In this paper we classify fuzzy subgroups of a rank-3 abelian group $G = \mathbb{Z}_{p^n} + \mathbb{Z}_p + \mathbb{Z}_p$ for any fixed prime $p$ and any positive integer $n$, using a natural equivalence relation given in \cite{mur:01}. We present and prove explicit polynomial formulae for the number of (i) subgroups, (ii) maximal chains of subgroups, (iii) distinct fuzzy subgroups, (iv) non-isomorphic maximal chains of subgroups and (v) classes of isomorphic fuzzy subgroups of $G$. Illustrative examples are provided.
