Story
Stella is a breathtakingly beautiful and heart-meltingly sweet Pyr mix looking for forever love. This precious girl is cat-tolerant and dog-friendly, affectionate, engaged and intelligent. She has that classic mellow Pyrenees demeanor, with a tail that wags more often than most, and a smile that could brighten any room.
If you can’t tell, we’re all head over heels for Stella Starlight. She’s so outgoing and friendly with humans that the entire staff fell in love the moment she stepped paw on rescue property. We believe that Stella is a Great Pyrenees mix of some sort, but she is a rescue, so her exact lineage cannot be guaranteed. Stella is estimated to be around 1 year old and weighs in at a soft, fluffy and snuggly 59 pounds.

Stella is currently fostered in a loving home with multiple other dogs. She enjoys her couch time, and her outdoor time. Stella is amazing with other dogs, reading them well and sharing affection with grace and ease. However, she is not overly energetically playful. Don’t expect this gentle giant to zoom around in the backyard with your pup, but do count on her for some gentle wrestling play on the living room floor.
Here at the rescue, Stella was cat-tested, ans approved by our house cat Tom. Tom trusted her so much that he resigned to a nap on the floor before her cat-test was even complete! Our behavior team says she’s cat-tolerant and capable of living in a home with dog-savvy kitties.
Stella is also wonderfully well behaved. She doesn’t have accidents indoors here at the rescue, she does well on leash and she knows how to sit on command. This sweet girl is very tolerant as well, allowing us to manhandle her with no issue. She takes treats incredibly gently and shares well with her canine companions. She’s amazing in the car and friendly with everyone she meets, making her an easy dog to take out and about. She’s simply the sweetest, best behaved girl.
Stella has an adorable habit of sitting with her tongue poking slightly out of her mouth, see for yourself in her video.
Stella is mellow enough that she won’t need much for you, she’s okay with quiet nights in and a spot on the couch to call her own. She’s also outgoing enough, and adaptable enough to thrive in a busy, social household. This floofy pretty girl is just looking for forever love, she’s not too picky. She would do well in a home with other pets, but she’s loving and people-oriented enough to thrive as your only child. While we haven’t seen her with kids just yet, we believe she has the makings of an excellent family dog.
Stella is ready to meet you, and knowing her- it will be love at first sight. We are willing to test Stella Starlight 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.

We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!
You will get to meet your new pup over a video call before signing paperwork, creating a fun and personalized adoption experience!

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success.
Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!
Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
The rescue’s hard costs alone for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,120. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that Three Little Pitties Rescue is not government funded.

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
Follow our rescue journey and connect with us on our website and social media platforms. Together, we can make a difference, one adoption at a time.
