Story

Sweet Hunny was my Godmother’s love of her life. Last year she passed away at the age of 78. My Godmother did not have children (just me - her little girl) and her pups! Her Boyfriend was supposed to take care of them and he fell short and sweet Hunny was rescued from that situation. I have had Hunny & her sister Cali for over a month now and have nurtured back to health & now due to have 6 dogs of my own I need to find an amazing home for her & her sister cali (dachshund). I would love to keep them together but also understand that is not always possible. these pups have been through so much and i want them to have the best life - they deserve it. I know there is someone who wants to rescue and give her so much love.

Story

Hi! I'm Lil Red! I'm a 9-month-old Pit Bull mix girl with a big heart and so much love to give! I'm still just a puppy, learning all about the world and hoping to find my very own family to grow up with. I'm dreaming of a forever home where I can be loved, spoiled, played with, and included in all the fun. I have my whole life ahead of me, and I can't wait to share it with someone special! I may be waiting in a shelter right now, but I'm hoping my stay here is short. All I really want is a family to call my own, a cozy place to sleep, and someone who will never give up on me. Could you be my happily ever after? Please come meet me! I promise I'm worth it! I will be transported to the Shelter Pet Adoption Center located inside Petco at 10017 Biddick Lane, Huntersville, NC 28078 with a committed foster or adopter. If you are interested in fostering or adopting me, please email NCteam@austinpetsalive.org or call (704) 266-3647.
