Meet Espresso Bean Good things take time to brew, and Espresso is proof of that. This 5-month-old Pointer/Labrador Retriever mix is one of the four adorable pups from the "Café" litter, and he's exactly the kind of dog who reveals himself in the best way. He's dressed in a beautiful white coat covered in the cutest tan details: a striking patch around his right eye, little cow-like spots scattered across his back, and a dipped tail that ties his whole one-of-a-kind look together. When Espresso first arrived, he was the more reserved and thoughtful one of the Café puppies. While some of his siblings dove headfirst into the middle of everything, Espresso liked to take it all in first, quietly sniffing around and giving himself a little time to decide that everything was okay. That gentle, observant nature is still part of who he is, but he has blossomed so much since then, and the playful, affectionate puppy underneath has come out in a big way. Espresso grew up alongside his three Café Litter siblings, giving him wonderful early socialization with other young puppies. Since being at the rescue, he has truly come out of his shell with other dogs, and they bring out his very best. He comes most alive in the company of his canine friends, where he's respectful, attentive, and affectionate. He would thrive in a household with other dogs, and he also does well with cats, making him a great fit for a busy, animal-loving home. The team at Three Little Pitties Rescue is rooting for this puppy. Espresso has wowed us with his openness, thoughtful nature, affection, and respectful play at such a young age. Like any puppy his age, Espresso is still early in his training journey. His forever family should be ready to continue working on potty training, crate training, leash skills, basic commands, and positive socialization with patience and consistency as he grows. Espresso is thoughtful, inquisitive, affectionate, and oh-so-sweet. Give this handsome spotted boy a loving home, and he'll happily show you just how much puppy love he's been brewing. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6a8df38e90889e1d800adb0c Questions?

Meet Dino Sprinkled Donut! Dino is an easygoing guy with a gentle nature and a steady, stable personality. He's the kind of dog who takes life as it comes, and with that sweet, mellow spirit, he makes friends wherever he goes. He's equal parts playful and couch potato. A little exercise is all Dino needs before he's ready to head back inside and relax, so he would do great in a home with a yard or even in an apartment. His handsome black and white coat is the perfect finishing touch for a dog who's as easy to love as he is to look at. Dino is an amazing social dog with both people and dogs. Dino would do best with a confident/avoidant cat household! Even though he doesn't currently live with another dog or cat, he greets every friend he meets with a loose body and a happy tail wag. He invites them to play, runs around for a little while, then takes a break and goes back to wandering the yard or relaxing nearby. He's a low energy guy, so he would do great in a home with a medium or low energy dog. He's also easy on the leash, which makes him a fun dog to take along to breweries and other outings. He's friendly, relaxed, and can fit in just about anywhere. Dino has spent a long time moving between households because of personal changes in his family. Through all of it, he has stayed the same sweet, stable guy, which says a lot about the dog he is. Now he's ready for something he hasn't had yet: a forever home. Dino is looking for a home that will give him love, a comfy spot on the couch, and a promise that this time is for good. Could that be you? https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6abfd49a9e6a2e6b450e78c8 Questions?

Introducing the “Old Farts” litter! 🐾❤️ First things first: they aren’t old, and they definitely aren’t farts. 😂 What they are is an absolutely adorable group of mixed-breed puppies! Some have abundant scruffy coats, others are a little smoother, and they come in a delightful variety of colors. There’s a personality—and a puppy—for everyone. Their names are a little nod to a simpler time, when you might have had a grandparent, great-aunt, or elderly neighbor named: 🌸Girls🌸 Estella Viola Augusta 💙Boys💙 Ralph Earl Walter These happy-go-lucky pups came from a small Texas shelter, and we knew we had to help them before their young lives were cut short. Despite their difficult beginning, they haven't let it slow them down one bit. They are playful, affectionate, curious, and very much convinced that people exist primarily for puppy attention. They’re working hard on their potty training and haven’t been introduced to leash walking just yet—but they’re ready to learn! And their superpowers? Those noses and ears! 👃👂Their foster says they could probably find you a mile away in the middle of the jungle if you rattled a bag of treats. We haven't tested the jungle theory yet, but we have no reason to doubt them. 😂 These babies deserve the very best life has to offer. They had a cruel start and almost didn't make it out, but their incredible zest for life reminds us that a rough beginning doesn't have to determine the ending. Now they’re ready for the next chapter. Could that chapter be with you? ❤️
