Story
Chico came to us after his owner had a health crisis and was no longer able to care for him. He spent nearly his entire nine years with the same people, in the same home, and such a sudden change is hard for any dog-- but Chico is resilient and doing well in his foster home. In his foster home, Chico has had the opportunity to get out an about more, and he feels pretty cool riding in a backpack! He'll grumble a little when he meets new people and dogs, but he's just talking, and he gets over it quickly. He's spent his whole life around kids and another dog, so we expect he'll be fine in a home with kids and dogs, given proper introductions and time to acclimate. He's pretty lazy and he loves his bed, and laps! Chico is about 9 years old, 12 pounds (could stand to lose a couple), neutered, vaccinated and started on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting one of our pets, please visit our website and fill out an application: www.northmeckanimalrescue.org

Story
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.

Story
Meet Nicki! Nicki is a tiny 6-year-old chihuahua with a sweet personality and an even sweeter heart. She loves warm laps, cozy blankets, and supervising her humans from the comfort of her favorite pillow or in her crate. Nicki walks through life with a bit of caution until she knows her surroundings and gets comfortable.  Whether she’s sunbathing, begging for treats with her signature head tilt, or curling up for a nap, Nicki brings warmth, and joy  to everyone she meets. 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.

Story
Please note we had first listed Ollie on rehome when we found him 3 years ago. Ollie had come to us as an injured stray in 2022. He had a broken left foot, but after some time healing up, he fit right into our home so we kept him. He's fully house-trained (may mark if left unattended), likes his crate, and is happiest either cuddling with you or stretched out on a soft blanket. He loves sitting in the sun, snacking on carrots, chasing squirrels, and curling up with his stuffed animals. He's about 5 years old and roughly 10 lbs. The reason he's up for adoption is because, like a lot of chihuahuas, he can be reactive. For example if he's asleep on your lap and gets startled, he may growl or snap - so you just need to give him a heads-up before getting up. He's an alpha and can be hot/cold, almost like a cat. With a newborn in the house now, we can't take any risks. Ollie knows basic commands. He would do best as the only pet and someone who understands chihuahua behavior.

Story
Hi there, I’m Fred! I’m a sweet young little guy with a big heart and an even bigger desire to find my very own person. I LOVE TO SMILE as you can see in my photos! I may be small, but I have plenty of love to give—whether that’s snuggles, happy tail wags, or just being your cheerful shadow throughout the day. I’m still getting to know the world, but I’m gentle, friendly, and ready to bond with someone who will love me right back. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who brings sunshine in a small package… that might be me! Bonus news! If I can find 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! I would love that. 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) 266-3647
