For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Carraway is a beautiful, loyal pup that is so ready for a home of her very own❤️
To understand Carraway, you need to be let in on her backstory… For weeks, she had been spotted and was being fed by a Good Samaritan in a really bad part of Birmingham. We knew she had been pregnant and she had her babies, but it took a little bit to figure out where they were. Once we knew they were in an abandoned boarded up house, we knew what we had to do. We were able to trap Mama Carraway, and then we were able to get into the house and rescue her puppies ( our Birmingham Streets Litter) from under the floor - they were about five weeks old at the time. We wondered, would mama be OK, would she be able to adjust after life on the street? But we were soon answered by her curling up with her puppies’ Rescuer in a chair at Dixie House. It was then that we knew she would be OK.
Carraway has had a long road, even since rescue. Through vetting and heartworm treatment, a couple different foster homes, her “breed” working against her… But this sweet girl is more ready than ever to find a home and family of her own. She has come so far! She went from showing dog leash reactivity, to assimilating into a foster home with eight other adult dogs, ranging in all sizes and puppies! At first she had no idea how to play, what toys were, or how to be a pet. But it did not take long!
Carraway has a few things that she REALLY loves:
Car Rides *she might claim shotgun*
Snuggles (especially with kids!)
Squeaker & tug toys
Walks!
Other dogs!
Carraway does well in a crate, plays well with others, and is overall just a sweet and loving girl. She has been misunderstood for far too long and is ready for a home that sees her for who she is and gives her all she deserves.
