Meet Clarissa, a 3-year-old gorgeous Golden Shepherd mix with beautiful, healthy fur and a heart full of love. Clarissa has the biggest heart and a gentle soul, she is incredibly maternal and perfect for a home with kids or other dogs. She would also make a wonderful solo companion. She is a social butterfly who loves to be included in activities where she can meet new friends.

Clarissa currently lives in a home with two small dogs and gets along splendidly with cats and dogs of all sizes. She is social and friendly, always eager to make new friends. Clarissa would love to join you on your daily adventures to parks and patios, but she is also perfectly content when left alone. Comfortable in her crate, Clarissa views it as her safe space and happily puts herself to bed at the end of the day. We would love to see her continue this routine in her new home.

With her patient demeanor and excellent manners, Clarissa is well-trained and very smart. She quickly learns new tricks and routines, making her a joy to have around. Additionally, Clarissa would greatly benefit from a slow feeder bowl to help manage her mealtime pace.

Clarissa is ready to have a family of her own to shower with love. If you're looking for a sweet, gentle, and family-friendly companion with a big heart and a gentle soul, Clarissa is the perfect match. She is ready to fill your home with love and become a cherished member of your family.

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!
