This beautiful and polite lady is named Fiona. Fiona is looking for a family, and would do well in a hectic home with kids, a peaceful apartment with a first time dog owner, or anything in between. She’s a true comfort dog, a wonderfully versatile girl that enjoys her time in nature and has great house manners. She’s cat tolerant too, she’s the complete package and she’s available for adoption!
We think Fiona is an Australian Cattle Dog, Shepherd, Husky mix of some sort, with her gorgeous silvery blue coat and her tall stand-up ears. We estimate her age to be around 4 years old. She currently weighs in at a soft and snuggly 53 lbs.

Fiona is currently fostered in a home with a hyperactive pug, who she tolerates beautifully, and two kitties that she almost completely ignores. Here at the rescue, Fiona was cat tested and we believe her to be cat tolerant. See her cat test for yourself in her video. Fiona is wonderful with other dogs, but doesn’t ask for too much canine engagement or play. We think she would do best in a home with an aloof male, that won’t engage her too much, to keep her company. She could also thrive as a solo dog, soaking up all of your affection for herself.
Fiona is great on leash and takes direction well. She’s also great at completely settling outdoors, just watching the world pass her by. She’s wonderful in the car and loads and unloads on her own. All of these factors, together, make her a wonderful candidate for a camping companion. She’s not overly energetic, but loves her walks, and could likely be convinced to go on a hike with you too!
Fiona’s foster mom walks her almost every day in her neighborhood, and Fiona often interacts with children on these walks. Her foster mom reports that she’s a gentle and sweet angel with all of the children she meets.
Fiona is affectionate and loves belly rubs and full body hugs! She’s treat motivated, and takes treats gently. She does well in her crate, though her foster mom does trust her to free roam in the house! She very much sees her crate as her “safe space” and will retreat to her crate when she feels overwhelmed by her doggy foster brother. Fiona is just such a polite and well mannered girl, looking for forever love.
We are willing to test Fiona 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.
