Story
Brave, strong, beautiful- that’s how Valentina’s foster family describes her. She is all of the above, she is also obedient, smart, loyal, loving, affectionate, cat and dog friendly, and such a bright spirit!
Valentina is a beagle mix of some sort- she is a rescue, so age and breed are just best guesses! We estimate Valentina to be around 1 year old, still young enough to train and socialize from the ground up, but grown out of the terrors that puppyhood can bring.

Valentina is great with other dogs, here at the rescue she was a little bit shy with other pups at first, in a brand new environment with brand new dogs, but very friendly! She knows when and how to exit an interaction, and didn’t bat an eye at other dogs getting up close and personal with her. With kitties, Valentina is amazing! A total sweetheart, she showed no reactivity or prey drive with our house cat, Tom. See Valentina’s cat test for yourself in her video. Valentina also lives with cats in her foster home.
With humans, Valentina is so gentle, sweet and loving. She is a very social pup that warms up to new humans quickly. She likes to give little kisses, and she’s so snuggly- this girl will find a way to be touching you, no matter the situation. In our time together, she spent a lot of time standing quietly with her side touching my leg, or sitting in my lap, or extending one paw to touch my leg as we sat on the ground together. She is very confident though, not overly needy, she just enjoys human affection! Playtime with Valentina is soooo cute and fun, she likes to play fetch, chomp on stuffies, or play “find the treat.” This cutie has a SNIFFER on her, she found lots of unclaimed treats around the rescue. She would probably appreciate puzzle toys and sniff mats!
Valentina is so calm for her age, no rambunctious outbursts, barking or pacing. She’s all about being in the present moment, connecting with the humans around her, and enjoying all that rescue doggy life is. She’s good on leash, she has great house manners, and here at the rescue, didn’t have any accidents in the house. She rides easily in the car, and she’s so social, friendly and loving with new humans that bringing her out and about will be easy! Valentina also did well in her crate here at the rescue, and does well in her crate at her foster mom’s house.
Valentina has not been kid tested yet, but we suspect she’ll do just fine with little ones. She’s so gentle and sweet, loyal and affectionate.
Valentina’s perfect home has at least one loving human to call her own. She’s small and quiet enough to do well in an apartment, people-focused enough to do well as a solo-dog, but good enough with other dogs to do well as one of many. Valentina has been cat tested and could happily live with dog-savvy kitties. She’s not very picky about her forever home, she just hopes to find it soon!
Valentina is a dream dog. So so so cute, affectionate, naturally happy and well behaved. Dogs like this are once-in-a-lifetime, and with a face that cute- Valentina will likely be adopted fast! If you’re interested in Valentina, we are willing to test her with anything you need us to in order to ensure she’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! 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 5 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.
