Shelby Shores is a dream dog, a volunteer favorite, a best friend, a family dog, your kids first rescue dog. Shelby is looking for a home where she can really be a part of the family, she would make an amazing family dog or a great companion dog for a retiree.
We believe that Shelby is a pitbull. Catahoula mix, she is a rescue so her exact age and breed are unknown to us and cannot be guaranteed. Shelby currently weighs in at 47 pounds and is estimated to be around two years old. Shelby is a stunning girl with the signature Catahoula spots and partial iris heterochromia, gorgeous half-blue half-brown irises in each eye.

Shelby is a rescue dog with a grateful heart. She gives wonderful hugs, the sweetest kisses, and loves to snuggle. She is a dream in the car and loves to go on adventures. She is great on leash. She is playful, but not overly energetic. She is a very good girl looking for forever love.
When you first meet Shelby, you will be greeted with so many kisses. She warms up instantly and loves making new friends, knowing Shelby it will be love at first sight when she meets her forever family.
Shelby is exceptionally dog friendly and has a rambunctious and rowdy place style. She loves to zoom and play chase with her doggy friends. She loves playing with tennis balls and she loves the doggy pool. We think Shelby would love to live in a home with a moderately playful doggy sibling.
Shelby is a dream with kids, we have seen Shelby with kids as young as three years old and she has done wonderfully with all of them. She is very gentle and sweet and loving with kids. We think she would be an amazing family dog, the first rescue dog that your kids will talk about for the rest of their lives.
Shelby has been cat tested here at the rescue and is cat tolerance. We believe she could live in a home with dog savvy cats.
Shelby has great house manners and loves to lay on the couch. She graciously shares and encourages couch snuggling, this girl would love late movie nights and lazy Saturday mornings with you.
Shelby is looking for a home with a backyard to zoom in, maybe some kids or other dogs around to play with, and a lot of love to share. Shelby Shores was made for loving, she wont mind a socially active household where she can share all of her kisses with lots of two-legged and four-legged friends, she equally wouldnt mind a socially introverted home where she can focus all of her love on one or two people. Shelby is adaptable, available, and eagerly awaiting you, with a grateful and open heart!

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 rescues 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 caresuch as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic carecan 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.
