time, we recommend a kitty-free home for Oso. He would do well with doggy siblings, but could thrive as a solo dog. He could make a wonderful family dog! We think Oso would prefer a home in a more residential area, the countryside or suburbia, to city living. He’s a gentle, mellow boy, and city life is not for him.
With any questions, please reach out to his adoption coordinator, whose email is linked below. We are willing to test Oso 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.

You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!
You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.
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.

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!
Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
