Story
Hey there, I’m Barkley! You may not know it by looking at me now, but I’ve already had quite the journey. Some kind people found me wandering near an overpass and made sure I got to safety, and I’ve been showing everyone what a friendly, gentle boy I am ever since. I’m about 4 years old, great on a leash, and I absolutely love being pet and held. I’m the kind of dog who leans in for affection and warms up quickly to anyone who shows me kindness. I get along well with other dogs, enjoy good company, and would be so happy to have a home where I can finally relax and feel safe. Whether it’s going for walks, hanging out on the couch, or just being near you, I’m ready to be your loyal companion. Bonus news! If you’re a committed adopter or foster, I can catch a ride down to Petco in Huntersville, NC (10017 Biddick Lane, Huntersville NC 28078) on December 18th, 2025 so we can meet in person! If you’d like to know more about me or think I might be your perfect little buddy, my team would love to hear from you! Email: ncteam@austinpetsalive.org Phone: (704) 266-2452 If you’re looking for a friendly, affectionate, good-on-a-leash buddy who’s ready for a fresh start, I’d love to be your guy. I can’t wait to meet you!

Story
Available mid- December but you can apply now! Meet Laurie Laurie is a 2½-year-old Chihuahua/terrier mix with a sweet, fox-like face and a gentle, shy nature. She warms up slowly, but once she trusts you, she becomes a total cuddle bug who loves blankets, lap time, and even offers her little paws for pets. She’s been great with other dogs and did well around a 4-year-old child. Laurie sleeps quietly through the night (bed or crate), rarely barks, eats well, and takes her meds easily. She’s still gaining confidence, so leash walking hasn’t started yet, but she does well with a steady potty routine. Laurie would do well as an only dog or with a friendly companion—she just needs a patient, loving home where she can blossom.   Applications can be filled out at http://www.piedmontanimalrescue.com/adopt!  Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet does NOT send us Applications. We receive many applications and many never respond after processing GREATLY delaying the pets forever home.  Please only apply if you are serious about adopting.  Please also make sure your pets are up to date on you species applicable Vaccines (rabies, Distemper/Parvo, FVRCP, Bordetella), spayed/neutered, and on Heartworm prevention if a canine. The adoption fee includes their age appropriate vaccinations(DA2PP and Bordetella), Dewormer, spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm test as well as the registration of their microchip information to you.The first step to adopting is to fill out an application for adoption.

She’s proof that the best things really do come in small, adorable packages.   Applications can be filled out at www.piedmontanimalrescue.com/adopt!  Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet does NOT send us Applications.   We receive many applications and many never respond after processing GREATLY delaying the pets forever home.  Please only apply if you are serious about adopting.  Please also make sure your pets are up to date on you species applicable Vaccines (rabies, Distemper/Parvo, FVRCP, Bordetella), spayed/neutered, and on Heartworm prevention if a canine.   The adoption fee includes their age appropriate vaccinations(DA2PP and Bordetella), Dewormer, spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm test as well as the registration of their microchip information to you.

Available mid- December but you can apply now! Meet Donna! Donna is a 2½-year-old tan-and-white Chihuahua with a bright, happy personality and a whole lot of love to give. She adores being with her person and greets her foster excitedly, ready for treats, attention, and playtime. Energetic and fun-loving, Donna enjoys running, playing, and showing off by standing on her hind legs for treats—especially peanut butter. She settles in beautifully once she’s tired and is just as happy to snuggle on the couch or curl up in a bed. She’s been great with other dogs and did well around a 4-year-old child. Donna has had excellent potty habits, sleeps well in a crate or on the bed, doesn’t bark much, and rode calmly in the car. Sweet, playful, and affectionate, Donna is ready for a home that loves a little energy and a lot of cuddles.   Applications can be filled out at http://www.piedmontanimalrescue.com/adopt!  Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet does NOT send us Applications. We receive many applications and many never respond after processing GREATLY delaying the pets forever home.  Please only apply if you are serious about adopting.  Please also make sure your pets are up to date on you species applicable Vaccines (rabies, Distemper/Parvo, FVRCP, Bordetella), spayed/neutered, and on Heartworm prevention if a canine. The adoption fee includes their age appropriate vaccinations(DA2PP and Bordetella), Dewormer, spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm test as well as the registration of their microchip information to you.The first step to adopting is to fill out an application for adoption.
