One version of Shirley Temple is the innocently charming, fancy sweet drink loved by kids, of course named after an adorable actress. This Shirley Temple is just as innocent and sweet!
There is something about her that exudes an innocence, in the way a little kid is curious but respects a stern no when needed, she is at the perfect age for training and shaping. While at the rescue she will work on lots of skills but the real magic happens when they get home. Being welcomed into a home and family looks good on any dog but it really does something amazing to a rescue dog. So imagine what all her sweet enthusiasm for play, adoring attention, and eagerness to learn is going to amount to! An already great dog with the beauty of a loving family is really special to witness, even better to know personally.
Shirley was fortunate to have a foster home during her formative puppy months and that has served her well. She is gentle, has great house manners, and is crate trained. She can occasionally get a bit vocal in her crate if you are near or other animals are out having fun and she feels left out. It all comes from a sweet place, she wants to play too!
Shirley would benefit from a home with a playful dog, maybe even a bit older, who she could “shadow” for a few weeks to really take notes on the ins and outs of being a house dog. A mentor, but who also likes to play! A yard for bouncing around in and exploring would be dreamy!
If you have a cat, no need to worry here, Shirley is so respectful of cats. Even though she is curious she keeps a respectful distance and wouldn’t dare even think about trying to chase or be pushy with a cat. We love a respectful dog!
Since she's still a young pup, Shirley will thrive with a family ready to continue socializing and training her to be the best and most well-rounded dog she can be. Leash skills, greeting people, navigating public spaces, all the best skills are built on training and practice no matter how old a new dog is. She comes ready to learn and ready to become your walking buddy, hiking partner, passenger princess, and so much more!
So go on and order a Shirley Temple!
Kisses are included for no additional charge!

*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.
