🐾 Meet Arya! 🐾
Hello! I'm Arya, a unique blend of Labrador Retriever and Pit Bull, or so they say. But what's more important is my vibrant personality and love for adventure. I'm a smart, energetic puppy who thrives on attention. I'm a cuddle bug and if you let me, I'll happily snooze in your lap.
My story is not unique. I come from an area where shelters are sadly overcrowded, leaving many of us in desperate situations. By choosing me, you're not just getting a furry friend, you're saving a life and making space for another puppy in need.
I'm a quick learner and have mastered some tricks like sitting, shaking, and lying down. Tug of War is my absolute favorite, but I'm always up for any game or challenge you throw my way! My life is a simple joy—play, eat, sleep, and repeat!
I need time to open up when I go into a new home. Initially, I might bark and huff to keep you from approaching, but don't worry—I'm just a little nervous and working on my manners. I'm very treat-motivated, which will greatly help me warm up to you. My foster family has found that if you crouch down, avoid eye contact, and offer me treats while speaking softly, I'll feel more comfortable. With your continued guidance, I can become an even more well-rounded companion.
As a young puppy, I'm seeking a family eager and committed to continuing my training, socialization, and daily exercise. I promise to grow into the perfect companion for all your adventures, whether walking in the park, hiking in nature, or strutting stylishly through the neighborhood.
I'll approach you more often as I begin to trust you, although I might still be cautious about being touched. Gentle pets under my chin and on my side as I walk by are best at first. I'll become more affectionate with patience and lots of praise and treats. I even enjoy playing with toys, especially ones with squeakers!
I may continue to bark and huff when you try to leash me up, but I'll stop barking and walk calmly with you once the leash is on. I'm easy to walk on a leash, though I could use more training to perfect my manners.
I may initially be shy in puppy playgroups, with my tail tucked to keep new dogs at bay. But once I see my sister or get more comfortable, I'll run around and play. Sometimes, I get overwhelmed and need a break, but I'm making great progress!
Are you ready to welcome endless affection into your life? Choose me, and let's start our journey of friendship and fun together! You'll get many puppy kisses and a devoted best friend in return. 🐾❤️

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 $800.00 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 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 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.
